NC Center for Physical Therapy

Duke Urgent Care referred me to PT at Triangle Orthopedics, but I opted to switch over to NC Center for PT instead. I’ll admit, it was closer to my house, and it had better reviews, so I gave it a shot.
I love that this is a small office, not a huge Duke/​UNC conglomerate. That makes parking, appointments/​scheduling, and personal attention so much better. The clinic has a wide variety of treatment methods. When stretching alone didn’t work, they tried crystal ultrasound for my low back pain. When that worked temporarily, they moved on to traction, which worked even longer. They also use manual massage as needed and the combination or treatments was actually way more productive than I had anticipated from physical therapy, after a pretty unhelpful set of sessions from Triangle Orthopedics.
I haven’t had a PT at this clinic that wasn’t amazing, and that says a lot, because I walked in with pretty low expectations for what PT could actually do for me. Misty even watched me get into my car and fake press the pedals to identify something I was doing with my posture and my hip that was at the root of my low back pain during driving. Even for the posture correcting advice alone, this place was worth it. Once you start coming in, you get the feel for how loyal their patients are, and how much the therapists actually care about them. They aren’t even pushy about coming back if you’re making progress. They really just want you to get better, and will even suggest alternative treatments such as acupuncture from local practitioners to supplement treatment, which is rare, and in my case, actually helped a lot.
