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 is one of the top two doctors I have ever visited with. Today was my first visit at his clinic and all I can say is WOW!! The office and Dr. Oliver really take the time to explain everything to you and make sure to maintain communication amongst each other. Dr. Oliver is a very intelligent, compassionate, understanding, and yet a caring doctor. You can definitely tell his number one priority is to help you feel better. I feel very fortunate to have found an office like his and look forward to getting better.
I highly recommend this office! I started seeing Dr. Oliver after a car accident and I have never experienced a chiropractor who did more than a simple adjustment. Dr. Oliver incorporates stretching and other treatments in addition to the adjustment with each session. He takes the time to build a specialized treatment plan for each of his patients. It has been so helpful. I am also very impressed with his staff. They are super efficient, personable, and a joy to see with each visit.
Doctor Oliver and his staff are wonderful! I would recommend him to everyone.
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.
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!
Let me just tell you about the best medical experience I have ever had. I went to Dr. Oliver for a specific problem after a failed attempt at chiropractic care in another office. He and his staff listened to me and offered me treatment plans to improve not only my back but my overall health. I didn’t know how bad I’d been feeling until I began to feel better! They take great lengths to offer personalized care and really get to know their patients. I would highly recommend this office, Dr. Oliver and his staff for any ailments you may be having.
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.
BEST CHIRO / PHYSICAL THERAPIST I’ve ever been to!!! And I mean that! I have been seeing Chiropractors for over 40 years with neck and back issues. I had severe chronic pain in the right side of my neck that would be so debilitating I couldn’t even turn my head. I’d see a Chiro – get it adjusted only to have to return two days later for another “fix”.
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 also talked to Dr. Oliver about my chronic neck pain and my frequent lower back pain. After completing a long questionnaire and x-rays, my treatment plan began. The treatment plan involved a nutritional consultation, a detox/cleanse and many new PT techniques to re-align my spine and straighten the very obvious curve in my neck. These exercises have also increased strength in my neck muscles and helped improve my posture significantly. The pain is now GONE!!! When I have a flare, it’s usually because of my diet and I have learned what to avoid.
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 you are looking for a Chiropractor / Therapist that is knowledgeable about total health and fitness, then Dr. Charlie Oliver is the man for you!!
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.
