Over a month ago, I was referred to Dr. Oliver by a friend. One thing I liked right away is that Dr. Oliver made me no promises but instead stated the possibilities based on past patient results. After the consultation X-rays were taken to determine the scope of my problem and the extent of my treatment. To date after 4 weeks of treatment I am no longer suffering from chronic low back pain and my quality of life has significantly increased. As I age, maintenance and stretching will continue to be necessary but I am so much better off avoiding surgery. Thank you Dr. O
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (Electrotherapy)
Electrical Muscle Stimulation: Dr. Charles Oliver provides electrical muscle stimulation to patients in San Antonia Texas and the surrounding areas. Electric muscle stimulation is a physical rehabilitation therapy modality that is used to stimulate muscle contractions using electrodes hooked up to an electric stimulation machine at our facility. These contractions help to control pain, manage inflammation and strengthen the muscle.
The electrodes are placed on the effected areas of the patient’s body, typically around the neck, back, shoulder, knee, ankle or wrist. The therapist will then adjust the controls of the machine until the patient feels a prickly sensation and is able to comfortably target the level of stim without burning, stinging or feeling a stabbing sensation. The stimulation will increase circulation and reduce swelling thereby reducing pain sensations.
Benefits of Electrotherapy
- Alleviate Pain
- Increase Range of Motion
- Decrease Atrophy
- Muscle Relaxation & Increased Bloodflow
- Re-education of Muscles
- Acceleration of Healing

Dr. Oliver is one of the top two doctors I have ever visited with. Today was my first visit at his clinic and all I can say is WOW!! The office and Dr. Oliver really take the time to explain everything to you and make sure to maintain communication amongst each other. Dr. Oliver is a very intelligent, compassionate, understanding, and yet a caring doctor. You can definitely tell his number one priority is to help you feel better. I feel very fortunate to have found an office like his and look forward to getting better.
First visit. So far so good. Dr was very direct on what he could to and could not do. Told him my main concern was cost, he said he understood and could work with me. Front desk staff very friendly. Took me on a brief tour, offered water and was concerned of my needs. For a first visit I would say it was a excellent experience.
I am so thankful to Dr. Oliver and his wonderful staff for the lifegiving care I have received at Comprehensive Chiropractic. I was referred to Dr. Oliver by my PC physician as she believed that issues with my neck were contributing to a host of problems including neck stiffness and immobility, problems with sinus drainage, headache, and difficulty sleeping. After a simple, but careful screening, Dr. Oliver helped me to set goals for my healing, and within a couple visits, I was already seeing results. It is very important to me to work with practitioners who can help me discover and treat the root causes of my dis-ease, and this is exactly what Dr. Oliver helped me to do. My headaches and sinus issues are gone, and my sleep has greatly improved which has been key to improving my health all around and regulating my nervous system. As an added bonus, careful and skilled adjustments made to my spine and my hips have eliminated my wrist, elbow and hip pain completely as well! I am continuing to work to improve the curvature of neck so that these issues do not return, and to ensure that my brain can effectively communicate with all the different systems in my body. I have received chiropractic care in the past, but no one has been as effective and efficient as Dr. Oliver. I really appreciate the compassion he has shown me. He is easy to talk to and a great listener! His staff are such kind, attentive and happy people! They ALL make Comprehensive Chiropractic the perfect place to find healing!
Let me just tell you about the best medical experience I have ever had. I went to Dr. Oliver for a specific problem after a failed attempt at chiropractic care in another office. He and his staff listened to me and offered me treatment plans to improve not only my back but my overall health. I didn’t know how bad I’d been feeling until I began to feel better! They take great lengths to offer personalized care and really get to know their patients. I would highly recommend this office, Dr. Oliver and his staff for any ailments you may be having.
Dr. Oliver and his team at Comprehensive Chiropractic are amazing. Dr. Oliver has a lot of experience and provides you with the knowledge and skills for a healthier, new you! Not only does his practice offer chiropractic care, but they also offer physical therapy and laser treatments as well. I highly recommend Dr. Oliver for all your chiropractic needs as he has helped me tremendously during my visits there. He and his staff are very friendly and welcoming and I highly recommend that you give them a try!
I highly recommend this office! I started seeing Dr. Oliver after a car accident and I have never experienced a chiropractor who did more than a simple adjustment. Dr. Oliver incorporates stretching and other treatments in addition to the adjustment with each session. He takes the time to build a specialized treatment plan for each of his patients. It has been so helpful. I am also very impressed with his staff. They are super efficient, personable, and a joy to see with each visit.
Dr. Oliver and his staff are very professional and knowledgeable. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and helpful. I love my visits with him…it is stress free and very organized. So wonderful to see such a compassionate group of people taking care of patients who really need the help. I am in medicine and I can tell you your experience with this office will be a rare one in San Antonio. I definitely recommend this office for your chiropractic needs.
10/10 I am constantly recommending comprehensive chiropractic to all my friends and family – everyone here is so kind and welcoming. The staff is always upbeat and greets everyone by name. Dr. Oliver is so skilled and knowledgeable! I was led here after I was in a car accident a few months back and the improvement I’ve seen in my pain has been amazing! I will continue to be a patient for as long as they will have me – if you are looking for a chiropractor this is the place to be. Thank you so much to Dr. Oliver and his team, I truly appreciate everything.
I originally found Dr. Oliver when I was looking for someone to help me with ongoing foot issues. As a marching band director I had been referred to a podiatrist and told that I might be looking at surgery. I wasn’t convinced and wanted to try dealing with any underlying issues first so I went looking for a chiropractor who was also a physical therapist. I was convinced that spinal alignment was part of the issue and that the podiatrist would send me to PT first.
When I met with Dr. Oliver and he evaluated my issue he was very honest that he had not treated this particular issue before and that he was willing to work through a course of treatment to get my hip issues straightened out and work on my feet at the same time and see what we could do. That course of treatment was successful and I went on my merry way very happy to have avoided surgery.
Three years later I’m back and addressing a different set of issues that I have been ignoring for a long time. By the time I got to Dr. Oliver I was in so much pain that I was struggling to do my job. Dr. Oliver not only evaluated my structural condition but my overall nutrition and health. He laid out a plan for treatment that addressed not just the underlying structural issues but also helped me to identify the nutritional issues and other health issues that I need to be addressing. We’re well into my treatment plan and I can honestly say that I feel better than I have in years. I’m committed to doing what I need to to feel better and so thankful to find Dr. Oliver and his staff!
