About Us
Dedicated To The Treatment of Spinal Disorders.
We specialize in treating both simple and complex neck and back problems, and our clinical team is dedicated to finding the cause of discomfort and pain for each patient. We believe that treating symptoms alone is not a comprehensive long-term solution. Using accurate and thorough diagnostic tools aids our clinicians in successfully treating the majority of our patients with conservative treatment modalities and in evaluating and identifying those patients who truly need and should benefit from surgery.

Meet Our Team
The Spine Institute of Louisiana physicians recognize that medicine is a service profession and as such believe that the health and healing of patients must come first. We feel that each and every patient should be treated in a respectful and compassionate manner as we strive to seek solutions that will improve the quality of our patients’ lives. Our philosophy is to provide quality patient care using innovative and minimally invasive technologies in a manner that offers convenience, and a continuum of care that routinely sets the mark higher than the accepted standard of care for the area.
Success Stories
Patient Reviews
"I immediately knew it worked, because the pain, achiness and tingling was gone. I'm completely satisfied and just happy."
“As soon as I woke up from surgery, I had no pain; none in my neck and none in my arm. Six months after surgery I began playing tennis and golf again.”
"There is no pain now. I haven't had any pain since the surgeries. And, I have not had any pain medication since 4-5 days after surgery."
"I can't say enough about Dr. Utter's bedside manner and how well he communicated with me and my family. He took as long as necessary to explain and answer all of our questions."
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a physician?
A referral is only needed if required by your insurance carrier. Typically, however, our patients have already seen their primary care physician or an orthopedic specialist and are sent to one of the Spine Institute physicians for a consultative appointment. Our physicians then relay back to the referring physician the results of your appointment(s).
What is the procedure for prescription refill requests?
Once a patient has called and requested a refill on an existing prescription, that request is sent to the physician for approval. If approved we ask that you allow 24 hours for the prescription to be called in due to the volume of refill requests that flow through our clinic. If the refill request is not approved, you will hear back from one of our staff members within 2 working days.
When will my epidural steroid injection (ESI) or selective nerve root block (SNRB) appointment be scheduled?
If an ESI or SNRB is ordered by one of the Spine Institute of Louisiana physicians, the order will be sent to a pain management physician for scheduling. The pain management’s office staff will call you within 7-10 working days to set up an appointment for the procedure.
