Dr. Noah Z

I started my sessions with Dr Noah Zacharko several months ago due to an injury to my left knee that I sustained climbing up and down a ladder doing repairs at home. I had lost most of my strength, and flexibility was limited to my injured knee. I was also experiencing sharp pain in most of my movements and thought I could be facing surgery. Dr Zacharko set up office visits and established a set of physical routines that I could perform each day at home. Over the course of those visits and the simple routines that he provided, my pain has subsided, and my knee has regained full mobility. My legs and joints are much stronger and my confidence level concerning my knee has increased significantly. Dr Zacharko’s help with my knee is very much appreciated as I have improved beyond what I expected when I first started the physical therapy sessions. If you are looking for excellent PT, I would encourage you to give Dr Zacharko a call.

Dr. Noah is simply the best at what he does. He treats the whole patient, and is incredibly intentional, caring, and kind in his assessment and treatment. I’ve found relief for pain I’ve suffered. You won’t regret seeking help from Osteopractic Physical Therapy of the Carolinas!

A Game-Changer for My Chronic Pain: Dr. Z and OPTC After years of dealing with chronic neck and back pain, I had almost given up hope of finding a lasting solution. I had tried everything—long-term chiropractic plans, multiple physical therapists, massage therapy, and more. But no matter how much money I spent or how many professionals I consulted, the results were always the same: temporary relief at best, and the underlying issues were never truly addressed. I was caught in a never-ending cycle of expensive treatments that only scratched the surface. Then I found Dr. Z at OPTC, and everything changed. I came across his name while researching Graston Therapy and Dry Needling, and something about his approach stood out. I decided to book an appointment, and from the moment I sat down with Dr. Z, I knew this experience would be different. We spent nearly two hours discussing my history, my previous treatments, and what had or hadn’t worked for me. No other practitioner had ever taken that kind of time to truly understand my condition and the frustrations I had been dealing with for so long. As I continue to work with Dr. Z, it’s become clear that his approach is nothing short of transformative. Unlike the “one-size-fits-all” methods I had encountered before, Dr. Z’s analysis is incredibly comprehensive. He’s not focused on just one aspect of my pain—he looks at the entire picture, identifying the root cause through a process of critical thinking, trial and error, and constant re-assessment. The plan he developed for me is dynamic and evolves as I progress. Whether it involves adjustments, dry needling, cupping, exercises, or a combination of these, Dr. Z tailors everything to what I truly need, not just what’s easy or convenient. For the first time in years, I feel like I’m on the right path. Dr. Z’s dedication to getting real results is unmatched, and I’ve experienced significant, lasting improvements in my pain and mobility. He’s helped me understand that my issues weren’t just limited to bones, joints, or muscles—there were multiple factors at play, and his holistic approach has finally given me the relief I’ve been searching for. If you’re tired of the same ineffective treatments and are looking for a professional who genuinely cares about finding a solution to your pain, I can’t recommend Dr. Z and OPTC highly enough. He has been the answer to my long-term struggles, and I only wish I had found him sooner.
