Understanding Discography

Discography, or discogram, is a specialised diagnostic test used to determine whether a specific intervertebral disc is the source of chronic back pain. This procedure involves injecting a contrast dye into one or more spinal discs under imaging guidance, helping to reveal abnormalities that may not appear on MRI or CT scans alone.

At REGENIQUE in Bangalore, discography is performed with precision to aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, especially in complex spine pain cases. It helps differentiate between discs with normal age-related changes and those truly responsible for pain, guiding next steps in non-surgical or surgical care.

Advantages of Discography

Accurate Pain Source Identification

Helps isolate the specific disc responsible for chronic pain, especially when other scans are inconclusive.

Supports Personalised Treatment Planning

Provides detailed information for planning targeted treatments, including injections or surgery.

Real-Time Functional Assessment

Evaluates how discs behave under pressure, offering dynamic insights into disc integrity and pain response.

Valuable Pre-Surgical Tool

Used to confirm the need for spinal procedures such as disc replacement or spinal fusion.

Minimally Invasive & Outpatient-Based

Performed with local anaesthesia and fluoroscopic guidance, allowing quick recovery and minimal downtime.
