## Story

Alabama natives and local entrepreneurs Jeff Cooke and Dennis Daughety opened the first QC Kinetix location in the state June 2, and have plans to open three more clinics in the next year and a half so the entire community will have easy access to treatment.

QC Kinetix uses all-natural biologic protocols to stimulate the body to repair or heal its own damaged tissues and joints. It’s an alternative to surgery, NSAIDs, and pain pills that mask the pain but don’t repair the problem. For patients seeking relief from pain due to musculoskeletal injury, chronic joint pain, or hip, knee, or shoulder pain, regenerative procedures are the next frontier for treatment.

“I am excited to bring the QC Kinetix brand to Alabama, and specifically to the Birmingham area where I grew up,” says Cooke. “I am very impressed with their track record of assisting patients with pain relief without the use of surgery. Our treatment program will prevent or delay surgery for many patients and really improve their quality of life. I am thrilled to be offering these cutting-edge treatments to my community.”

Justin Crowell, CEO of Charlotte-based QC Kinetix, is confident Jeff Cooke will be a tremendous asset to the QC Kinetix franchise.

“Jeff Cooke is an ideal QC Kinetix franchisee,” says Crowell. “He has an impressive marketing background and an entrepreneurial spirit that can’t be stopped. He’s been in the Birmingham community his entire life so he knows the community well, and I am confident he will thrive as the newest member of the QC Kinetix family. We are thrilled to have him on our team.”

The QC Kinetix business model is a type of concierge medicine. There is no haggling with insurance companies. Patients pay cash and get a very high level of care and service with state-of-the-art treatments. Every patient receives quality time with their medical provider and a customized plan of treatment based on their individual diagnosis and condition.

“There’s a large population of people dealing with chronic pain in their joints,” says Cooke. “Knowing that we can provide a viable solution that doesn’t require invasive surgery is what attracted me to this incredible company. The Birmingham area needs this.”
