Why Chronic Pain Persists Even When X-Rays and MRI Reports Are Normal

Chronic pain can persist even when X-rays and MRI reports appear normal because pain is not always caused by visible structural damage. In many cases, the root cause lies in muscle imbalances, joint stiffness, poor posture, nerve sensitization, weak core stability, or faulty movement patterns that scans cannot detect. Prolonged stress, past injuries, repetitive strain, and sedentary lifestyles can also keep the nervous system in a constant “alert” state, making the body continue to feel pain even after tissues have healed. When only reports are treated and movement dysfunction is ignored, pain tends to become long-standing and recurrent. This is where physiotherapy plays a crucial role by identifying functional problems, correcting movement, restoring strength, and calming the nervous system. At Navjeewan Ortho Physiotherapy Clinic, the best physiotherapy clinic in Faridabad, treatment focuses on the real cause of pain—not just reports—helping patients achieve lasting relief and improved quality of life.
