A discogram is performed using a combination of injections and x-ray technology. During the treatment, a special, harmless dye is injected into one or multiple discs in the spine. When examined through an x-ray monitor, this dye will reveal the shape, position, and condition of these discs. With these images, we will be able to pinpoint the source of your pain and recommend an appropriate treatment. The discogram procedure usually takes less than an hour to perform.
