Repair and Restore with QC Kinetix

By Daniel Sucherman, MD

The noise of chronic pain can relentlessly invade everyday activities. It’s a loud, unwelcome voice when we’re trying to sleep, when we rise from bed, and when we attempt to shower or dress. It complicates our ability to commit to social and recreational activities ahead of time, not knowing how we’ll feel when the time comes. The natural response to pain is to recoil from it, and when the source is internal, it can cause significant anguish for those unable to find retreat.

The Body Heals Itself
Often, in speaking with patients, chronic pain equates to a loss of functionality, independence and quality of life. Small aches and pains or periods of stiffness are expected as we progress through life, but when pain becomes pervasive and takes over, it becomes time to prioritize yourself so you can repair and restore what you’ve lost. Classically, management of pain has been largely symptom-based and has led to widespread use of pain medication, temporary fixes like steroids, or even surgery, but newer better options do exist to alleviate the symptoms of degenerative conditions and chronic injuries. In particular, we can harness and enhance the natural capabilities of the body to heal itself.

Michael’s Bad Back
Michael is a recent success story from one of our clinics in the Tampa Bay region. He arrived at our clinic wearing a brace and using a cane to walk after a long history of low back pain. His MRI showed bulging, herniated discs, facet joint osteoarthritis in his lumbar spine, and sacroiliac (SI) joint arthritis. Surgeons told him his only option was to permanently fuse most of his back with metal screws and rods which would have left him with limited mobility. Even after that, they told him he still had a chance of Failed Back Syndrome and a lifetime of terrible chronic pain.

Michael Finds QC Kinetix
Michael chose to get a free second opinion from QC Kinetix. His comprehensive exam with the medical team included reviewing his imaging, going over the details of his complete history, performing a targeted physical exam, and utilizing live ultrasound to examine his soft tissue. Michael learned that he was a candidate for regenerative medicine and began a custom 6-month treatment protocol the same day.

Finally Pain-Free
After undergoing treatments at QC Kinetix, he recently returned to our clinic for a follow-up visit, walking without a brace or cane, excitedly sharing how he had traveled home for the Thanksgiving holiday and received many comments from family about how well he was moving.

Patients like Michael are common for us at QC Kinetix, and we see them get better each day using products derived from their own blood and bone marrow.

How Regenerative Medicine Works
When we injure parts of our body with good blood flow (think about biting your tongue, for instance), the body remains capable, throughout the lifespan, of sending healing factors to the damaged tissue in a choreographed manner so that the injury can be resolved. Most of the chronic pains that we see involve body tissues that receive poor blood flow and so they cannot heal as fast as they are damaged (think of aging joints or the ligaments that hold our bones together). When we capture these healing factors, process them same-day in our in-office lab and inject them into the injured area, we provide the body the ingredients it needs to heal its own injury.
