About neck (cervical) MRI

A cervical spine MRI images the seven vertebrae of the neck, the discs between them, the spinal cord, and the nerve roots that branch out to the arms and hands. Neck pain and radiating arm symptoms are extremely common, and MRI is the definitive tool for finding their structural cause. In the US healthcare system, getting a cervical MRI approved through insurance can take weeks, and out-of-pocket costs often run $600-$2,000 after deductibles. Mira bypasses the wait: $369, scan within days, report in 48 hours.

When is a neck (cervical) MRI recommended?

Your doctor may refer you for an MRI if you are experiencing any of these symptoms or conditions. A physician referral is required for all Houston scans.
