Pain, injury, and degeneration don’t always require the same solution.
Regenerative Medicine at Structural Elements® is designed to support the body’s natural healing processes through a thoughtful combination of advanced diagnostics, orthopedic evaluation, evidence-informed regenerative therapies, and personalized care planning. Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, our goal is to better understand the factors influencing pain, inflammation, tissue health, and recovery so treatment decisions are intentional, individualized, and connected to long-term orthopedic health
As part of our Orthopedic Wellness service line, Regenerative Medicine is fully integrated into the Structural Elements® system, connecting treatment, movement, recovery, and medical care to create a coordinated approach that supports healing and long-term function.
What is Regenerative Medicine?
Regenerative medicine is a rapidly evolving area of orthopedic care focused on supporting the body’s natural ability to heal, repair, and adapt.
Rather than simply treating symptoms, regenerative medicine combines comprehensive orthopedic evaluation with advanced diagnostics and evidence-informed medical therapies to better understand why healing has slowed and determine the most appropriate path forward for each individual.
Because no two patients are alike, every treatment recommendation is personalized and made within the context of your overall orthopedic health. Your care plan will always start with a comprehensive evaluation which includes the following:
- Orthopedic medical evaluation
- Review of prior imaging
- Advanced diagnostic imaging when appropriate
- Orthopedic laboratory and biomarker testing when appropriate
- Personalized treatment planning
And from there may include:
Injection Therapy
Treatment recommendations are based on your diagnosis, goals, and clinical presentation and may include:
- Platelet-Rich Plasma
- (PRP)PRP uses a concentrated portion of your own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors, to support the body’s natural healing response. It is commonly used for tendon injuries, ligament injuries, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions where tissue repair is desired.
- Alpha-2-Macroglobulin
- (A2M)A2M is a naturally occurring protein found in your blood that helps regulate enzymes involved in cartilage breakdown and inflammation. Concentrated A2M injections may be used to support joint preservation and help slow degenerative processes in certain patients.
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
- Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in healthy joints. When injected into a joint, it can improve lubrication, reduce friction, absorb shock, and help relieve pain associated with osteoarthritis while supporting joint function.
- Trigger Point Injections
- Trigger point injections are used to treat painful muscle knots and areas of chronic muscular tension. They can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore more normal muscle function.
- Corticosteroid Injections
- Corticosteroid injections can help reduce inflammation and provide pain relief for certain orthopedic conditions. While they are not considered regenerative therapies, they may be an appropriate part of an overall orthopedic treatment plan for carefully selected patients.
Additional Medical Therapies
Depending on your needs, your care plan may also include:
- Prescription medications
- Peptides*
- Peptides are naturally occurring chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules within the body. Certain peptides are being studied for their potential to support tissue repair, recovery, and healing. As research and regulatory guidance continue to evolve, peptide therapy may become an appropriate option for select patients.
- Exosome protocols*
- Exosomes are microscopic signaling particles released by cells that help coordinate communication throughout the body. They are being studied for their potential role in supporting tissue repair and regulating inflammation. As evidence and regulatory guidance continue to evolve, exosome therapy may become an option for carefully selected patients.
- Other Biologic Products - Wharton’s Jelly*
- Wharton’s Jelly is a naturally occurring connective tissue derived from the umbilical cord, rich in extracellular matrix proteins, hyaluronic acid, and growth factors. Supplied as an allograft product, it may be used to support the body’s natural repair environment in certain musculoskeletal and joint conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendon and labral tears, or sprains/strains.
- Collaboration with IV Therapy and other Orthopedic Wellness services
*As clinically appropriate and consistent with current regulatory guidance.
Why Choose Structural Elements®?
Many clinics offer regenerative injections.
We offer regenerative care.
At Structural Elements®, regenerative medicine is one part of a comprehensive orthopedic wellness system. Rather than asking patients to coordinate care between multiple providers and offices, our team collaborates under one roof to create continuity throughout your care.
Your regenerative medicine provider can communicate directly with your (se)® Treatment provider, IV Therapy nurse, movement specialist, or (se)® LAB team to ensure every recommendation builds upon the next. Structural findings, imaging, diagnostics, movement assessments, and recovery strategies all become part of one coordinated conversation instead of separate opinions delivered in isolation.
The result isn’t simply convenience.
It’s continuity of care.
And we believe that continuity creates better long-term outcomes.
Who Can Benefit?
Regenerative medicine may be appropriate for individuals experiencing:
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Sports injuries
- Chronic musculoskeletal pain
- Soft tissue injuries
- Degenerative orthopedic conditions
- Delayed healing
- Individuals looking to explore non-surgical treatment options
- Patients who have reached a plateau with orthopedic treatment, movement, or rehabilitation
The best way to determine whether regenerative medicine is appropriate for you is through a comprehensive orthopedic medical evaluation.
Your First Appointment
Your first visit begins with a Regenerative Medicine - Initial Assessment with Jodi Mayo, PA-C.
During your appointment, Jodi will:
- Review your medical history and current concerns
- Perform a comprehensive orthopedic evaluation
- Review existing imaging or recommend additional imaging if needed
- Discuss whether laboratory or biomarker testing may provide additional insight
- Determine whether injection therapies are appropriate
- Develop a personalized treatment plan based on your goals and clinical findings
If you’re already receiving care at Structural Elements®, Jodi will collaborate with your existing providers to ensure your regenerative medicine plan builds upon the progress you’ve already made. If you’re new to Structural Elements®, she’ll help determine whether additional services within our Orthopedic Wellness system—such as (se)® Treatment, Recovery & Performance services, IV Therapy, or movement-based care—could further support your goals and improve your overall outcome.
Not every patient needs regenerative therapies.
Sometimes another approach, or a combination of therapies, is the better option.
Our goal is to recommend the care that gives you the greatest opportunity to reduce pain, improve function, and support long-term orthopedic health.
