Many of your patients may have already bought a topical pain relief cream from their local drugstore; or they may have been using one before they came for treatment. But with so many different types and brands of creams in the marketplace, how would they know which is best suited to their needs?

The truth is, they don't. Remember, as a clinician, you're the expert here!

Why not make these products easily available to patients at your clinic? This will allow you the opportunity to educate them on brands you feel are the safest and most effective for their symptoms. 

Biofreeze is an over-the-counter topical analgesic commonly used to reduce the pain and minor aches of sore muscles and joints associated with simple backache, arthritis, strains, sprains and contusions. The active ingredient in Biofreeze Professional (spray or roll-on) is menthol (not as a scent), which will temporarily alleviate pain locally on the body through its cooling effect. Biofreeze has been sold as an effective analgesic formula through healthcare providers (physical therapists, chiropractors, etc.) since 1991. Biofreeze is generally considered safe, when applied up to 4 times a day for its intended use, as recommended by the FDA¹ 

I’ve identified 5 reasons why Biofreeze is a Top-Seller at Physiotherapy and Chiropractic clinics. And where you can buy biofreeze online at the best prices in Canada. 

With owning a physiotherapy, a chiropractic or massage therapy clinic, there are many demands placed upon you from every direction, business and patients alike. If you’re not careful, you can find yourself falling short in both arenas.

If you’re not careful you can see the business functions decline, and you can also find that your attention to patient treatment is not as passionate or thorough as it once was, leading to lack of patient satisfaction and eventual loss of business. As you can imagine, it’s not an ideal position to find yourself in.

In my role as the chair of private practice division at the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, and as a practice advisor for a physical therapy group of 20 clinics, I’ve seen many clinic owners over the years succeed and fail. I understand that it’s a challenge to treat patients and attain a healthy income for your practice. But it is possible.
