I have numbness in my legs — could MRI help?
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.
