I have shoulder instability or dislocations — can MRI help?

Uncategorized | 2025 Oct

Q1: Why does my shoulder feel unstable or dislocate?
Ligament tears, labrum injury, or rotator cuff weakness may cause recurrent dislocations. MRI clearly visualizes these structures.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. Persistent instability despite strengthening exercises or therapy signals the need for imaging before further conservative or surgical interventions.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Repeated dislocations can cause chronic pain, joint damage, and muscle weakness.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides detailed soft tissue imaging, unlike X-ray which only shows bones, or CT which may miss soft tissue injuries.

Q5: Fast, affordable MRI option?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, plus non-surgical treatment options.
