Structural Elements®, an orthopedic wellness clinic and franchise redefining the standard of care in musculoskeletal health, announced that its equity crowdfunding campaign is trending in the “Most Traction” category on Republic.com, a leading platform for startup investing.

The campaign invites patients, community members, and investors alike to become shareholders in Structural Elements®, supporting the company’s mission to scale its innovative “whole-body engineering” approach to care. Early momentum has been strong, with investments from both individuals and seasoned investors driving visibility on the Republic platform.

“This campaign isn’t just about raising capital, it’s about building a community of owners who believe in better care,” said Doug Bertram, Founder and CEO of Structural Elements®. “We’ve seen firsthand the impact our clinics make in people’s lives, and with this raise, we’re expanding that reach to new markets across the country.”

Unlike many franchises that specialize in a single modality, Structural Elements® has built a “one stop shop” for wellness, offering a full suite of services under one roof. Patients have access to orthopedic care, movement therapy (including Pilates), recovery modalities such as cryotherapy, sauna, red light therapy, and PEMF, as well as IV therapy, longevity medicine, and more. This diversified model not only meets the broad needs of today’s wellness consumer but also positions the company to adapt with market and industry trends, ensuring long-term relevance and resilience.

Funds raised through the campaign will support the growth of the franchise system, accelerate new clinic openings, enhance provider training, and fuel continued innovation in orthopedic wellness. Existing clinics in Frederick, Hagerstown, and Milwaukee will play a central role in educating and supporting new locations as the brand expands.

The Republic campaign offers an accessible entry point for investors to join Structural Elements®, with investment minimums starting at $150. Investors receive equity ownership in the company, meaning they directly share in Structural Elements’ growth and success.
