What are Discography Side Effects?
Avoiding Discography Side Effects: Why Biologic Discography Is the Safer Option
In this video, Dr. Centeno explains the risks associated with traditional contrast-based discography—such as infection, disc damage, and accelerated degeneration—and introduces a safer, regenerative alternative: biologic discography. By injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or stem cells alongside contrast dye, Regenexx enhances healing while still gathering the diagnostic data needed. Dr. Centeno discusses why this approach represents a smarter, more effective way to evaluate painful spinal discs and calls on other physicians to adopt this patient-centric method.
Dr. Centeno practices at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic and is one of the pioneers of interventional orthobiologics, specializing in non-surgical treatments for spine and joint conditions.
