Expert Neck Pain Physical Therapy in Macon, Georgia

You do not need a referral to see a physical therapist in Georgia. We can see patients for eight visits within 21 days before requiring a referral from your medical doctor. If you plan to submit receipts to your insurance company for reimbursement, we recommend calling them to inquire if a referral is needed. Either way, we're here to help you get started on your path to neck pain relief right away.

Elite Movement Specialists operates out-of-network with all insurances, including Medicare. We've chosen this model because we refuse to compromise on quality by seeing multiple patients at once. This allows us to provide true 1-on-1 care for your entire session—something insurance-based clinics simply cannot offer. We provide detailed receipts that you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement, and we accept FSA/HSA accounts.

On your first visit, you'll receive a comprehensive orthopedic examination. We'll discuss your neck pain concerns and goals, review your health history, and assess your entire musculoskeletal system—including joint motion, muscle strength, muscle length, balance, and movement quality. You'll work one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy for your entire session. We'll also begin treatment on the first day, which may include manual therapy, corrective exercises, and potentially dry needling. At the end, we'll discuss your personalized plan of care and any home exercises.

Unlike traditional PT clinics where you're squeezed into 20-minute slots and your therapist juggles multiple patients, you work 1-on-1 with a Doctor of Physical Therapy for your entire session at Elite Movement Specialists. We take the time to find the root cause of your neck pain—not just treat symptoms. You'll never receive cookie-cutter exercises or be told to 'just rest.' Instead, you get a personalized treatment plan designed around your goals, lifestyle, and the activities you love. Plus, you have 24/7 access to your doctor of physical therapy to answer questions between sessions.

Every patient's journey is unique, depending on the severity and root cause of your neck pain. During your comprehensive evaluation, your Doctor of Physical Therapy will provide an estimated timeline based on your specific condition and goals. Our focus is not just getting you out of pain, but keeping you out of pain and improving your overall function so you can return to the activities you love without limitations.

We use a variety of evidence-based techniques tailored to your specific needs, including manual therapy (hands-on techniques to improve mobility and reduce pain), dry needling (to release muscle tension and trigger points), cupping therapy, corrective exercises, movement retraining, and sport-specific training. Your Doctor of Physical Therapy will create a customized combination of these techniques based on what your body needs to heal and recover.
