Integrative Physical Rehabilitative Medicine
“Blindness and tunnel vision define today’s healthcare. Doctors only treat what they see, and only see what they know. Conventional imaging technologies like MRI only give us static images of isolated structures – they cannot tell us how the body’s structures interact, or how injured tissues affect muscles, fascia, ligaments, tendons and nerves.
The human body is greater than the sum of its parts. It is a complex organism made up of integrated systems designed to work in harmony. Only dynamic ultrasound imaging can give us a complete picture of the body’s dysfunction, and only holistic treatment can completely resolve pain syndromes and movement disorders.” – Dr. Lev Kalika

EXCELLENT147 reviewsDavid YazellOctober 25, 2023After going to over 15 Physical therapists and multiple Doctors including an NFL hip and and NFL ankle doctor with 0 improvement, I finally found Dr. Lev K and Daniella who are hands down the best and most experienced at diagnosing the root cause and providing me a plan for rehabilitation. The reason they were so successful is they evaluated my entire kinetic chain via a gait analysis in video, ultrasound, and many more techniques, while providing me pathways to rehabilitate hip and ankle. I came in with daily pain, and now I live a pain free life. Highly recommend for anyone who’s tried traditional PT and not seen improvement.D.E. BooneOctober 21, 2023I was very satisfied with the initial examination conducted by Dr. Kalika, which was detailed and comprehensive. I initially sought help for a stiff neck and pain that was affecting my gait and mobility. Additionally, I was experiencing left shoulder pain with limited movement and more. The prescribed treatment protocols, which included Shockwave therapy and EMTT, were designed to provide regeneration and relief. Halfway through the treatment, my shoulder has remarkably improved. I can now lift it, use it, and even sleep on my left side for the first time in years. As for my neck, I've noticed progressive improvement in mobility and much less pain. Needless to say, I am extremely pleased with the results. Dr. Kalika's dedication and passion for healing are evident in the way he approaches his patients, and it's not surprising that I've seen such positive results. The kindness and professionalism of the staff at the clinic also contributed to my overall positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. Kalika and his team for their exceptional care and effective treatment methods.Philip GialopsosOctober 4, 2023Dr. Kalika uncovered and treated injuries that were missed by multiple doctors and practitioners for 7 years. The price of entry, though high, is well worth it. I've never encountered anyone with his specific skillset and suite of high tech treatments. His ultrasound diagnosis is more of an art than a science. He also employs skilled and empathic colleagues. This practice offers treatments that run the gambit of routine physical therapy to cutting edge magnetic wave machines, and I've had a great experience with every doctor and admin. Julia at the front desk is particularly a delight. They have also been able to get my insurance company to reimburse me for much of my treatment. I've recommended this practice to many friends/colleagues and will continue to do so.RB GOctober 4, 2023I was skeptical. I was nervous. But my doctor said dr Kalika could help me. He is an extremely skilled, knowledgeable and dedicated diagnostician. He created a plan, and i followed it. He told me what to expect, and my physical experiences matched his words. I have made tremendous progress. No more pain. The office is run efficiently. It’s a quiet office and each patient gets one on one time. Worth the investment in/to my body!Vad SlashAugust 6, 2023Tremendous improvement after only 6 sessions. I came here after tearing my meniscus, and they performed miracles. The machines are all brand new and extremely advanced, the facility is well maintained, the staff are all extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated a lot of time to my care. As a soccer player I've dealt with many centers, but this is by far the best, and I am extremely impressed.Boyd MacReidAugust 1, 2023I found Dr. Kalika after researching alternative treatments for lower back pain, as I was not willing to take the long-term risks of the standard steroid injections. He treated me over a period of a couple of months with shockwave therapy. Although insurance did not cover the cost, I am thrilled to report that the treatment was hugely successful. I am hugely grateful for Dr. Kalika's help. I also received PT for achilles tendonitis from Michael, who works with Dr. Kalika. Michael is an exceptional Physical Therapist and his help has been wonderful. It would be remiss of me not to mention that Dr. Kalika's staff are all so kind and caring. It is refreshing to find such caring group of health care professionals.naeem khanJuly 1, 2023I have been suffering with a shoulder condition for several years. And sought prior help with no luck. My experience with Dr Kalika was life changing with the first treatment, once the treatment was established. I am pain free, my shoulder and motion is better than it's been in years. Even my neck is better than it's been in years. Definitely worth the 5 stars times ten!Marc DevineMay 26, 2023Dr. Kalika did a very thorough diagnosis on my knee and leg movement and Michael has been an excellent physical therapist. It is great to have the doctor and therapist in the same office to fully treat any conditions. The exercises have built up slowly in a logical way and I feel much better. We have worked on strength and balance from every angle and I am very glad to have found New York Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation & Therapy.
