I have tingling and numbness in my hands — could MRI help?
Q1: Why do my hands feel numb or tingly?
Symptoms may result from cervical disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression, which cannot be confirmed without MRI.
Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies the structural cause, allowing targeted treatment and avoiding ineffective therapy.
Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated nerve compression may worsen, leading to chronic pain, weakness, or permanent neurological deficits.
Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides detailed, radiation-free imaging of discs, spinal cord, and nerves. X-ray shows bones only; CT is limited 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.
