Rewiring Recovery: How Sigma Q and Kinotek Are Transforming
Movement Health in Chicago
Published: July 7, 2025
At the Sigma Q Clinic in Chicago, cutting-edge recovery meets clinical precision. Led by Dr. Patrick Labelle, a sports chiropractor with over a decade of experience blending functional neurology with movement health, and Jake Camp, a performance strategist with a background in sports marketing and athlete development, the clinic integrates neurological reactivation, movement screening, and real-time performance feedback—all in the name of helping people move, heal, and perform better.
With roots in elite sports and expansion into the broader wellness world, Sigma Q is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in recovery and movement health. And at the center of that transformation are two powerful tools: Sigma Q neurotherapy and Kinotek movement assessments.

Restoring Movement at the Neurological Level
Dr. Labelle describes Sigma Q as more than a therapy—it’s a reprogramming of the nervous system.
The tech stimulates deep nerve endings, mimicking signals the brain sends to restore proper reflex loops and movement patterns.
“It’s not about just making muscles contract—it’s about making sure your brain perceives those movements correctly again,” he explains. “When those reflex loops are rebalanced, everything else—chiro, rehab, bodywork—works better.”
This process is especially critical for people recovering from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions where normal movement patterns have been suppressed or distorted. Whether it's helping a marathon runner bounce back or reigniting dormant quad activation post-ACL surgery, Sigma Q reawakens what the brain has forgotten.
A Technology Built on Decades of Research
Originally developed in the late ’80s and refined through the early 2000s, Sigma Q now exists in two forms:
Neurotherapy Spa (full-body immersion with heat, jets, and signal delivery)
Dry System (portable wands and water-based hand/foot applications)
It’s used by teams like the Chicago Blackhawks, Buffalo Bills, and Wisconsin Badgers, and now by performance facilities across the country. In Chicago, it’s central to the Sigma Q Clinic’s unique treatment model.

Real Patients, Real Results
From elite athletes to everyday movers, the outcomes speak for themselves:
A marathon runner walks in sore and limping, walks out doing high knees on the sidewalk.
An NBA prospect regains post-ACL quad activation—and books a second session within 24 hours.
A man with frozen shoulder regains range and becomes a long-term client after seeing his own progress onscreen.
“You don’t have to wait three or four visits to feel it,” says Dr. Labelle. “The first treatment hits.”
Enter Kinotek: From Feeling Better to Seeing Better
While Sigma Q creates deep neurological change, Kinotek gives it visible proof.
Used during nearly every new patient evaluation, Kinotek captures objective movement data and transforms it into full-color, digestible reports.
“It’s not just about saying ‘You’re improving,’” says Dr. Labelle. “We can show them exactly how. That creates trust, buy-in, and better compliance.”
The combination is powerful: Sigma Q resets the nervous system, Kinotek captures the change. That dual impact is especially valuable when:
Tracking long-term progress (e.g., frozen shoulder, adrenal fatigue)
Communicating clearly with patients
Submitting documentation for insurance or legal cases
“It makes our job easier,” he adds. “It communicates more effectively than I ever could with just words.”

Built to Scale: Seamless Integration into Practice
From a clinic operations perspective, Kinotek isn’t just impactful—it’s efficient.
Quick to run
Easy to explain
Seamlessly integrates into initial intakes
Copy/paste metrics directly into EMR notes
“It’s a no-brainer,” Jake Camp adds. “It doesn’t slow down our workflow—it elevates it.”
And the tech helps clinics like Sigma Q stay on the cutting edge. Instead of traditional goniometers or subjective measures, Kinotek delivers high-tech visual insights with zero added burden.
The Loop That Drives Business: Show, Prove, Rebook
Every time a patient sees their own improvement—visually, undeniably—it reinforces the clinic’s value. That’s what creates a positive feedback loop:
Deliver results
Show the proof
Earn trust
Drive return visits and referrals
“You’re not just treating pain—you’re showing potential,” Jake says. “Patients see where they’re headed, not just where they’ve been.”
Final Thoughts
Sigma Q and Kinotek represent two sides of the same coin: change and clarity.
Together, they offer not only faster recovery and neurological reset—but also a new level of patient communication, data integrity, and operational efficiency.
Whether you’re rehabbing post-surgery, chasing performance gains, or managing long-term dysfunction, this pairing proves what’s possible when cutting-edge tech meets clinical expertise.
Quick Recap: What We Learned from Sigma Q Clinic
Sigma Q technology resets reflex loops and restores the brain’s ability to send accurate movement signals.
Used for everything from elite athlete recovery to neurological conditions like ALS.
Available in two formats: full-body neurotherapy spa and portable dry system.
Clinics like Sigma Q in Chicago are seeing instant patient feedback and massive buy-in.
Kinotek complements the process with clear, objective reports on movement health.
Kinotek is used in almost every intake to measure baselines, track change, and guide care plans.
Results are measurable, visible, and easy to communicate with patients and insurance.
Seamless integration into daily workflow—adds zero friction, delivers major value.
The data drives faster documentation, stronger trust, and better business outcomes.
As Dr. Labelle puts it:
“It’s great for the patient. Great for the practitioner. And great for the system.”
