QC Kinetix is dedicated to helping patients recover from injuries and avoid surgery by offering regenerative orthopedic treatments that can help heal bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons.
We treat joint pain related to arthritis, sports injuries, and age-related wear. Patients throughout North Colorado Springs and the surrounding area turn to our pain management clinic for faster recovery and a return to the activities they love.
Regenerative medicine focuses on the body’s natural ability to heal itself. With PRP and cellular therapy, we help patients recover through minimally invasive procedures, avoiding the scarring, risks, and extended downtime that come with surgery.
North Colorado Springs sits at the doorstep of some of Colorado’s best skiing, hiking, and trail running. Knee and back injuries from these activities are among the most common conditions we treat, and many patients come to us specifically looking for a non-surgical alternative before committing to an operation.

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy uses growth factors concentrated from your own blood and injected into the affected area. It’s commonly used for knee pain treatment, back pain, tendon injuries, and arthritis – promoting natural tissue repair without surgery or significant downtime.
Cellular therapy uses regenerative cells, sourced from your own body, to support healing in damaged joints and soft tissue. It’s a common option for knee pain, degenerative disc conditions, and joint injuries where cartilage or tissue has broken down.
Traditional pain management often involves steroid injections, long-term medication, or surgery. Our approach targets the source of pain using your body’s own biology with minimal downtime and no general anesthesia. For active patients in North Colorado Springs, that often means returning to skiing, hiking, or daily activity far sooner than a surgical recovery would allow.
