A discogram is a diagnostic procedure, not a surgical one. It involves injecting a contrast dye into the intervertebral disc to assess for pain and identify any disc-related issues. The procedure is typically performed under fluoroscopy to guide the needle placement and is used to help diagnose conditions like disc herniation or degeneration. While it can involve some discomfort, it is minimally invasive and usually performed on an outpatient basis.
