Q1: When should I consider a hip MRI?
A hip MRI is recommended if you have:
Persistent hip pain not relieved by physiotherapy or medication
Limited range of motion or difficulty walking
Suspected labral tears, cartilage damage, or ligament injuries
Pain affecting sports, work, or daily activities
MRI identifies soft tissue and joint injuries that X-rays, CT, or ultrasound may miss.
Q2: Why choose The Pain Relief Clinic for hip MRI?
Fast: MRI scans completed within 1 working day
Affordable: Under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable. Cashless options available to avoid upfront payment
Comprehensive: High-resolution, radiation-free imaging with specialist radiologist reports included
Integrated care: Non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, guided exercises, and hot therapy available immediately
Q3: How does MRI at The Pain Relief Clinic improve care?
MRI allows accurate diagnosis of hip labral tears, cartilage damage, or ligament injuries, preventing unnecessary treatments or surgeries. Early imaging enables targeted therapy for faster recovery and pain relief.
Q4: Are other scans sufficient for hip issues?
X-rays: Only show bones
CT scans: Limited for soft tissue
Ultrasound: Cannot reliably detect labral or deep tissue injuries
MRI is superior because it visualizes ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and surrounding soft tissues in high resolution without radiation.
