About
Dr. Lou Saeger earned his MD degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine, and entered private practice in 1986, after completing his residency in Anesthesiology with the University of Washington, and a two-year NIH fellowship in Pain Research with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. He is Board-Certified in both Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine and is certified as a Fellow in Interventional Pain Practice (FIPP) by the World Institute of Pain. He has recently accepted the position of Medical Director of Regenerative Medicine and Interventional Pain Management of the Hyper Charge clinics and is the founder of Premier Spine and Pain Clinics, Premier Interventional Pain Specialists and Premier Regenerative Medicine Associates, based in Edina, MN., and is a member of the Board of Directors of Greenway Surgery Suites in Minneapolis.
Since the early 1990s, Dr. Saeger’s practice has been focused on the diagnosis and treatment of spine-related pain, with more recent emphasis on state-ot-the-art interventional regenerative and ortho-biologic therapies. After moving to the Twin Cities area in 2003, he established the Interventional Pain Management Division of Midwest Spine Institute, and has collaborated with Dr. Glenn Buttermann on studies of spinal biomechanics in an animal model for testing an artificial disc prototype, and more recently has been a co-investigator on a study of epidural injection of amniotic fluid for low back pain. Ongoing advanced practice modalities include minimally invasive surgical techniques for treatment of spinal stenosis, sacroiliac joint fusion, and peripheral nerve stimulation. Dr. Saeger has assumed a leadership role in Minnesota, serving on the chronic pain guidelines working group of the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement, and as past President and current Director at Large of the Minnesota Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, and also represents the Minnesota Medical Association on the Department of Health’s X-ray Safety Advisory Committee.
Dr. Saeger is a long-standing member of the International Pain and Spine Intervention Society (IPSIS), is a senior IPSIS clinical instructor, IPSIS-certified in evidence-based medicine, and serves as a peer-review referee for the journals Pain Medicine and Pain Practice. He is also an active member of the North American Spine Society, the North American Neuromodulation Society, the World Institute of Pain, and the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians. He has been repeatedly honored with inclusion in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Magazine’s “Top Doctors” from 2019 through 2024, and is again listed among “America’s Best Physicians” for 2025.
