Since its foundation in 2017, QC Kinetix has treated more than 35,000 patients for joint pain across the country. More than 850 of those were treated right here in the Twin Cities. We cut the ribbon here in 2022, and now offer five joint pain clinics in Burnsville, Chanhassen, Fridley, Maple Grove and Maplewood.

Why has QC Kinetix treated so many for arthritis, joint disease, sports injuries, work injuries, and more? It’s not just because our regenerative medicine is drug-free and surgery-free. It’s not just because it requires zero recovery time, either. It’s also because it works – plain and simple! 

One of our greatest rewards for treating joint pain are the glowing reviews our patients write for us. They show that we’re really accomplishing what we set out to achieve, and illustrate the many ways our regenerative medicine stands out from the rest. We’d like to share some of those reviews and our thoughts on them with you!

“Before I went to QC my only option was surgery. I had my final treatment today and I am 95 percent pain free in my shoulder!!! I believe with some physical therapy I can get mobility where I want. I’m 58 years old, I worked landscape construction and in the nursery for 26 years. I thought I would be in pain the rest of my life. What a great decision it was to make this financial decision. I have my life back! Thank you QC Kinetix!!!!!!”

– C.K., Twin Cities QC Kinetix Patient

“If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." That particular psychological concept, known as “Maslow's hammer,” explains why doctors are often so quick to recommend surgery for orthopedic conditions. It certainly doesn’t help that hospitals are under enormous pressure to keep their surgery centers filled with paying patients.

If you’re like C.K. and “earned” your joint pain over the course of a long and physically taxing career, then you may be in enormous discomfort right now. Don’t assume that the treatment for your condition must be proportionately large. A surprisingly undramatic series of quick injections may be all you need in order to feel as good as you did during your first day on the job!

“I had been experiencing long term pain in my hip joint and received treatment with PRP injections. I still have two boosters to receive, but after the initial 4 injections, my hip is about 80% better and I have much more mobility and range without experiencing pain. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a more conservative approach that works! Just have patience as it was not an immediate fix for me.”

– E.G., Twin Cities QC Kinetix Patient

E.G. touches on an important point: regenerative medicine takes time. Some patients do report almost immediate improvement, however, with many more noting reduced pain and inflammation within a few weeks of receiving their first treatment. Significant improvement in function and reduction of symptoms typically take longer, with three to six months being reasonable. 

It’s also not uncommon for improvements to manifest up to two years after completion of the treatment program. E.G. has an excellent chance of recovering the remaining 20%!

“I want to thank the whole team at QC Kinetix. What a wonderful group of professionals. Like most of their customers, I heard about them on the radio. My right shoulder was giving me a lot of pain after slipping on some oil and jamming my shoulder when I fell. I went to my regular doctor complaining of throbbing pain. I couldn't sleep on that side and was getting poor sleep because of the pain. Did the normal X-rays and confirmed some injury. I was told to set up an appointment with their surgeon. I decided not to do this and am sooooo glad I didn't. I just took the last painless injection and am back at doing all my normal routines.

“One of the best health decisions of my life! Thanks again and please look at this treatment: no cutting, no hospital time. Win-win!”

– R.H., Twin Cities QC Kinetix Patient

According to a study by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 38.5% of emergency department consultations for orthopedic injuries are inaccurate. The same study reports that misdiagnoses had “a significant impact on management” in roughly three out of four cases.

All of that is to say that there’s a good chance R.H.’s doctor was mistaken when they recommended surgery. You could easily argue they were, because QC Kinetix was able to restore comfort and pain to R.H.’s shoulder without making a single incision.

“I have been suffering from neck pain that radiates up the back of my head for almost 30 years. Sometimes the pain is so bad it almost makes me sick. My neck is filled with arthritis and bone degenerative disease. After completing the treatments at QC Kinetics, my headaches are almost gone. I still have some pain, but not severe, and not on a daily basis. This is the best gift I could ever have given myself.”

– K.S., Twin Cities QC Kinetix Patient

K.S. tells a touching story, albeit not an unusual one. We frequently welcome patients who have grown accustomed to chronic pain over the course of several decades. Many of them treat regenerative medicine like a last resort, and are amazed (if not a little horrified) to discover that they really ought to have tried it first. 

A month. A year. A decade. It doesn’t matter how long your pain has lasted. We can make it go away, and we only need substances that are already inside your body to do it!

Are you ready to take your life back from pain? Then we hope to make you our newest success story. Reach out today to book your FREE consultation at any of QC Kinetix’s five Twin Cities locations!
