Physical & Occupational Therapy in North Carolina

There are 14,771 licensed therapists registered in North Carolina. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (8,691) and occupational therapist (4,664).

North Carolina ranks 11th of 56 states and territories by the number of registered providers in this field.

The largest single group is physical therapist, at 8,691 providers or 59% of the total. Licence titles vary between states for what is often similar training and scope, so the mix here partly reflects how North Carolina licenses its providers.

No single licence type dominates here — physical therapist and occupational therapist are within reach of each other. For most common reasons to seek therapy, the distinction between those licences matters less than availability and cost.

Providers are registered in 526 distinct places across North Carolina. The map shows the ZIP codes with the highest counts.

These counts come from the federal NPI registry. A provider appears here if they hold an active NPI with a practice address in this area — it does not mean they are currently accepting new clients, and the registry does not record insurance, fees or availability.
