A Smarter Approach to Low Back Pain Relief

Low back pain shows up across every age group, but it tends to dig in deeper over time. Gravity is a big part of why. As Dr. Brian Formolo explains, “Gravity takes a toll where the joints have more wear and tear on them than when you’re younger. So it’s sort of the stress of life that kind of builds over time.” Years of standing, lifting, and moving all leave their mark. By the time pain becomes impossible to ignore, there is often a much longer history behind it.

A Thorough Exam, a Clear Picture

When a patient comes to Oak Creek Relief & Wellness with low back pain, that first visit is built around understanding the whole person, not just the complaint. Dr. Brian assesses posture, joint function, and ranges of motion to find where the body is carrying more load than it should.

Treatment Built Around You

Care at our practice is never a one-size-fits-all formula. Depending on the patient, Dr. Brian may use spinal roller therapy, interferential current, chiropractic adjustments, and postural remodeling through targeted exercises. For longer-standing or more complex pain, laser therapy and spinal decompression are also available. Every plan is shaped around what the individual actually needs.

A Patient Story Worth Sharing

A Spanish-speaking waitress came to our practice with low back pain severe enough to threaten her ability to work. Long shifts had become genuinely difficult, and she was worried about her income. From her first visit, we made sure she felt comfortable and understood by communicating with her in Spanish throughout her care. This helped her clearly explain her symptoms, concerns, and goals, and better understand her care plan.

After a thorough exam and X-rays, Dr. Brian built a treatment plan around her condition and the physical demands of her job. Within just a few visits, her pain had dropped significantly. She went back to work stronger, more comfortable, and without the limitations that had been holding her back.
