Q1: Why does my back hurt when twisting?
Pain may result from disc herniation, ligament injury, or facet joint strain. Therapy alone cannot exclude structural injury.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies the exact injury, guiding effective, targeted treatment and preventing further complications.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated injuries may worsen, causing chronic pain, restricted movement, and functional limitations.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides clear, radiation-free imaging of soft tissues, discs, and ligaments. X-ray shows bones only; CT poorly visualizes soft tissue.

Q5: Fast MRI option?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, with non-surgical treatment options.

Q1: What causes mid-back stiffness?
Stiffness may result from disc degeneration, ligament or muscle injury, or early arthritis. Therapy alone may not identify the structural cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies structural damage, allowing targeted treatment and preventing ineffective therapy continuation.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated injuries may worsen, leading to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and functional impairment.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides high-resolution, radiation-free imaging of discs, ligaments, and muscles. X-ray shows bones only; CT poorly visualizes soft tissue.

Q5: Fast MRI solution?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, along with non-surgical treatment options.

Q1: Why does my back hurt at night?
Pain may be caused by disc herniation, spinal stenosis, ligament or muscle injury. Short therapy trials cannot confirm the exact cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. Persistent night pain indicates structural injury, which MRI can detect for accurate, targeted treatment.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated injuries may worsen, causing chronic pain, disrupted sleep, and reduced mobility.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides detailed, radiation-free imaging of soft tissues, discs, and nerves. X-ray shows bones only; CT is less sensitive for soft tissue.

Q5: Fast MRI option?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, with non-surgical treatment options.

Q1: Why do my arms feel weak or tingly?
Symptoms may result from cervical disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression, which cannot be ruled out without MRI.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies the root structural cause, enabling targeted, evidence-based treatment.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated nerve compression may worsen, causing persistent pain, weakness, or irreversible neurological deficits.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides detailed, radiation-free imaging of discs, spinal cord, and nerves. X-ray shows bones only; CT poorly visualizes soft tissue.

Q5: Fast MRI solution?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, along with non-surgical treatment options.

Q1: Why does my upper back hurt chronically?
Persistent pain may result from disc degeneration, ligament injury, muscle strain, or early arthritis.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies structural issues that therapy alone cannot detect, guiding effective treatment.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated injuries may worsen, causing chronic pain, limited function, and decreased quality of life.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides high-resolution, radiation-free imaging of soft tissues, discs, and ligaments. X-ray shows bones only; CT is less effective for soft tissues.

Q5: Fast MRI solution?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, plus non-surgical treatment options.
