#82 - When MRI's Can Be Harmful

In this episode of the podcast we discuss the use & misuse of medical imaging in a healthcare setting, especially around recurring pain or injury. We look at when an MRI or X-ray may be the best option for your situation, as well as when it could be harmful to your recovery. We explore the use for knee, hip & shoulder injuries specifically. As well as should they be an option for long standing back pain or is it even necessary for possible cartilage issues? We also discuss what to expect when getting certain scans, what you need to worry about and what is not generally an issue.
