Actually, both should give information on the structural integrity of the spine. Both inside and out. The discogram will give even more information related to the tears of the walls of the disc (leakage) and which disc(s) are causing your pain.

If you go to have a discogram - feel free to ask Mark and others in your local area as to which docs have a good reputation performing discograms. Experience counts a lot!

The more information you can get the better.

Take care,
