Q1: Why does my hip hurt after minor injury?
Even minor trauma can cause labrum tears, tendon injuries, cartilage damage, or bursitis, which cannot be seen on X-ray.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies the extent of structural damage, guiding effective, targeted treatment.

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 soft tissues and cartilage. X-ray shows bones only; CT is limited for 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, with non-surgical treatment options.
