Diagnostics
Discography
A diagnostic procedure that pinpoints exactly which spinal disc is generating your pain.
Overview
Discography involves injecting a small amount of contrast dye into one or more spinal discs to reproduce and localize pain, helping determine whether a specific disc is the true pain generator — critical information before considering procedures like disc decompression or endoscopic discectomy.

- •Patients with inconclusive MRI findings
- •Candidates being evaluated for disc-targeted procedures or surgery
What to Expect
