Q1: Why does my back hurt when bending or lifting?
Pain may result from disc herniation, ligament injury, muscle strain, or early arthritis. Therapy alone cannot identify the exact cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. Persistent pain despite treatment indicates structural injury that MRI can detect for precise, targeted care.

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

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI visualizes discs, ligaments, and muscles with high clarity without radiation. 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: Why do my legs feel numb?
Numbness can result from disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression, which cannot be excluded without MRI.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t resolved symptoms — should I get MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies the structural cause, guiding targeted treatment and preventing ineffective therapy continuation.

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

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI visualizes nerves, discs, and soft tissue clearly without radiation. X-ray shows bones only; CT is less sensitive for 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 lower back hurt after sitting?
Pain may result from disc degeneration, herniation, spinal stenosis, or facet joint issues. Therapy alone may not reveal the exact cause.

Q2: Short-term therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. Persistent pain despite therapy indicates structural damage that MRI can detect for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated disc or nerve injuries may worsen, causing chronic pain, sciatica, or mobility issues.

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

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

Q1: Why get MRI before hip surgery?
MRI precisely identifies injured structures—labrum, cartilage, tendons—ensuring surgery is necessary and properly targeted.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. MRI confirms the root cause, avoiding unnecessary surgery or ineffective interventions.

Q3: Risks of skipping MRI?
Incorrect diagnosis may lead to ineffective surgery, prolonged recovery, and persistent pain.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI clearly visualizes soft tissue structures, unlike X-ray or CT, and is radiation-free.

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

Q1: What causes hip stiffness?
Stiffness may result from labrum tears, tendon injuries, cartilage degeneration, or early osteoarthritis. Therapy alone may not reveal the cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies the exact structural problem, allowing targeted treatment rather than continued ineffective therapy.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated injuries may worsen, causing chronic stiffness, reduced range of motion, and impaired daily activities.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides detailed, radiation-free imaging of soft tissues, labrum, and cartilage. 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.
