Physical & Occupational Therapy in Long Beach, MS

There are 10 licensed therapists registered in Long Beach. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (8) and orthopedic physical therapist (1).

With a population of 17,309, that works out to 5.8 providers per 10,000 residents. Density is a rough measure: providers register a practice address, which may be a clinic serving a much wider area than the city itself.

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 Mississippi, 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 216 places in Mississippi with at least one registered provider, Long Beach ranks 47th by count.

The largest single group is physical therapist, at 8 providers or 80% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how Mississippi licenses its providers.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 80% — 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.

10 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: 2,807 licensed therapists are registered across Mississippi, 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.
