NYDNREHABNew York Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation
We Treat the Whole Patient, not Just Your Symptoms“Anatomy is to physiology as geography is to history; it describes the theatre of events.” – Jean François Fernel, 16th-century French physician who coined the term “physiology”The human body is made up of integrated parts and systems, designed to work in harmony. Today’s modern reductionist approach to medical treatment fails to acknowledge the integral relationship between structure and function, focusing on the locus of pain without considering its broader implications.
When you are injured, pain tells only part of the story. Most injuries involve multiple structures and tissue types. Pain is a symptom that signals your brain to protect and heal the damaged tissues, but treating pain symptoms alone will not resolve your condition. It is not uncommon for an injury to stop hurting while damaged structures remain untreated.
At NYDNRehab, we take an integrative approach to diagnosis. A personalized holistic exam underscores the success of integrative medicine. Our diagnostic process looks at the big picture, taking into account the interrelated nature of the body’s structures and systems. We use high resolution diagnostic ultrasound to confirm the findings of our clinical examination, and dig deeper to discover the full scope of your injuries.
Our ultrasound exam takes place on-site, on your first visit. Unlike MRI, ultrasound is clinically friendly and allows us to examine multiple areas of the body in a single session – with no waiting for lab results! Ultrasound imaging helps us determine whether structural (anatomical) changes are causing pain and dysfunction, or if dysfunction is causing structural changes.
Shockwave therapy begins with a tissue scan using the highest resolution ultrasound equipment. Once we identify the treatment area, we map the focal region, including target size and depth. Next, we mark the area to be treated and set our transducer at the appropriate depth. We use high-resolution ultrasound imaging to guide the shockwave procedure, to ensure accuracy. To follow up after the shockwave procedure, we use high-resolution ultrasonography to monitor the healing process and visualize any changes in the tissues over time.
Dr.Kalika has over 20 years of experience in ultrasound guided procedures. He has been an active member of the International Society of Medical Shockwave Therapy (ISMST) since 2007, and has treated thousands of patients using ESWT. Our clinic features the only shockwave equipment available that lets us combine focused, defocused and radial shock waves.
Shockwave Therapy Specialist Dr. Lev KalikaDr. Kalika is an esteemed member of the International Society for Medical Shockwave Treatment ((SMST). He is the only clinician in New York certified by the ISMST to perform extracorporeal shockwave therapy. Dr. Lev Kalika is a world-renowned expert in musculoskeletal ultrasonography, and has published multiple peer-reviewed articles about ultrasound guided procedures. The clinic at NYDNRehab features the most advanced focused, defocused, linear and radial shockwave equipment available in NYC, enabling us to effectively target different tissue types by adjusting the frequency, intensity and depth of the focal zone, and allowing us to select and combine different types of shockwaves to treat specific types of tissues. Our use of ultrasound imaging to guide shockwave procedures ensures that the shockwaves hit their mark, to produce optimal results. Dr. Kalika’s 20+ years of experience and expertise in ESWT and diagnostic ultrasound imaging make NYDNRehab the clinic of choice for extracorporeal shockwave therapy in NYC.
Services and products
NYDNRehab is a cutting-edge musculoskeletal and sports medicine clinic that delivers fully individualized care, combining advanced diagnostics, precision rehabilitation, physical therapy, and regenerative medicine.
Comprehensive DiagnosticsThey use state-of-the-art technologies — including 3D motion analysis (Showmotion), real-time diagnostic ultrasound, gait and running lab, strength testing, and posture/biomechanics assessments — to uncover the exact source of dysfunction rather than just symptoms.Personalized Rehabilitation & Physical TherapyTreatment plans are built around each patient’s unique deficits, integrating manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization), gait retraining, and targeted exercise. The focus is on restoring optimal movement patterns and force balance, not just relieving pain.Orthobiologics & Regenerative Energy MedicineWhen appropriate, personalized regenerative interventions are added, including PRP, stem cell–based protocols, prolotherapy, and injectables — often enhanced by regenerative energy technologies such as ESWT (shockwave), EMTT (magnetic transduction), TECAR therapy, and focused ultrasound. These therapies are integrated with rehab to stimulate tissue healing and remodeling while correcting biomechanics.Holistic IntegrationNYDNRehab emphasizes the synergy between mechanical restoration (rehab, biomechanics) and biological repair (regenerative orthobiologics and energy medicine). Each patient receives a tailored plan that adapts to their progress and goals — whether recovering from sports injury, chronic pain, or complex instability conditions.
