    Area of Science:

    • Spinal diagnostics
    • Radiological imaging
    • Pain management

    Background:

    • Discography involves injecting a radio-opaque contrast medium into the nucleus pulposus.
    • It serves as a valuable diagnostic tool for spinal pain investigation, particularly when planning surgery.
    • The procedure's utilization is notably limited in South Africa.

    Observation:

    • The article addresses the underutilization of discography in South Africa.
    • It aims to elucidate the diagnostic significance of this procedure.
    • New procedural modifications are presented.

    Findings:

    • Discography effectively aids in diagnosing the source of spinal pain.
    • The procedure is a useful adjunct for surgical planning in spinal conditions.
