If you’re considering Prolozone® Therapy for chronic back pain, joint pain, sciatica, or a soft-tissue injury, knowing what to expect at your first appointment can help you feel prepared and confident. The process at Dr. Steven Wiener’s Bloomfield Hills practice is straightforward — and more thorough than what most patients have experienced elsewhere.
Here’s a clear picture of what you can expect from the moment you walk in.
Step 1: A Detailed History Review
Your consultation begins with a comprehensive review of your medical history. Dr. Wiener takes time — real time — to understand your full picture before forming any opinion about treatment. This includes reviewing prior injuries and how they were treated, any imaging studies you’ve had (X-rays, MRI, CT scans), your surgical history, current and past medications, and how long you’ve been dealing with your current pain.
This step matters more than most patients expect. Because Prolozone® Therapy works by targeting the specific structural source of your pain, understanding your history is essential for identifying where to treat and whether Prolozone® is appropriate for your condition at all.
Step 2: A Hands-On Physical Examination
After reviewing your history, Dr. Wiener performs a thorough physical examination. This isn’t a brief check — it’s a detailed musculoskeletal assessment designed to identify instability, areas of inflammation, range-of-motion limitations, and structural weakness that may not show up clearly on imaging.
Many patients find this examination more revealing than any test they’ve had before. Because Dr. Wiener is specifically trained to identify the structural sources of chronic pain — including ligament laxity and joint instability that often goes unrecognized in standard clinical evaluations — the exam often provides clarity about why the pain has persisted.
Step 3: An Honest Assessment of Your Options
Based on your history and examination, Dr. Wiener will tell you directly whether Prolozone® Therapy is the right fit for your condition. If it is, he’ll outline a personalized treatment schedule — how many sessions are likely, how they’ll be spaced, and what results are realistic given the specifics of your situation. If Prolozone® isn’t the right fit, he’ll tell you that too and discuss what options make more sense.
There are no high-pressure recommendations at this practice. The goal is to give you accurate information so you can make a well-informed decision.
What Happens During a Treatment Session
If you proceed with treatment, each Prolozone® session is performed entirely in the office and typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes. No anesthesia is required. A precise combination of medical-grade ozone and anti-inflammatory nutrients is injected directly into the damaged tissue area identified during your evaluation.
Most patients tolerate the procedure very well. You may feel mild pressure or brief discomfort at the injection site, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated and doesn’t require recovery time. The majority of patients return to normal activity the same day.
Aftercare and Follow-Up
Following your treatment, Dr. Wiener may recommend briefly avoiding strenuous activity, staying well hydrated, and following specific mobility guidance depending on the area treated. Mild soreness at the injection site is normal and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
Follow-up visits allow Dr. Wiener to assess your progress and adjust treatment as needed. Because Prolozone® works by stimulating the body’s own repair processes, improvement is typically progressive — each session builds on the last as the tissue continues to heal.
