If you are inclined to get MRI done , Get MRI Cervical Spine With Screening of Whole Spine done.Ideally you should be thoroughly examined first and should try basic conservative treatment first and if No Relief then only opt for MRI

You need to consult doctor before getting investigations done. If clinically it’s necessary we would suggest you to undergo cervical and lumbar spine mri.
