Chronic Pain.. is such a ... pain.

Pain changes the way you move through the world.

For many people, it’s not loud or dramatic—it’s quiet, constant, and woven into daily life. It’s the sore back when you wake up. The tight shoulders that never quite release. The aching joints, the stiff hands, the muscles that feel heavy and tired before the day even begins.

Pain is something I have first hand experience with, I've spent many of the last 35 years of my life dealing with chronic pain. It's funny, sometimes it almost feels shameful to me to admit that I live in pain daily. Sometimes my tolerance is better than other times- however, I've learned to create a life in which I can still function. In 2023, I got into a car accident that seemed minor, but left a lasting impression on my neck. While I had previous issues, I developed occipital neuralgia which I deal with to this day. I've done massage, chiropractic care, and more but the only thing that seems to help is every 4-8 weeks I get a nerve block injection. How do I manage in between? I use my sore and achy muscle be gone magnesium cream (and yeah I need to come up with a new name that isn't such a mouthful!). 

When I created our Pain Stick and Sore & Achy Muscle Be Gone Magnesium Cream, I wasn’t thinking about “miracle cures” or quick fixes. I was thinking about people. Real people who are just trying to get through their day with a little more comfort and a little less tension. I wanted people to have options if they couldn't get to their doctor and get their script refilled, maybe insurance ran out, or maybe they couldn't get a nerve block like me. I was thinking about parents who maybe have no business functioning through the pain they are dealing with but there are little mouths to feed that are waiting on them. 

Why These Products Exist

At HBC Organics, everything we make begins with a question:

“What do people actually need?”

These two products were created for those who live with chronic soreness, inflammation, overworked muscles, and stress that settles into the body. For the folks who’ve tried everything and just want something gentle, effective, and made with care.

Pain doesn’t look the same for everyone—so neither should relief.

The Pain Stick: Simple, Targeted, Intentional

The Pain Stick was designed to be easy to reach for, easy to apply, and easy to keep nearby. It’s a no-mess, targeted option for sore spots—neck, shoulders, knees, wrists, temples, or anywhere your body is holding tension.

It’s made to be rubbed in slowly, intentionally. Not rushed. Not aggressive. Just enough to remind your body that relief is possible, even if it’s small and even if it’s temporary. We have had people who stand on their feet all day use this stick. Its compact, east to take with you wherever you go. Men and women alike (honestly the men seem to love the stick the most).

Sometimes that moment of relief is everything.

Sore & Achy Muscle Be Gone Magnesium Cream

Magnesium is one of those minerals our bodies desperately need—but many of us are deficient without even realizing it. Stress, poor sleep, physical labor, emotional strain… all of it depletes magnesium.

Our Sore & Achy Muscle Be Gone Magnesium Cream was created to support the body where it hurts most. Applied topically, magnesium can help relax tense muscles, ease soreness, and support recovery—without being harsh or overwhelming.

This cream was made for:

• People who wake up stiff and sore

• Those who work with their hands or bodies every day

• Anyone whose muscles feel tired, tight, or inflamed

• Those who need comfort at the end of a long day

• Anyone who deals with chronic stress

Did you know that Fibromyalgia is starting to get classified as a stress induced pain disorder? If you are dealing with high stress, whether it is physical, mental, or emotional stress, your body burns through magnesium rather quickly.

It’s nourishing, grounding, and meant to be part of a routine—not just a reaction.

More Than Products — A Reminder

These products aren’t about “pushing through” pain.

They’re about listening to your body.
About slowing down.
About offering yourself care instead of criticism.

Living with pain can be isolating. It can feel like your body is working against you. My hope is that when you use these products, you feel seen—and reminded that your discomfort matters.

They were created with intention, compassion, and respect for those who live with pain every single day.

Because you deserve relief that’s made thoughtfully.
And you deserve care that doesn’t cut corners.

These items would not be available in my shop if I didn't use them regularly and many people didn't use them. Family, friends, customers alike have found sweet relief or at least took the edge of with these items. If you're on the fence, we are happy to hopefully get you off the fence and giving it a try!
