Q1: Why does my back hurt at night?
Pain may be caused by disc herniation, spinal stenosis, ligament or muscle injury. Short therapy trials cannot confirm the exact cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. Persistent night pain indicates structural injury, which MRI can detect for accurate, targeted treatment.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated injuries may worsen, causing chronic pain, disrupted sleep, and reduced mobility.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides detailed, radiation-free imaging of soft tissues, discs, and nerves. X-ray shows bones only; CT is less sensitive for soft tissue.

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