Q1: When should I consider a shoulder MRI?
A shoulder MRI is recommended if you have:
Persistent pain despite physiotherapy or medications
Limited range of motion or difficulty lifting your arm
Suspected rotator cuff, ligament, or cartilage injury
Pain affecting sports, work, or daily activities
MRI detects soft tissue injuries, labral tears, and ligament damage that X-rays, CT, or ultrasound may miss.

Q3: How does MRI at The Pain Relief Clinic improve care?
Early MRI allows accurate diagnosis of shoulder injuries, preventing unnecessary treatments or delayed recovery. Targeted non-surgical therapy can restore function and relieve pain safely.
Q4: Are other scans sufficient for shoulder issues?
X-rays: Show only bone alignment
CT scans: Limited for soft tissue
Ultrasound: May miss deep tendon or labral injuries
