%X We present a case report demonstrating a new technique for intradiscal injection under ultrasound guidance in treating lumbar disc herniation. A 16-year-old female gymnast underwent this procedure and experienced relief from pain. Traditional methods have been noted for their technical challenges and potential risk of nerve root damage. In this case, our approach visualized the lateral side of the disc and improved needle visibility. This technique potentially offers a clearer high-resolution confirmation of the needle's position within the disc. It is considered that this technique is effective not only for performing precise injections but also for enhancing safety due to the clear depiction of the needle tip entering the intervertebral disc.
