Myth: “No pain, no gain.”
Truth: Pain is your body’s alarm, not a goalpost.

Muscle burn from effort is one thing. Sharp joint or tendon pain? That’s a red flag. Don’t train through pain—train smarter to avoid overuse injuries.

to when Dr. Mead introduced the Nanoscope to Bay County.

Today, he’s still leading the way as the first field-trained orthopedic surgeon in the country to perform the arthroscopic MACI® procedure—using your own cells to repair cartilage damage in the knee with smaller incisions, less trauma, and a faster recovery.

World-class care, right here in the Panhandle.

That sore spot near your elbow? It could be tennis elbow—one of the most common overuse injuries Dr. Mead sees, especially in active adults. Pain often builds where the tendon attaches to the outside of the elbow, and it doesn’t take a racquet to trigger it.

Treatment might involve activity changes, bracing, guided steroid or PRP injections, or a combination. It all depends on what’s actually going on.

Let’s take a look. Call 850-771-2001.
