QC Kinetix uses regenerative treatments to mean joint care that starts with a blood draw or marrow taken from bone. The medical provider examines your joint first. You'll hear what the procedure involves. One blood choice is PRP, or platelet-rich plasma. The clinic spins your blood to gather platelets, then places the plasma in your joint. Concentrated PRP also calls for drawing and spinning blood. Natural pain treatments and joint preservation are broad clinic terms. Ask which exact procedure each term means. They may include choices before knee or hip surgery. ## Which symptoms need hospital care? Fever with a hot joint needs quick help. Don't drive to a routine office visit.
