Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently started physical therapy sessions with Dr. Chaitali after being recommended by a friend, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Dr. Chaitali is incredibly attentive, detailed, positive, and genuinely caring toward her patients. From my very first appointment, I felt stronger and more confident about my recovery. Her clinic is well-maintained and nicely equipped, providing a comfortable environment for therapy. One of the highlights of my treatment has been her dry needling technique, which effectively relieved stiffness around my knee. The exercise program she designed for me was explained clearly, making it very easy to follow at home. In just a few sessions, I’ve seen significant progress—my knee feels more stable and comfortable, and I am able to walk with much more confidence. I really appreciate Dr. Chaitali’s practical, one-on-one, patient-focused approach to therapy. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and skilled physical therapist, especially with expertise in needle therapy.

The questions our patients ask us most, answered
Do I need a doctor's referral to start physical therapy at Reflex PT?
No. In North Carolina, you can begin physical therapy without a referral from your doctor. You can call us directly or book online, and we will get you started as quickly as possible, often within the same week.
How do I know if physical therapy is right for me?
If you are experiencing pain, limited movement, recovering from surgery, or have tried medications and other treatments without lasting relief, physical therapy is likely a strong option for you. We offer a free 10–15 minute wellness screening so you can speak with Dr. Patel before committing to anything. It costs nothing and there is no obligation.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your first session begins with a thorough one-on-one evaluation with Dr. Chaitali Patel. She will review your health history, assess your movement patterns, identify the root cause of your pain, and build a personalized recovery plan tailored specifically to your condition and goals. Treatment often begins in that very first session.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends entirely on your condition, severity, and how your body responds to treatment. Most patients begin seeing meaningful improvement within 3 to 6 sessions. After your evaluation, Dr. Patel will give you a realistic timeline and adjust your plan as you progress.
Can physical therapy actually fix my back pain or just manage it?
Physical therapy goes beyond pain management: it targets the root cause of your back pain. At Reflex PT, we use hands-on manual therapy, targeted exercise programs, postural correction, and dry needling to not only relieve your pain but address the underlying dysfunction causing it. Many of our patients experience long-term, lasting relief rather than temporary symptom management.
What exactly is dry needling and how does it work?
Dry needling involves inserting a very thin, sterile needle into a muscle trigger point, a tight band of muscle that causes local or referred pain. The needle stimulates the body's natural healing response, releases the tight muscle band, improves circulation, and reduces pain signals. Most patients experience immediate relief and improved range of motion following treatment.
Does Reflex Physical Therapy accept my insurance?
We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Optum, Aetna, Cigna, Humana, and Tricare. If your plan is not listed, please call us. We accept many additional plans. We verify your benefits before your first visit so there are no surprises.
