Default Spinal Probing - diagnostic technique

Hi
Has anyone ever heard of the use of a diagnostic technique called spinal probing?
I have struggled for years to get a definitive diagnosis for my continued pain and disability following a split 2 level ADR procedure in 2003 (L5/S1 and L3/4) and was wondering if this might be a useful procedure in my case. The procedure is carried out in an aware state under light sedation and I believe is commonly used as an intraoperative diagnostic tool during some MISS procedures..
Details of the procedure can be found at the following links;
Spinal Probing
Diagnosis
Spinal Probing & Discography - Spinal Foundation

This would be pretty pricey so would need to be sure it's at least got a fair chance of identifying my pain generators before proceeding..

Thanks and Kind Regards
Tim
