Dr. Oliver and his staff have been extraordinary! They genuinely care about everyone that walks through their door and they treat everyone as family. I have only been going to him for about a month and I can already feel the benefits of his care. Dr. Oliver is very knowledgeable and has earned my trust to repair my broken down body. I cannot recommend his practice enough! Definitely a hidden gem in the city.
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.

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.
Dr. Oliver and his staff are the best! I am greeted by name. Dr. Oliver is the best there is. He is caring, he is honest at setting expectations and he is very knowledgeable. His approach is let’s get you better for life and not a quick fix. I did see improvement within the first couple of weeks after years of pain. I know I’m with the right doctor. I have numerous family and friends who come to Dr. Oliver because he is best and the proof is in the positive results we all have. The staff is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The office is nicely decorated with a comfortable welcoming atmosphere. The office is very clean.
Doctor Oliver and his staff are wonderful! I would recommend him to everyone.
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.
First visit for cronic, acute back pain. Dr. Oliver was able to determine the root cause of the pain which, I must say, other doctors I’ve seen hadn’t even attempted to find.
I have spondylolesthesis (a forward shifting of a vertebrae) which allows diminished mobility and flexibility because of the level of constant pain. Yes, the shift caused discs to rupture and touch a nerve. The nerve (being only the transmitting link to the brain for feeling) however, goes to something else telling the nerve what to feel.
That “something else” is the CAUSE of the pain. In my case, it is a specific muscle attached to the spine.
Dr. Oliver and his team at Comprehensive Chiropractic and Physical Therapy are so awesome!! I have nothing but great things to say about him and his staff. He has helped me in my recovery with my sciatic nerve pain and the reshaping of my spine and has me feeling great again. The staff is wonderful and super helpful and very friendly. They take the time to ask how are you doing and will answer any and all questions you may have. Choosing Dr. Oliver was one of the best decision’s I’ve have ever made, he put together a plan in place in helping me with my recovery. I highly recommend going to Comprehensive Chiropractic and Physical Therapy they helped me and they will definitely help you in your recovery as well.
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.
