Dr. Charles Oliver of Comprehensive Chiropractic & Osteopathy
Dr. Charles Oliver
Dr. Charles Oliver earned his Master’s of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and qualified as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist by the American Physical Therapy Association Board of Physical Therapy Specialties several years later.
He owned his own physical therapy office in New Braunfels, Texas for five years before deciding to pursue his chiropractic degree. Dr. Oliver earned his Doctor of Chiropractic from Parker College of Chiropractic.
In his spare time, Dr. Oliver tries to live the healthy lifestyle he preaches to his patients. This means being as active as he can be, playing tennis with his youngest daughter, running sprints super fast (for a really old guy), lifting weights, and hiking with his wife.
Combining the Best of Both Disciplines
“I love physical therapy and I really enjoyed helping my patients” he says. “But the more I learned about how effective chiropractic was, I knew that I had to learn these techniques as well. That is when I started looking into chiropractic. I found that it gives me an exponentially greater number of tools to help my patients. Now I can use gentle chiropractic techniques along with physical therapy techniques. Together, this combination delivers truly amazing results.”
He Wrote the Book….
Dr. Oliver’s enthusiasm for helping patients motivated him to write a textbook on manual therapy. Manual therapy is the “hands-on” care provided by chiropractors, physical therapists, and osteopaths. “This book has been a passion of mine for some time. It is the combination of chiropractic and physical therapy; a subject that has never been covered before.”

Then I was referred to Dr. Oliver by my Primary Care Physician for IT Band pain (left hip down the leg). After the initial evaluation, he talked to me about the treatment and what to expect. After a few weeks of this treatment by him and his AMAZING staff of therapists, I was able to start lifting weights in the gym again and resume my regular strength training workouts!
I am now on a maintenance schedule with Dr. Oliver and his wonderful staff twice a month. I enjoy the happy and friendly atmosphere of his office and brag about him with everyone who needs Chiropractic care.

I thoroughly have enjoyed my experience at Comprehensive Chiropractic! They are extremely flexible with times which is helpful with my schedule. I have 3x a week visits and normally at any other facility it would be difficult to attend, however it is made simple. The front desk staff is super friendly and efficient! Dr. Oliver is knowledgeable and educates his patients through the healing journey.

I originally visited Integrative Medical for issues I was having with my back. After 3 sessions I felt the staff was just throwing me on a massage bed and had me do silly excericises similar to what I did in elementary school for stretches. I had explained my issues to a friend and she recommended me to try out Dr. Oliver. From the minute I walked in Dr. Oliver’s Office, I felt the staff seemed more professional. Dr. Oliver had up to date X-ray equipment that was more detailed oriented. He explained and showed more details to what was my problem with my back than what I got from Integrative Medical. Dr. Oliver would pop my neck and back into place, had me do more challenging excersises that actually strengthened my back, and had more state of the art equipment to treat people with. Needless to say, I left Integrative Medical to continue and complete my 30 sessions with Dr. Oliver. I felt more welcomed as well as more confident in what I was getting from Dr. Oliver than Integrative Medical. I would reccommend Dr. Oliver to any of my personal friends and family.

I can’t say enough about Dr Oliver and his staff. I was suffering from chronic low back pain and right hip pain when I first saw Dr. Oliver back in August. I could hardly move around or walk without terrible pain. After taking x-rays of the back and going over them with me, he came up with a multi-week treatment plan to help alleviate my discomfort and give me some relief. All I can say is, his treatment plan has worked wonders with my back and right hip. Within a few weeks, my pain level was way down and I was able to move around in ways that I had not done in months. I was able to walk more and do more around my home. I could get out and enjoy life again, something I had not enjoyed in quite some time. Now, several months after I started seeing him, I am still able to move more and enjoy minimum pain in my lower back and hip. Kudos to Dr. Oliver for all he has done to help give me some relief. I would also like to thank his staff. They are all so wonderful and caring. They treat me like family and make me feel welcome every time I walk in the door. I could not be more pleased with their support when I come in for a visit. I highly recommend you give Dr. Oliver a try if you are having pain issues. You won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Oliver and his staff are wonderful and extremely professional. I really appreciate that Dr. Oliver explains everything thoroughly and creates a treatment plan in order to get the best results. He also sets very realistic expectations as this is not a one and done type of practice. I also like having check-in sessions to see how I’m feeling and how my treatment can improve. I already feel so much better with their help and looking forward to continuing my treatment. I highly recommend them!

So I want to brag about Dr. Charles Oliver and his gang of merry men and women. They are an incredibly competent, genial and efficient organization. They are usually crowded. (Because they are good) but they make you feel like you are their most important client. My lower back was hurting so my primary doctor highly recommended Dr. Charles Oliver. After just a few visits using a few machines and the doc’s magic adjustments I am feeling much better.

This place is wonderful! The staff are just amazing! They greet me by name every time I come in, and you can tell that they enjoy their jobs aren’t just there for a paycheck. They are very helpful and patient, and they genuinely smile when they work with you. Also, the place is really clean and welcoming. Dr. Oliver is great as well! He’s very knowledgeable and personable. He has a great bedside manner and worked with me to customize a treatment plan that was tailored to me and my issues. All in all, this is a great place, and I highly recommend them!

Wow. Amazing place. Not just a chiropractor. It’s SPINAL REMODELING. Something I’ve been needing for years.
I also had a DRAMATIC reduction in my chronic headaches in only 3 visits! I’m speechless. I’ve been living with chronic headaches for over 4 years. I was tired of medication and injections. Dr. Oliver is not “doctor back cracker, have a nice day come back and see me next week and bring me more money and referrals, turning and burning patients”. He’s all about EDUCATING patients and establishing a unique and individual care plan using the most up to date best practices based on each patient’s specific needs.

I have been at Comprehensive Chiropractic for about 1 month. It has been a great experience. Dr. Oliver is wonderful and very thorough in assessing the problem, developing a treatment plan and executing the plan. He evaluates and re-evaluates to make sure each patient is progressing and pain is going away. The staff is kind and courteous and go above and beyond to make very visit smooth and productive. The facility is also amazing. This is my first time going to a chiropractor and it has completely exceeded my expectations. I recommend Comprehensive Chiropractic highly.
