Q1: When should I consider a knee MRI?
A knee MRI is recommended if you have:
-
Persistent knee pain despite physiotherapy or medication
-
Swelling, locking, or instability in the knee
-
Suspected ligament tears (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL) or meniscus injuries
-
Pain affecting work, sports, or daily activities
MRI detects soft tissue and internal knee injuries that X-rays, CT, or ultrasound may miss.

Q3: How does MRI at The Pain Relief Clinic improve care?

Q4: Are other scans sufficient for knee issues?

-
CT scans: Limited for soft tissue
-
