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.
