Discography (Discogram)

A Discogram is done to confirm that the disc in the lumbar or cervical spine is the source of pain. A small amount of radiocontrast is placed in the disc and outlines the shape or disc morphology. By doing this tears and aberrations within the disc can be identified.

Therapeutic medication such as steroids and anesthetics can be directly injected into the disc, thereby decreasing pain caused by the inflamed disc.
