Physical & Occupational Therapy in Waukegan, IL

Waukegan has 18 licensed therapists with a registered practice address, across 2 licence types.

Among the 534 places in Illinois big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Waukegan ranks 94th by providers per resident.

Practically, a figure this far below the median means planning for a longer search. Widening the area you are willing to travel to, asking about video sessions anywhere in Illinois, and looking at community clinics as well as private practice all tend to matter more here than they would in a large city.

Of the 756 places in Illinois with at least one registered provider, Waukegan ranks 19th by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 82% — hold the same licence, physical therapist. Where one type dominates like this, the practical question is less which letters someone has than whether they work with what you are bringing to them.

18 is a small enough number that availability, not choice, will decide how quickly you are seen. Licences are issued at state level, so the practical pool is usually wider than this page shows: 19,651 licensed therapists are registered across Illinois, and many practices now offer appointments by video. The towns listed further down are the next places to look.

One caveat on reading these numbers: the registry records where a provider registered an address, not where they see clients day to day, and addresses are not always kept current. It also says nothing about whether someone is taking new clients.
