Healthcare expenses are growing at an unsustainable rate—far outpacing inflation and employee wage growth. Self-insured employers continue to feel the growing financial pressure of orthopedic care. Joint-related concerns are among the most common and most expensive claims
Key challenges facing self-insured employers:
$15,000 to $120,000
Weeks to months off work for recovery, depending on the body part affected
Weeks to months of PT, depending on the body part affected
Tens of thousands of dollars
For decades, orthopedic care has followed a predictable path: imaging, medications, physical therapy, and ultimately surgery. While surgery can be appropriate in some cases, it has too often become the default—driving higher costs and longer recovery than many employees expect.
Today, employers and patients are rethinking that model. A growing shift toward non-surgical options, like those offered by QC Kinetix, that focus on improving comfort, mobility, and function first, helping reduce downtime while better aligning employee well-being with cost control.
QC Kinetix offers self-insured employers a non-surgical, drug-free option that is considered a first-line solution for common orthopedic concerns.
