I was going to a chiopractor who used biofreeze and i think that was the only good thing that he did or used. i have gone to several stores to purchase some and i can not find it. I have seen a couple of post here and on other boards from people who use this and I was wondering if some one could tell me where they buy it. I have seen it on ebay and on the net, but i would rather buy it in a store to avoid shipping and handling charges. thanks to anyone who can help me.

Dimarie on the thoracic outlet forum uses it - I'm pretty sure- or something very similar.
I know with Amazon usually if you buy 25.00 or more no shipping charges. Did chiro try any low level laser, ultrasound, infrared light, NIMMO or IF stim?? mine uses many of these therapies for my TOS, RSI, CMP ect. links and info on the TOS forum stickys http://forums.braintalk2.org/showthread.php?t=84 and a thread- http://forums.braintalk2.org/showthread.php?t=3337 |

Yes, Biofreeze is great. I buy a couple tubes of it from my chiropractor as he always seems to run out. As far as I know, you cannot buy it on their site. Not usually from pharmacies, etc. Sports stores and other such places may have it. My chiropractor also uses ultrasound heat which is great.

I got a couple of small free samples from my P.T. and I was amazed at how well it works. It seems to only be camphor, or something like it, but it does take the pain away, at least temporarily. It's better than nothing.

I get mine from my massage therapist. She always gives me a good deal. I think you'll normally find it in a medical type setting for sure. I love mine. I keep my Biofreeze AND my Tiger Balm on my night stand right next to my bed. Tiger Balm is still at the top of my list, but since it's a strong odor, I use Biofreeze when I don't want to walk around annoying people with a bengay type smell.
