    June 2026 BACC Expo

    This episode is a behind-the-scenes recording session for the Bridgeton Area Chamber of Commerce Virtual Expo series, produced by the Bridgeton Beacon. It is not the polished Virtual Expo. These are highlights from the fun/casual recording session where local businesses record focused segments that will later become stand-alone Virtual Expo videos with transcripts, articles, and highlights. Audit Your Google Business Authority: https://audit.local.visible.info/ This program is built around specific, non-generic, authority-building content. Instead of asking businesses to broadly describe themselves, the series focuses on real customer questions, needs, and problems so each segment is more useful, more memorable, and more likely to work across search, summaries, social, and evergreen chamber content.

Each finished segment is designed to support: - YouTube publishing - transcript-based articles - highlight clips for social media - chamber website promotion - participant media kits and reuse on their own channels Program support and links Bridgeton Beacon https://BridgetonBeacon.com Visible.info https://Visible.info FAQ What is this episode? This is the recording session, not the finished Virtual Expo. What will the finished Virtual Expo be? A collection of edited, focused business videos with transcripts, articles, and highlights published across chamber and Beacon channels. Why are these presentations focused on one topic? Because specific content is more useful than general business promotion. It shows expertise more clearly and creates stronger long-term digital assets. Why might the hosts interrupt or ask someone to try again? Because the session is a production process. The goal is to shape the strongest final segment, not just capture an unstructured conversation. How can businesses join a future Virtual Expo session? Reach out through Bridgeton Beacon or the Chamber and come prepared with one specific customer problem, topic, or question your business can explain clearly.

    It's Sore Back Season! Let's talk about avoiding surgery..

    Are chiropractic “cracks” really necessary—or can gentle, modern techniques get you better results without the fear factor? In this episode of the Bridgeton Beacon, attorney and host Meg McCormick Hoerner sits down with Joe Falcone, Regional Marketing Director for Rise Chiropractic of South Jersey, to demystify what today’s chiropractic care actually looks like. Joe shares how Rise Chiropractic, founded by Dr. Shane Becker, has grown from a single Maple Shade office into a practice serving South Jersey and Bucks County, PA, with a mission to build the healthiest community possible. You’ll hear how they use detailed evaluations, nerve scans, and x‑rays to look at the entire nervous system—not just a sore neck or low back—before building a personalized care plan. They dive into how Rise helps: Weekend warriors, golfers, student athletes, and teachers who spend all day on their feet Kids, teens, pregnant moms (using the Webster technique), and seniors into their 90s Patients who are nervous about traditional “twist and crack” adjustments, using gentle torque release and instrument‑assisted care Joe and Meg also break down peripheral neuropathy in plain English—what it is, why it often starts in the spine, and how a non‑surgical, drug‑free protocol can help people struggling with numbness, burning, tingling, and balance issues in their hands and feet. If you’ve ever been told that surgery or more medication are your only options, this conversation offers a hopeful alternative. Whether you’ve never seen a chiropractor, had a bad experience in the past, or you’re just chiropractic‑curious, this episode gives you a clear, stigma‑free look at how modern chiropractic can fit into a long‑term health plan. ⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Meet Joe Falcone and Rise Chiropractic of South Jersey02:30 – Who they help: athletes, teachers, and weekend warriors06:30 – From pediatrics to patients in their 90s (plus pregnancy care)09:10 – Peripheral neuropathy explained and non‑surgical options13:10 – Torque Release Technique vs. “traditional” chiropractic21:10 – Office hours, first‑visit expectations, and patient education24:25 – Community events and how to meet the team in person 📍 Rise Chiropractic of South Jersey300 South Linola Road, Maple Shade Township, NJ (Kingsway Plaza, near the Moorestown Mall, right off Routes 38 and 73)Phone: 856‑492‑6936Website: 🎧 Work with our chiro marketing partnersIf you’re a chiropractor or you run multi‑location chiropractic offices, check out: afterinjuries.com visible.info We help chiropractors become the cited local expert for their most important case types, get found in the map pack, and show up in AI summaries.
