Q1: When should I consider a back MRI?
A back MRI is recommended if you have:
Persistent back pain not relieved by physiotherapy or medication
Radiating leg pain, numbness, or weakness (sciatica)
Loss of bladder or bowel control (red flag)
Pain limiting work, sports, or daily activities
MRI identifies disc herniation, spinal stenosis, nerve compression, and ligament or soft tissue injuries that X-rays or CT scans may miss.

Q3: How does MRI at The Pain Relief Clinic improve care?
MRI ensures accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause of pain, preventing unnecessary treatments or surgeries. Early imaging allows for targeted non-surgical therapy, reducing the risk of chronic back pain and nerve damage.
Q4: Are other scans sufficient for back issues?
X-rays: Show only bone alignment
CT scans: Limited for soft tissue
Ultrasound: Cannot see deep spinal structures
MRI is the only option for a complete, radiation-free assessment of discs, spinal cord, nerves, and ligaments.
