QC Kinetix is dedicated to helping patients recover from injuries and avoid surgery by offering regenerative orthopedic therapies that help heal bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons.
We treat joint pain related to arthritis, sports injuries, and age-related wear. Patients throughout Aurora and the greater Denver metro turn to our regenerative medicine treatments for faster recovery and a more active lifestyle.
Regenerative medicine focuses on the body’s natural ability to heal itself. With PRP and cellular therapies, we help patients recover through minimally invasive procedures, avoiding the pain, scarring, and lengthy downtime associated with surgery.
Colorado’s active outdoor lifestyle puts real demands on joints and soft tissue. Knee injuries from skiing, hiking, and sports such as tennis, pickleball and golf are among the most common conditions we treat – and one of the most common reasons patients explore non-surgical pain treatments before committing to surgery.

Many patients throughout Aurora and the greater Denver metro explore PRP and BMAC as part of a non-surgical approach to joint and soft-tissue pain. Potential benefits include:
Many patients report improved mobility and reduced discomfort after treatment, though individual results vary and depend on the condition being treated.

PRP and BMAC are generally considered minimally invasive options for patients exploring non-surgical alternatives to joint and soft-tissue pain. Because both treatments use materials collected from your own body, the risk of rejection or allergic reaction is lower than with many other medical procedures.
Most patients experience only mild, short-lived reactions at the injection site, such as soreness, swelling, or bruising, which typically resolve within a few days. Some patients also report brief, mild fatigue as the body adjusts.
Serious complications, such as infection or nerve irritation, are rare, particularly when treatments are performed by trained providers who follow proper screening and sterile protocols. Before beginning treatment, our team reviews your medical history and current health status to help determine which approach is appropriate for you.

FAQs About Our Clinic
There is no flat price, because your plan is built around the area being treated, the treatments your provider recommends, and the number of visits you need. A knee, for example, may call for a different plan than a shoulder. You will hear the cost of your plan at your consultation, before you decide anything. These treatments are typically paid out of pocket, and payment plans are available.
Yes, payment plans are available in Aurora with approved credit. We work with Cherry, a third-party financing provider, and you can prequalify online before you come in. If you plan to use a health savings account (HSA) or flexible spending account (FSA), check with your plan administrator first, since eligibility depends on your plan’s rules. The lender sets approval, rates, and terms, which vary by applicant. Our team can go over your options at your consultation.
Usually not. PRP and BMAC are typically paid out of pocket and are not covered by most commercial plans or Medicare, which often consider them elective.. Plans differ, so a quick call to your insurer can confirm your coverage. If you want to talk through costs and payment options first.
That depends on you. Your provider sets the plan with you based on the area treated, how long you have had pain, your goals, and your health history. People respond differently, and how long results last varies from person to person. We cannot promise a timeline or a specific outcome. Individual results vary.
Cortisone shots, gel injections such as hyaluronic acid, medications, and surgery are all common options, and some people look at non-surgical choices before deciding on surgery. PRP and BMAC use components from your own body, are non-surgical, and do not require general anesthesia. They are designed to target the source of pain and support the body’s natural healing processes. Your provider will explain which approach may fit your situation. Individual results vary.
Age alone does not decide it. Patients must be 18 or older, and candidacy depends on your overall health and the source of your pain. Your provider decides after reviewing your history and exam. 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.
