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.

The office is nicely decorated with a comfortable welcoming atmosphere. The office is very clean.

I began my chiropractic journey with Dr. Oliver four months ago, and the results have been nothing short of remarkable. Not only has my lower back and right hip discomfort significantly diminished, but I’ve also noticed a profound sense of relaxation in my nervous system and a reduction in my overall anxiety levels. From the very first visit, Dr. Oliver’s expertise and attentive care have made a world of difference. His personalized treatment plan was tailored to address my specific concerns, and the progress I’ve experienced has been truly impressive. The relief I feel in my lower back and hip is a testament to his skill and dedication. What sets Dr. Oliver apart is not only his professional proficiency but also his warm and welcoming demeanor. The entire staff displays friendliness and hospitality, creating an inviting atmosphere every time I walk through the door. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their patients’ well-being and comfort Overall, my experience with Dr. Oliver and his staff has been exceptional. The relief I’ve found has greatly improved my overall quality of life.

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!

Dr. Oliver and staff are absolutely amazing! Dr. Oliver walked me through my scans and described my treatment thoroughly, which made me feel at ease knowing I was in good hands (literally and figuratively). His staff is always so nice and welcoming. You can tell they truly love what they do and are so great to work with. If you need a good chiropractor, look no further.


Dr. Oliver and staff are very professional and obviously care about their patients. I first arrived with a debilitating pinched nerve in my neck, and they made room for me the next day. The initial treatment, including the cold laser, gave me 90% relief by day 2! At my second appointment Dr. Oliver spent a lot of time with me reviewing my xrays and my condition, explaining why I was hurting and what he recommended my treatment should be. I signed up for ongoing treatments to help restore the curve in my neck. I am still in that process, and my neck has not had a pinched nerve in it since. It has been a couple of months now. I am grateful to the entire staff for their care and concern. They operate as a well-oiled machine and are extremely kind and helpful. I highly recommend them!

I was referred to Dr. Oliver after a neck injury. I had never endured such pain to my neck to where I couldn’t lift a grocery bag. NO matter what my posture was (sitting, standing, laying down), I was in lots of pain. When I called I was concerned they wouldn’t have time to fit me in. Once I explained my situation and pain they had me wait a day for swelling to go down then to come in the next day. I could tell that he “fit” me in cause he was very busy. He still took the time to give me a full evaluation, The staff was amazing and friendly too, Even though I was in pain they could still make you smile. After a week of following Dr. Oliver’s instructions, I was back to normal! I would refer him to any one!!! Thank you Dr. Oliver and Staff

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!
