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.

FAQs About Our Clinic
At QC Kinetix, the cost depends on your plan rather than a set price list. Your provider considers the area being treated, which treatments are recommended, and how many visits you need. You will review the cost with our North Colorado Springs team after your consultation and exam. Treatments are typically paid out of pocket, and payment plans are available.
Payment plans are available with approved credit, including financing through Cherry, a third-party provider. You can prequalify online ahead of your first visit. HSA and FSA eligibility depends on your specific plan, so ask your plan administrator before you book. Terms, rates, and approval come from the lender and vary by applicant. We are happy to walk through your options during your consultation.
In most cases, no. PRP and BMAC are typically paid out of pocket, since most commercial insurers and Medicare generally do not cover them. Coverage varies by plan, so confirm with your insurer if you want to be sure. Our team can explain costs and payment options during your consultation.
Plans are individualized, so the answer depends on the area treated, your pain, your goals, and your health history. Your provider will explain what to expect at your consultation. Responses vary from person to person, and we cannot promise how long results will last. Individual results vary.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is made by collecting a small sample of your blood and concentrating the platelets, which contain growth factors, then injecting the concentrate into the area where you feel pain. BMAC (bone marrow aspirate concentrate) is collected from your own bone marrow and contains living cells, growth factors, and proteins that may help decrease inflammation and support joint and soft tissue health. Both are minimally invasive and non-surgical, and your provider recommends one or a combination. Individual results vary.
Patients must be 18 or older. Beyond age, your provider looks at your overall health and the source of your pain. Treatment may not be appropriate if you are pregnant or nursing, have active cancer or a compromised immune system, are receiving chemotherapy or radiation, have kidney failure requiring dialysis, or have pain associated with a total joint replacement. If you are unsure, please call before booking.
Treatment involves an injection, and some patients feel temporary soreness, swelling, or bruising at the site. Recovery guidance is individualized, so your provider will explain when to resume activity for your plan, and we cannot give one timeline for everyone. Your provider also reviews your medical history first to confirm treatment may be appropriate. Individual results vary.

Bring any imaging, such as an MRI or X-ray, and records from other Colorado Springs providers so tests are not repeated unnecessarily. We also welcome second opinions.
