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.

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.

I have been a patient at Comprehensive Chiropractic for a few months . One of the best decisions I have made with respects to medical care. Dr. Oliver and his team are “top notch , friendly and attentive.” Highly pleased with my results !

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!

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.

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.

Dr. Oliver is awesome! I came to see him with a running injury, and after a few visits he had me running pain free again!

If I could give Dr. Charles Oliver and his staff more than 5 stars I definitely would! Dr. Oliver and his awesome staff are always welcoming, courteous and professional. I went to see Dr. Oliver for my poor posture, neck and back pain I’ve had for years. The treatment plan he has put in place for me has helped me tremendously. My pain has decreased and I can now sleep without pain.

I have had chronic headaches and neck pain since early childhood. I have been to 6 chiropractor’s in my life. Some gave me temporary relief of pain but they never took care of the underlying problem. In 2016, I learned about Dr. Oliver who is a Physical Therapist & a Chiropractor. I started going to see him and through his complete and thorough approach he is changing the curves in my spine. I rarely have a headache and only periodic neck pain when I haven’t done the exercises he taught me. I feel empowered that I can now do something to help myself! Recieving care from Dr. Oliver, who is both skilled and friendly, has been life changing for me. I write this review in hopes that others may find lasting relief for yourselves through Dr. Oliver’s complete approach.

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!
