Explore physician-led Prolozone Therapy for back, joint and musculoskeletal pain with Sharon D. Minott, MD at Michigan Interventional Pain Associates.
Persistent pain can affect sleep, mobility, work, exercise and the activities you enjoy. If previous approaches have not provided the improvement you hoped for, a physician evaluation can help determine whether Prolozone Therapy or another pain-management option may be appropriate.
Prolozone Therapy is an injection-based treatment approach that uses medical ozone or oxygen together with selected supportive ingredients. MIPA presents the therapy as an option for certain acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions.
Rather than assuming one treatment is right for every patient, Dr. Minott begins with a clinical evaluation, reviews previous care, considers the likely source of pain, and develops a treatment recommendation based on the individual.
An in-office treatment option that may be considered before or instead of more invasive care when clinically appropriate.
A treatment pathway that does not rely on opioid pain medication.
Treatment is directed toward the painful or injured area identified during evaluation.
Treatment is performed in the office, with recovery guidance tailored to the patient and procedure.
Prolozone Therapy is one possible tool within a broader physician-led pain-management plan.
MIPA discusses Prolozone Therapy for a range of musculoskeletal pain conditions. The right choice depends on your diagnosis, medical history, symptoms and physician evaluation.
Not every diagnosis is treated the same way. A comprehensive evaluation is necessary to determine whether Prolozone Therapy is appropriate for your condition.
Schedule an EvaluationThe goal is not to fit every patient into the same treatment. It is to understand the condition first, then select the right next step.
Request a ConsultationDr. Minott reviews your symptoms, health history, previous treatments and how pain is affecting your daily life.
The likely pain generator and relevant anatomy are considered before an individualized treatment approach is developed.
If you are a candidate, the selected area is treated using the physician's Prolozone protocol.
Follow-up helps evaluate response and determine whether another treatment, a different interval or another pain-management approach is appropriate.
Treatment recommendations, number of treatments, recovery and outcomes vary by patient.
