Q1: When should I consider a back MRI?
A back MRI is recommended if you have:

• Persistent back pain unrelieved by therapy or medication

• Radiating leg pain, numbness, or weakness (sciatica)

• Loss of bladder or bowel control (red flag)

• Pain affecting work, sports, or daily activities

MRI identifies disc herniation, spinal stenosis, nerve compression, and soft tissue injuries missed by X-rays or CT.

Q2: Why choose The Pain Relief Clinic for back MRI?
Fast: Scans completed within 1 working day
Affordable: Under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable. Cashless options available

Integrated care: Non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, guided exercises, and hot therapy available immediately

Q3: How does MRI improve back pain care?
Accurate MRI prevents unnecessary treatments or surgeries. Early imaging allows targeted therapy, faster recovery, and safe pain relief for chronic or acute back conditions.

Q4: Are other scans sufficient for back issues?

• X-rays: Only show bone alignment

• CT scans: Limited for soft tissue

• Ultrasound: Cannot image deep spinal structures

MRI is superior for full assessment of discs, spinal cord, nerves, and ligaments.
