Discogram Index

Featured: Discogram (Discography) Main Article
As we age, or become injured, the vertebral discs can become damaged and/or shrink, which causes pain. A discogram is used to determine if a particular vertebral disc is the source of pain. Discograms attempt to reproduce rather than remove pain to help determine if injury to a particular disc is the source of a person's pain. The information gathered from the discogram can lead to the diagnosis of a particular disc injury so the doctor can determine treatment options for relief of the pain.
