Physical & Occupational Therapy in South Milwaukee, WI

There are 39 licensed therapists registered in South Milwaukee. The two most common licence types are physical therapist (23) and occupational therapist (15).

With a population of 20,191, that works out to 19.3 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.

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

Of the 480 places in Wisconsin with at least one registered provider, South Milwaukee ranks 96th by count.

The largest single group is physical therapist, at 23 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 Wisconsin licenses its providers.

Just over half of the licensed therapists here — 59% — 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.
