Fourth of July Office Closure 🇺🇸:
Our office will be closed Friday, July 3rd in observance of Independence Day.

Weight is rarely about willpower alone. Thyroid, insulin resistance, sleep, and certain medications all push in the wrong direction, and a primary care team that knows you is built to find them. We start with labs and history, build the plan around nutrition and lifestyle, and add medication when it earns its place. Then we monitor and adjust, the same way we would any other part of your health.

One question we hear constantly: Do you prescribe GLP-1 for weight management?

Yes, we do! At Trinova Medical, we understand that effective weight management often requires a multi-faceted approach. As part of your comprehensive primary care, our experienced providers evaluate your individual health needs, lifestyle, and medical history to determine if GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro) are a safe and appropriate option for you.

Real support. Real results. Real primary care.

What Primary Care can do for you?
Most people wait until something is wrong to see a doctor. Primary care works better the other way around.

One practice, one team that knows your history, and one place to handle most of what life throws at your health.

*Annual physicals, *diabetes care, *thyroid disorders, *weight-loss management, *cancer screenings, even the unglamorous stuff like *sinus infections, *stomach bugs, and *ear wax removal...

The point isn't that we do a lot. It's that YOU don't have to figure out where to go every time something comes up. You just call your doctor.

If you've been meaning to find a primary care home in Pensacola, consider this your SIGN!!

When does back pain need an MRI?
Short answer: most of the time, it doesn't.
But some signs change everything, and knowing them matters.

Most back pain is muscular. That sharp pain after lifting, twisting, or sleeping wrong? It almost always clears up in 2 to 4 weeks with movement, heat, and time. Morning stiffness that loosens after 30 minutes of moving around is normal too.

In these cases, an MRI usually finds nothing helpful, and sometimes finds something random that leads to extra appointments you didn't need.

Here's when to pay attention:
* Numbness, tingling, or weakness running down your leg (especially below the knee) → time to get imaging.
** New loss of bowel or bladder control → this is NOT an MRI appointment. Go to the ER, right now.

Not sure which category you're in? Give us a call. We'll help you figure it out. (850) 848-9500
