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.
Biofreeze 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.

Sometimes things aren’t as they seem. So it is with the body. Your feet (and balance) could be the cause of your back pain, knee pain or leg pain. Why?
Your body is an interconnected system of specialized parts, and the support structure which holds everything together is made up of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
Even if your feet don’t hurt, they may be contributing to your overall postural balance. If you’re having pain or discomfort in a specific area of your body— anywhere from your feet to your neck— custom-made orthotics may help bring you long-term relief.
(And by the way, I have a pair and have another on order. ) Find out more about Custom Orthotics at Gasport Chiropractic, where you can get your custom fitting for your orthotics.
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?
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.

Information about your health courtesy Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness, Gasport, NY.
At Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness, we use a chiropractic spinal analysis and adjusting technique called “Torque Release Technique.”
Here is some information is to allow you to better understand the basis for this technique and how it affects your body.
Torque release bases its technique on gentle touch and light thrusting by hand or instrument. This low-force adjusting method allows the nervous system to better integrate and understand the new corrective information and to process it throughout the spinal cord and brain.
Your spinal corrections do not stop once you get off the table. They continue as you breath and move. You may notice that you hear a click or popping sound in your spine later on the same day after the torque release adjustment. That’s your body realigning and correcting its own subluxations.
Torque release teaches and empowers your body to make more corrections and healing with ongoing care. Because analysis and correction are not limited to just the area of pain and symptom, integration tends to be more complete and healing experiences are deeper in all areas of the body, mind, and emotions.
Torque Release releases tensions on the spinal cord by correcting subluxations of spinal segments intimately connected with the meninges or attachments of the spinal cord. It leads to profound neurological changes that benefit everyone – no matter what symptom or level of health they are currently experiencing.
The primary intent of Torque Release Technique is to progressively reduce blockages and tension of the entire spinal system, to release trapped unresolved patterns in the body/mind, and to facilitate reintegration of the nervous system, allowing a greater expression of one’s healing and performance capabilities.

At Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness, 4437 Main Street in Gasport, we believe that your health is your most valuable possession. Our approach to health and wellness is two-fold: relief care and wellness care.
What is relief care?
When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:
Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem and suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible.
We also offer ways patients can participate in their recovery and we explain the value of post-symptomatic wellness care.
What is wellness care?
We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our patients abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.
Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness has been providing quality chiropractic care in Niagara County since 2006 and our office is now open 6 days a week.
Call us at (716) 772-2200 to find out more about how you can take advantage of all that chiropractic has to offer.

Yes, that sounds like Austin Powers-like stuff, but it is the use of a unique analgesic to relieve pain. It is greaseless, stainless and has a vanishing scent. And it’s NOT available in retail stores.
Biofreeze was developed by a botanical chemist, Dr. Danne King, from an herbal extract from a South American herbal shrub. Applied topically, it relieves sore muscles, back, neck and shoulder pain, arthritis symptoms, painful ankle, knee, hip and elbow joint pain and muscular strains.
Have questions about Biofreeze? Call Dr. Aaron Pazik at Gasport Chiropractic to find out more and to purchase Biofreeze. You can also ask about how chiropractic can help you deal with any of the above conditions that are causing your pain.

Imagine how you felt the last time you were in a hot tub. The warmth of the water relaxed you and the pressure of the water jets against your body soothed your aches and pains. Now imagine feeling this way without undressing or getting wet. That’s what our hydromassage tables feel like. Just lie back, set the timer and within ten minutes you will achieve a state of total relaxation.
Physiologic Effects of Radiant Heat
- Analgesic—This effect is the most frequent indication for the application of heat. Current thought suggests this effect is related to the gate control theory of pain modulation.
- Antispasmodic—Heat is generally considered to produce a relaxation effect and reduction in muscle guarding. It also increases the elasticity of connective tissue which is an important consideration in treatment of post acute strains and sprains, and after long periods of immobilization.
- Decongestive—Increased capillary blood flow is important in the treatment of many types of injury because it causes an increase in the supply of oxygen and other necessary nutrients and enzymes in addition to an increased clearing of metabolites.
- Sedative—Heat helps decrease spasticity, tenderness and spasm.
- Local vasodilation—Increases local metabolic rate (increased healing rate) and resultant additional heat.

What Should You Expect on Your First Visit at Gasport Chiropractic?
At Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness, PC our examinations procedures are geared toward detection and correction of the “Vertebral Subluxation”. The procedures we use are therefore specifically selected for your spine and nervous system health. There are a couple of things that you should expect when you have a first visit at our clinic. Here is a brief overview below, and for more information you can visit our website.
Our Examination consists of a thorough spinal and nervous system exam which includes “Palpation”. Palpation essentially is checking your spine by hand. With this exam the doctor can feel areas of your spine that may be involved with subluxations problems. Spinal position, curvatures and muscle tone can also be examined as it relates to possible spinal subluxations.
Your examination will also include a computerized examination called the “Insight Millennium Subluxation Examination.” This examination involves several important components.
The first part of this examination process involves reading spinal heat differences from one level of the spine to another, as well as from one side of the spine to the other. Heat is a by product of circulation, which is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. From this we can see how subluxation may be affecting these functions of your nervous system.
In the second part of this examination the Insight Millennium Subluxation Examination scans the surface of your spinal area for surface electrical impulses, and measures them along your spine. This helps measure the affect of subluxation on the motor nerve system and the affect subluxations may be having on your muscles.
Digital foot scans will be done on each patient using the Associate Platinum™ scanner from FootLevelers, it is a scanner that lets chiropractors examine your feet and each foot’s three arches, then show you a color photo of your feet where your may have issues that could affect the rest of your body. From the digital foot scan any areas of abnormal pressure can be seen which could show an imbalanced distribution of weight between the feet indicating a fatigue of one of the three arches in the foot.
Spinal X-rays may be taken depending on your age, and situation. There are many reasons why we would not take x-rays on certain patients including pregnancy, most children, recent usable spinal x-rays and some other various situations. Aside from these situations, x-rays are a common part of the examination process when looking for vertebral subluxations.
You will be scheduled for your Report of Findings within a few days of your initial visit. This visit is your most important visit and may take up to one hour. It is at your Report of Findings that we will give you a care plan and go over any special instructions you will need to obtain the best and fastest possible results. We have set aside specific times for these visits so as not to interfere with regular patient care hours. Our staff will schedule your Report of Findings with you after your first visit.

Optimal levels of vitamin D may help to reduce the occurrence of frailty in the elderly.
Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness carries NutraMetrix brand vitamins. Call us to learn more about the benefits of this quality line of vitamins and supplements.
Research has proven there is a clear link between vitamin D blood levels and several health related conditions. Unfortunately this research has failed to discover a clear understanding of what is or isn’t the optimal level of vitamin D necessary to achieve and retain good health.
A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (December 2010), measured plasma levels of vitamin D and assessed frailty status in 4551 elderly women approximately 69 years of age. Results of testing showed vitamin D levels between 20 ng/ml – 30 ng/ml appeared to provide optimal protection against the development of frailty. Levels below or above this range were associated with an increased risk for frailty, with the lowest levels offering the greatest risk.
Get your vitamins online through our website at Gasport Chiropractic & Wellness! Discover how easy it is to order your supplements online. And just call our staff at (716) 772-2200 if you need further information.
Researchers pointed out that the number of women whose vitamin D status exceeded 30 ng/ml was relatively small and so further research is necessary to give a better understanding of how higher vitamin D levels affect the body.

People often ask how long healing from an injury, surgery or when people come for a chiropractic treatment. That depends on many factors.
Your Age – healing potential diminishes with age. Generally, younger people get quicker results.

You may have read a lot in the medical news about all the new and wonderful research that has been done with Vitamin D. But what is vitamin D? How can it help you? Should you be taking a vitamin D supplement?
Vitamin D is actually not a vitamin at all. It’s a hormone that your body makes when the skin is exposed to sunlight. After about 20 minutes of full sun exposure, your body converts the sunlight to about 2000 IUs (international units) of vitamin D.
With Fall approaching fast, our busy schedules, and the dangers of too much sun exposure, taking a vitamin D supplement might be a good way to make sure you are getting enough.
But why take vitamin D? You have probably heard that you need vitamin D to regulate the calcium levels in your blood and bones. But did you know that there are studies linking low vitamin D levels to multiple sclerosis and many different cancers?
Osteoporosis can be a scary diagnosis. It refers to having decreased bone density with can lead to weak bones and the possibility of fracture. This condition usually affects women. The National Osteoporosis Foundation suggests that adults under 50 take 400 to 800 IU daily and if you are over 50, take 800 to 1000 IU of vitamin D to help prevent this condition.
Multiple Sclerosis(MS) prevalence is higher in northern climates then it is at lower latitudes. Western New York happens to be a hot spot for this disease. Studies have shown a link between patients that get MS and low levels of vitamin D.
Since vitamin D also plays a role in regulating the immune system, it is easy to connect the dots to see why people who live in areas that do not always have a lot of sun get MS. Studies have not shown that low vitamin D levels means you will end up with MS, but they do show a strong association between the disease and vitamin D levels.
This disease also affects more of us women then it does men. Possible reasons for this is that men often spend more time outdoors and when they are outside they are less covered up and are not wearing make-up or lotions that contain sunscreen.
Low vitamin D levels are now being linked to HIV and many cancers. Ground breaking research on vitamin D is currently being conducted at our own Roswell Park Cancer Institute. The link between cancer and vitamin D is that vitamin D plays a role in cell differentiation and proliferation. Differentiation and proliferation are just a medical way of saying that it helps the cells mature to do what they are supposed to do and they grow at a normal rate. Cancer is just the opposite of that. Cancer cells are mutated and often immature cells that grow at a rapid rate creating tumors.
How do you know if you need to up your intake of vitamin D? Well, if you are taking a multivitamin, you are already getting about 400IU a day. According to Roswell Park, 400IU is not a dose that can change your blood levels. The amount in a multivitamin is what the government set as the standard to prevent diseases like rickets.
If you really want to know what your level is the standard is a simple blood test that can be done with all your other blood work. The 25 hydroxyvitamin D test will give you your level and it should be between 30 and 100. If it is low, talk to your doctor about how much you should be taking to increase it.
Keep in mind that there is such a principle as too much of a good thing. While it is hard to over dose on vitamin D taking too much can alter the amount of calcium circulating in your blood and hurt your kidneys.
Vitamin D has many far reaching effects that are not yet fully understood. Vitamin D is also speculated to be related to heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
A paper published in January in the journal of Medical Hypotheses, takes a reflective look at the link between gestational diabetes, fetal development and high blood pressure during pregnancy. Making sure you have normal vitamin D levels is an easy step towards wellness. Be proactive with the health of yourself and your family.
