Dr. Sauer specializes in minimally invasive treatment modalities for spinal stenosis, sciatica, low back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and spinal pain of multiple origins. He also treats painful peripheral neuropathies, such as occipital neuralgia, painful lateral femoral cutaneous (skin) neuralgia, facial neuralgias, reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD or CRPS), and other intractable pain syndromes. In treating spine patients, he works closely with our spine surgeons to avoid or delay surgery as well as to make surgery more precise.
