I have persistent headaches with neck stiffness — could MRI help?
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.
