Hear From Our Bellevue Patients

  • "I came to Chris with a pinch in my rotator cuff which was a knock-on effect from an injury I sustained the prior year. He was able to diagnose the issue almost immediately and came up with a treatment plan. After 4 visits across 5 weeks and following my assigned routine, the issue was all but gone, but I certainly came out of treatment better than before armed with the knowledge of how misalignment and underdeveloped rotator cuff muscles can lead to shoulder pain, and how to strengthen aforementioned muscles. Working with Chris will change the way you think about sports and injury."

    Eric E.

  • "I was in rough shape when I came to Chris. We started intense dry needling sessions. And it started out painful but I relaxed into it pretty fast. He paid close attention to where he placed the needles so they didn't cause more unnecessary pain. He had me do carefully guided exercises to increase my strength and relieved more pain with stretching. He worked out all the deep tension I felt. I'm so thankful I found him."

    K. M.

  • "Chris is an excellent physical therapist who combines deep knowledge, experience, and a unique blend of techniques—including acupuncture, stretching, and strength training—to support recovery, and he genuinely cares about helping his patients feel better. I've made significant progress in the two months I've worked with Chris and am now nearly pain free."

Neck Pain Physical Therapy FAQs

Get answers to common questions about treatment

  • Osteopractic physical therapy is a specialized approach that emphasizes advanced techniques such as dry needling, spinal manipulation, and comprehensive manual therapy. Unlike traditional PT, where you might see different aides or technicians, you'll work one-on-one with Dr. Chris Lee—a Doctor of Physical Therapy—every single visit. This specialized care provides more precise, targeted treatment tailored to your specific neck pain condition for optimal outcomes.

  • Every patient is unique, but many of our Bellevue patients experience significant improvement within 4-6 sessions. During your comprehensive assessment, we'll create a personalized treatment plan with clear goals and timelines. Our focus is on long-term relief and equipping you with strategies to prevent future issues—not just temporary symptom management.

  • We work with most major insurance plans. During your free discovery call, we can discuss your specific coverage and out-of-pocket costs. We believe quality care should be accessible, and we'll help you understand your benefits before starting treatment.

  • Your first visit includes a thorough 60-minute assessment where Dr. Chris Lee will evaluate your neck pain, review your medical history, assess your movement patterns, and identify the root cause of your discomfort. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your condition, a personalized treatment plan, and often some immediate relief techniques you can use at home.

  • Most patients report mild discomfort during dry needling, similar to a quick pinch, followed by immediate muscle relaxation and relief. Dr. Chris Lee has extensive experience with this technique and pays close attention to needle placement to minimize unnecessary pain. Many patients find it highly effective for releasing deep muscle tension in the neck that other treatments can't reach.

  • Absolutely! Unlike traditional approaches that prescribe complete rest, our Performance/Sports Rehab program is designed to keep you as active as possible during recovery. We'll modify your activities appropriately and provide strategies to maintain fitness while healing. Our goal is to get you back in the game—not keep you on the sidelines.
