I am nearing the end of my treatment regimen. With latest injection, had more pain than usual. The provider was very attentive, stopped and took different approach. Great listening skills and offered options that helped. Thank you!
I had a torn meniscus in one knee and some arthritis in both knees. I had the 5 step stem cell procedure done and I couldn't be happier with the results. The people at QC Kinetix were so informative and kind. There was minimal discomfort and recovery time after each injection. I am back to doing life and feeling great!
Last April things really went downhill and I had to use my cane all the time. By the end of May I was very unsteady on my feet even with my cane and begun to worry that I might start falling. I am 58. X-rays showed that I had arthritis and very little cartilage in my hips.
I went to QC Kenetics in June and started treatment that same month. Dec 13th was my last treatment. Since the end of September I started feeling less unsteady on my feet and by the middle of December, I started putting my cane down and forgetting where I left it. This is the second week of January and I’m planning on going to church for the first time in almost a year without my cane. I will probably continue to need it in the afternoon or when I’m really tired but that might only be for another month or two! I’m so thrilled and the staff was very kind & personable! Thank you, QC Kenetics!!!
Before I began the process, I was told I would need a double knee replacement. I may still, though, I am currently pain free and feeling like I can start to do more weight bearing activity and get back to movement. As a former competitive athlete, it was difficult to not be as mobile and now (while I’ll likely not be a weekend warrior) I feel like there’s hope.
I was a bit of a medical experiment in 2017 by using a PRP injection by Emory Orthopedics to eliminate osteoarthritis under my kneecap that caused significant pain while cycling for many years. A very talented local orthopedic doctor (that I highly respect) blamed the pain on something else that I was getting injections for for years, and did nothing. PRP/stem cell procedures were relatively unknown, I discovered it by a lot of independent research.
The PRP injection was successful and I have been pain-free since. My wife also suffered from hip pain (from her endurance cycling) caused by arthritis and stubborn soft tissue damage, and one year after my injection my wife got a stem cell injection in her hip and has been pain-free ever since. We both paid cash for the procedures.
QC Kinetix brought that procedure I had at Emory Orthopedics to mainstream, and I am taking injections now because of arthritis in my hands. I therefore recently walked into QC Kinetix without hesitation.
So far so good, the pain in most knuckles is gone, we are still working on the thumbs but the pain there is significantly reduced. I work with my hands, and my quality of life in aging is very important, so you have to weigh that against the cost.
