Aches? Pains? Biofreeze To The Rescue at Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness

When you have pain, nothing seems quite right. Aches and pains don’t have to keep y0u up at night and aching all day.

Give Biofreeze a try. 

Biofreeze was invented by a medical professional searching for a way to help his grandmother manage her arthritis pain. The formula he created consisted of the active ingredient menthol with a synergistic blend of inactive ingredients.

The resulting formula offered quick, effective pain relief without the use of prescription drugs. It’s easy to apply and begins to work instantly giving you relief on the spot.

Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness, Gasport NYBiofreeze products are providing relief to countless arthritis sufferers too. But the pain reliever’s unique, cooling formulation is also comforting to sore muscles and muscle sprains; easing back, shoulder and neck pain; reducing painful ankle, knee, hip and elbow joints and helping to lessen effects of muscular strains.

Biofreeze is available at Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness, 4437 Main Street in Gasport.

That’s where I get mine – and the gel tube comes with a neat and clean applicator sponge on it for easy application.

Call Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness at (716) 772-2200 to ask about Biofreeze and what other healing treatments might be available to relieve your pain or to prevent future problems.

What Is Cupping?

Points Acupuncture, Newfane NYIt’s probably not what you think!

Cupping is a form of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses a glass cup and a vacuum situation.

By applying a glass cup to the skin and creating a vacuum, it causes the skin to seal against the cup. The vacuum created draws blood and lymph to the area, promoting circulation and healing.

You can learn more about TCM and cupping at Points Acupuncture, 2658 N. Main Street in Newfane. Acupuncturist Stacy Austin would be glad to answer your questions and see how you could benefit from some forms of TCM at Points Acupuncture.

Achieve Perfect Zen (on at least your lips)

Woodman Farms Homemade Beeswax Lip Balms

Ah, the feel of perfect moisture and natural smoothness. That’s what you will feel when applying and wearing Woodman Farms homemade beeswax lipbalms.

Okay, maybe it’s not perfect Zen but it feels really good, and it’s not something that is priced out of this world like some other beeswax products that are out there in a yellow tube.

And not only are they available in healing and protective formulas, they are also in plain and in flavored formulas. Sarah, who makes the lip balms from her bees, tells me that the flavors change as she tries new things out  and coincide with whatever she might be baking. I have a plain and a strawberry Woodman Farms lip balm and I love them, and I love supporting a Niagara County business.

They are available at New England Seafood or NES store, 8401 Ridge Road in Gasport, NY 14067-9415 or at any of Woodman Farms shows.

(And coming sooner than you think…  Look for them at the Kenan Center’s Holiday Show and at any craft or vendor event announced on Niagara Buzz.)

When you order your kitchen to be just the way you want it to be, it must be because you didn’t get it out of a box at one of the big box stores.

Don’t try to fit one of the standard models in that funny corner – Maedl’s can make it so that it is meant for the funny little corner!

If you go to Maeld’s Woodcrafts, 33 Mechanic Street in Middleport, that’s exactly what you will find – and we can price out your kitchen and then you can compare it to what you will get at the box stores just to be sure we are not giving you a line.

Speaking of lines, you can have the major lines of hardware and counter top finishes to choose from too. We carry them all and you can choose what you would like for the look you have been dreaming of.

Homegrown Asparagus at Schwab’s Farm Market

Schwab's Farm Market, Gasport NYIt’s that time again – time for the delicious taste of homegrown vegetables. The season begins with asparagus and it’s picked and ready for you to pick up at Schwab’s Farm Market, 9035 Rochester Road in Gasport.

While this is just the beginning of the fresh and homegrown produce that we enjoy in WNY, you had better not miss it. Asparagus comes on early in the spring but it won’t last forever.

According to some experts, it also has some amazing health benefits. Yes, they say that asparagus can detoxify our system, has anti-aging functions, is considered an aphrodisiac, can protect against cancer, reduces pain and inflammation, can prevent osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, and reduces the risk of heart disease. So what’s not to love? (I am not sure if the big blob of butter I usually put on my has any effect on these benefits, however.)

So head over to Schwab’s Farm Market and enjoy your WNY veggies while they are fresh. And don’t forget that Schwab’s accepts Food Stamps.

Prom Season Doesn’t Have to Mean You’re Broke

Turning Email Marketing Into Sales

Summit Print Mail, Lockport NYEmail has become a part of our everyday interaction. You send a quick note out to friends, make sure that you send reminders about meetings and even communicate with people who are thousands of miles away. And although email has become the norm, that doesn’t mean we can forget about the power it has with generating leads for new customers. But if you’re going to use email effectively, you’ll need to go beyond your everyday email habits. Here are some ways you can go from a simple email to generating more leads for your company.

Know the Basics
Like any marketing endeavor, you need to know the goal of your efforts. Once you understand the purpose of your marketing email then you can determine your target audience. Now, jump in and create your content, including your subject line and call to action. Don’t forget to set a goal for your campaign and how you’re going to measure effectiveness. An easy way to see if prospects are responding to your email is through landing pages on your website so you can determine click through rates. Most email marketing programs also provide email open rates.

Subject to Creativity
Creating a good subject line to entice customers to open may be one of the more difficult aspects of an effective email campaign. And thanks to spammers, there are several words you’d like to use that you should avoid, such as “free” and “order now.” Some email marketing programs help rate your subject line before you send to check for those pesky spam words. So make sure your recipients see a subject line that lets them know what they’ll get out of opening the email, and be clear that the email is coming from you.

Find Clarity
Now that you have them enticed with an engaging subject line, don’t lose them as soon as they start reading. Quickly get them to a single call to action without droning on about product features. You can give them more detail on the landing page when they click through.

Aren’t All Vitamins the Same?

No, they are not, and here’s why. Not all vitamins are designed by health professionals. Not all vitamins are rapidly absorbed by the body using the most effective means of delivering the nutrients and minerals as possible. Why spend money on vitamins or supplements if they are not going to be absorbed and just pass through you?

Gasport Chiropractic, Gasport NY
The nutraMetrix line of advanced nutraceutical supplements, do deliver maximum results because they are absorbed by your body quickly and are simply the most effective means of delivering the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients the body because they are isotonic. Isotonic supplements are rapidly absorbed by the body for maximum results.

What are Isotonix? Isotonix® dietary supplements are a replica of the body’s own fluids such as tears, intravenous fluids, plasma and breast milk. All fluids in the human body have a certain concentration, which is called the osmotic pressure. The body’s common osmotic pressure — which is isotonic — allows a consistent maintenance of all body tissues. In order for a substance to be used in the body’s metabolism, it must be changed to the isotonic state.

There is a great deal more information about these products available online or by calling Gasport Chiropractic at 772-2200. You can also visit the Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness Niagara Business Buzz directory listing for more details.
