QC Kinetix lawsuit overview: 

  • Who: QC Kinetix, Regenerative Health of Champaign, Med-Den Funding and Security First Bank face a class action lawsuit. 
  • Why: Consumers allege the companies work together to falsely promote medical treatments and engage in fraudulent financing conduct.
  • Where: The QC Kinetix lawsuit was filed in federal court in Illinois.

QC Kinetix, Regenerative Health of Champaign, Med-Den Funding and Security First Bank face a class action lawsuit claiming they work together to falsely promote medical treatments and engage in fraudulent conduct when financing medical agreements.

QC Kinetix pressures potential patients seeking information on treatments into upsales of services and financing through Med-Den Funding and Security First Bank, the lawsuit claims.

Lead Plaintiff Dawn Robertson alleges she explored QC Kinetix treatments and, at her first appointment, the company pressured her into signing up for $20,000 in services that began immediately and which Med-Den Funding and Security First Bank financed. Robertson described the interaction as a high-pressure sales presentation from employee Tawny Dychet.

“Ms. Dyche told plaintiff that in order to get the ‘absolute best results’ she should treat both hips and both shoulders, even though she was not having pain on both sides,” the QC Kinetix class action says. 

“Plaintiff was skeptical but Ms. Dyche kept telling Plaintiff how QC Kinetix was doing great things. Ms. Dyche stated that the cost for one joint was $8,000 but that any others agreed to on that date would be half price ($4,000); however, if plaintiff signed up for one joint and sought further treatments later she would have to pay full price for the latter.”

Patients don’t know QC Kinetix treatments aren’t FDA-approved, lawsuit says

After her first two treatments, Robertson reported severe shoulder pain that kept her up at night, claiming she never experienced shoulder pain before the treatments. QC Kinetix encouraged her to continue the treatments, according to the lawsuit.

QC Kenetix did not tell Robertson the treatments were not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and did not give proper loan cancellation procedure notice as prescribed by the Federal Trade Commission, the lawsuit claims. 

Colgate, Taco Bell, Pacific Coast Producers, Tesla, A&W, Keurig Dr Pepper, Curaleaf, DreamCloud and Inventure Foods all faced false advertising class action lawsuits last year.

    Had multiple treatments at WC kinetics in Augusta Ga.Left knee was treated .Never saw an actual physician.Treatment cost 8600.Results were bill

  2. Joe Riley says:

    My wife tried this therapy nearly $9000 later with no results. After much research I have discovered this treatment will not work on advanced Hip Arthritis. How can they do this therapy with no xrays?
    Update: Now their commercials state bring in your own xrays or other diagnosis documentation and they base the treatment on that. Still pissed off we got ripped off. Never should have taken our money knowingly, these injections would not do anything to mature arthritis. That’s $9000 dollars for nothing! Too boot, they shift you to another company for payment for paying it off. Used bad car dealership practices in my relatives opinions. Ask yourself first, when I go to the dentist, they take xrays to see whats wrong with your teeth. This Place QC Kinetix say come on in tell what hurts. Then, oh yes this will work no problem we have a payment plan and your off to races thinking pain gone problem solved. I wish I was at my wife’s side when she went thru this. And I am the ass that suggested it based on Tom Martino’s show stating it worked. I called Martino’s show switchboard (an advertiser for QC Kinetics) and got blown off. Obviously not letting this go. $9000 is alot of dough. A 54 year old women was limping like quassi moto for months after this lack of medical scrutiny, I spoke with her hip surgeon, great surgeon, straight up expert in his field. Stated, what they did could not have touched anything regarding pain but most importantly the advanced condition. Just want my money back.

  3. Julie Teeples says:

    I ws pressured into th treatments, being told without it my pain would lead to medication, then shots and surgery which does’nt work. Total cost for 5 treatments $8500. Would not give me a breakdown of treatment costs. Told me they can finance it. Office assistant held my phone showing me where to initial the loan acceptance documents saying “..let’s get it done”. Took me 2 months to obtain copies of lender disclosures to see what I signed. I received 1 treatment on the 1st initial visit after loan approval. I cancelled within several days. QC Kinetics would not give me a breakdown of treatments. Lender ProceedsFinance, funded the loan, QC immedistely received their money. Upon cancelling I was told they need to charge me for the initial treatment. QC then submitted the lender a bill for $7200 for my plasma shot and laser knee warming! The total for 1 treatment is approx. 500 to 700% that the average nationwide cost for such treatments! Lender wants their money, I get no refund, QC Kinetix won’t cooperate or respond to any of my letters or calls. I’ve been scammed. QC works with ProceedFinance/Security First Bank. This needs to stop.

    I am going find an attorney and sue for misleading me and Malpractice among other things . Also the so called doctor is Chiropractor ! stay away from the snake oil they take your money for. TRUELY A SCAM

  7. Karmen Williams says:

    I was pressured into purchasing the treatment from QC Kinetix. They never looked at an x-rag to see that my knee was too damaged for the treatment to work.

  8. C Collins says:

    Reading this now. Wasted an hour there yesterday, and walked out due to their unethical sales pitch. I requested a written offer, detailing the treatment plan/ steps. Instead, she wanted to convince me to pay $8000 / 1 joint plus $4000 right on the spot. Offered financing immediately – which was not the reason for my rejection, unethical sales practices were.
    Should have read this before.
