Physical & Occupational Therapy in Oak Ridge, TN

50 licensed therapists are registered in Oak Ridge — about 14.1 for every 10,000 residents.

Among the 207 places in Tennessee big enough for the comparison to hold — at least a thousand residents, and a resident population that matches who is registered there — Oak Ridge ranks 76th by providers per resident.

That puts Oak Ridge close to the middle for Tennessee. Expect to contact several providers rather than one, and to find that availability rather than choice is the binding constraint.

Of the 314 places in Tennessee with at least one registered provider, Oak Ridge ranks 30th by count.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 70% — 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.

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.
