Q1: Why do I get headaches with neck stiffness?
Causes may include cervical disc injury, ligament strain, or nerve compression. Therapy alone may not resolve or diagnose the root cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies structural problems, guiding precise treatment and preventing wasted therapy.

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

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

Q5: Fast MRI solution?
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 does my neck hurt after whiplash?
Whiplash can injure cervical ligaments, discs, or muscles, which may not be detected on X-ray.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies structural injuries, allowing precise, evidence-based treatment and preventing chronic issues.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated ligament or disc injury may worsen, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI visualizes ligaments, discs, and soft tissues clearly, 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, plus non-surgical treatment options.

Q1: What causes chronic neck stiffness?
Stiffness may result from cervical disc degeneration, ligament or muscle injury, or early arthritis. Therapy alone may not reveal the structural cause.

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

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 is less effective 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 hands feel numb or tingly?
Symptoms may result from cervical disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression, which cannot be confirmed without MRI.

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

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated nerve compression may worsen, leading to chronic pain, weakness, or permanent 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 is limited 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 neck pain radiate to my arms?
This can result from cervical disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression. Short therapy trials cannot confirm the structural cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. Persistent radiating pain despite therapy indicates structural injury, which MRI can detect for precise, targeted treatment.

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

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI clearly shows discs, spinal cord, and nerves without radiation. X-ray shows bones only; CT is less effective for soft tissues.

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.
