Q1: Why does long sitting cause back pain?
Prolonged sitting can aggravate early disc degeneration, ligament strain, or nerve compression. Symptoms may persist even after stretching or therapy.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. Persistent pain indicates the underlying issue hasn’t been addressed. MRI can identify disc, ligament, or nerve problems before they worsen.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Chronic untreated issues can lead to nerve damage, pain flare-ups, and reduced work productivity.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI shows soft tissue and nerves clearly without radiation; X-ray or CT may miss early disc or ligament problems.

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.
