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.

24 thoughts onQC Kinetix class action alleges company makes false, misleading statements about treatments
I visited the Winston Salem, NC office in October 2023 and was told by Dennis the PA there that I was a very good candidate for the injections. I had my last injection on February 21, 2024 I am so much worse and started injections in October 2023. I cannot even wear dress shoes any more. They pressured me into signing 18 month interest free financing for 10,000.00 dollars. I asked repeatedly about the pain and how much worse the pain was and at times unbearable. Since the last visit there are times I can’t even walk. On initial visit I told them all I wanted to do was get back to walking six miles a day and now I can’t even walk one half mile. I too was not even offered the signed documents, even though I asked for them and was told they would make copies and give them to me on .my next visit in two weeks. Never saw them or the financial agreement.
