From the Doctor
Dr. Lou Saeger brings over three decades of experience, unwavering dedication to precision technique, and an ongoing commitment to state-of-the-art advances in the diagnosis and treatment of pain. His practice focuses on painful spinal disorders, orthopedic conditions, and neurologic injuries. His team at Premier Spine and Pain Clinics collaborates closely with other surgical and medical specialists, chiropractors, and physical therapists, integrating appropriately targeted, symptom-specific interventional and regenerative procedures into comprehensive, patient-centered care plans.
Nationally recognized and published in his specialty, Dr. Saeger teaches Spine Intervention Society’s bio-skills courses, is certified in evidence-based medicine and serves as a peer-reviewer for the journal Pain Medicine. Asked why he devotes significant time to these efforts, he says, “I really enjoy teaching, and volunteering for these activities helps keep me on top of my game when it comes to hands-on technical skills, and current advances in clinical research.”
Dr. Saeger has been listed among America's Top Physicians for several consecutive years, including 2021. He co-authored a recent clinical study using amniotic fluid injections for low back pain that was presented at multiple international conferences and published in the proceedings for the North American Spine Society's 2020 Annual Meeting, and he's an investigator in several other ongoing clinical research studies.
In addition to offering routine treatments, including radiofrequency ablation, image-guided diagnostic, therapeutic, and regenerative injections, Dr. Saeger offers several unique minimally invasive conservative surgical options, including endoscopic facet neurotomy, laser-assisted discectomy, sacroiliac joint fusion, the VertiFlex procedure for spinal stenosis, as well as spinal cord, peripheral nerve, and dorsal root neural stimulation implants for chronic pain.
