San Antonio Chiropractor Dr. Charles Oliver

San Antonio chiropractor and physical therapist, Dr. Charlie Oliver

Dr. Charlie A. 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 5 years before deciding to pursue his chiropractic degree. "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."

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." He is currently working with publishers and expects to have the book published sometime this year.

Dr. Oliver is married to Dr. Trish Oliver, a pediatrician with Stone Oak Pediatrics. They have two daughters, Kara, 9 and Lauren, 5. In his spare time he enjoys spending time with his family, snow skiing, and mountain biking.
