Physical Therapy FAQ
Why can physical therapy be a good choice?
Many of our patients come to us after doing their own research, because they don’t want to keep taking pain meds, they don’t want to have a surgery, and other providers they have been referred to have been unable to resolve their pain any other way.
Our Physical Therapists are movement specialists who will assess your pain, evaluate your whole body, find and treat the root cause of your pain, instead of just treating the symptoms. The fact that you are reading this demonstrates that you want a better long-term solution than you have been able to find. It’s the reason we have been here for over 10 years now. Don’t keep living in pain - give us a call to discuss your needs at (919) 410-8840.
Why choose a small private PT practice like NCCPT?
As one of our former clients said- “Read the reviews, believe in the hype and you’ll still be impressed.” Check out our five star reviews. So many of our patients will tell you about our friendly, warm atmosphere, professional expertise, and how we've helped them relieve pain or reach big dreams.
Since 2010, your goal has been our goal. We focus on the QUALITY of your care, not the QUANTITY of the people we can see (which many of the chain PT locations prioritize). Some have said seeing us - "the local, family-owned guys" - is a lot like the difference between the service get at a locally-owned restaurant vs. McDonald’s.
We have the ability to see you within a week of your referral or request for services. Unlike the large hospitals, there is no reason to wait (in pain) for six weeks before you can make an appointment.
Consistency of care is important in speeding up recovery time. We can see you consistently without making you wait 2-4 weeks between visits so you can get back to living your life pain free, without pain meds. This is also something we have heard is a challenge with large hospital-based PT facilities.

What kind of training does a Physical Therapist have?
A physical therapist spends 7 years in college to earn a doctorates degree in physical therapy. The last three years are spent entirely on learning the mechanics of how all the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints work together in the human body, where different pain symptoms originate when they aren't working together in harmony, and what methods to implement to alleviate those pains. Oftentimes, the root cause of your pain is not where you feel the pain.
