Northwest Regenerative Orthopedics

NWRegen is a regenerative and interventional medicine clinic specializing in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), hypermobility spectrum disorders, and dysautonomia-related pain and instability. Led by Dr. Ryan Wood—dual-trained (ND, DC) and RMSK-certified in diagnostic and interventional musculoskeletal ultrasound—the clinic provides highly targeted injection-based treatments designed to stabilize, calm, and restore function in complex connective tissue patients. Core Services Ultrasound-guided orthobiologic procedures: PRP, prolotherapy, and stem-cell–based injections for ligament and capsular stabilization Perineural & nerve hydrodissection: Greater/lesser occipital, auriculotemporal, and cranial nerve–adjacent applications for pain and sensory hypersensitivity Cervical and cranio-cervical stabilization protocols for patients with mechanical brainstem irritation, occipital neuralgia, or cervical instability Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB): A cornerstone therapy at NWRegen for dysautonomia, trauma-related hyperarousal, and chronic sympathetic overdrive Clinical Focus Dr. Wood’s approach blends precision imaging with a deep understanding of connective tissue and autonomic physiology. Treatment is individualized, aiming to reduce neurologic overactivation, enhance joint stability, and improve functional tolerance without overloading fragile tissues. Many patients report improvements in sleep, thermal regulation, and anxiety after SGB and stabilization protocols.

OHSU in Portland has an EDS referral process and cardiac programs that serve connective tissue disorder patients. Yellow Brick Clinic near Seattle, Washington is the nearest EDS Society Center of Excellence. Oregon has expanded EPSDT (Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment) coverage for genetic services, which benefits younger patients on Medicaid.
