New York Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation

Blindness and tunnel vision define today’s healthcare. Doctors only treat what they see, and only see what they know. Without dynamic imaging, which is only possible with ultrasonography, we can only see static images of isolated structures — MRI 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. If we only focus on isolated structures, we cannot restore functional mobility. Only holistic treatment can completely resolve pain syndromes and movement disorders. – Dr. Lev Kalika

Why Physical Therapy Alone is not
Enough to Restore Pain-Free Function

Physical therapy is a valuable component of rehabilitative medicine, but it is rarely a stand-alone solution to pain and dysfunction. Prior to beginning physical therapy, we need to address underlying issues that inhibit functional movement, as there is no point in training dysfunctional joints and muscles.

Unfortunately, most mainstream physical therapy clinics do not have the technology, expertise or experience to identify and treat complications that undermine the effectiveness of physical therapy. They often rely on one-size-fits-all treatment protocols that overlook the unique characteristics of individual patients and their injuries. At NYDNRehab, we identify and treat underlying issues prior to beginning physical therapy, for fast and effective results.

Issues we address prior to beginning physical therapy:

Scar tissue and fascia adhesions
Myofascial trigger points
Compressed or entrapped nerves
Neurogenic inflammation

Joint edema
Inflamed soft tissues
Tendons that have degenerated and lost their elastic properties
Uncoordinated muscle recruitment patterns

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.

High Resolution Musculoskeletal Ultrasonography is Key to Accurate Diagnosis

Injuries and movement disorders almost always involve more than one structure or tissue type. Unless we can see the affected area in motion, it is impossible to get an accurate picture of the extent and type of tissue damage. MRI is widely used as an imaging modality, but MRI can only give us static images of an isolated structure or area. Only dynamic ultrasound imaging can show us how the various tissues and structures interact.

Dynamic diagnostic ultrasound lets us:

Visualize the actions and recruitment patterns of individual muscles

Compare structures on opposite sides of the body (injured vs uninjured)

Replay images in slow motion, to make comparisons and calculate specific properties, like muscle pennation angles

Visualize fascia gliding to detect densified fascia and adhesions that inhibit movement

Visualize tendons and tendon synovial membranes

Image the interactions of muscles and fascia during complex multi-joint movements

Visualize nerves and blood vessels as they glide among other structures

Traverse the length of long structures like bones, muscles and nerves

Elicit patient feedback throughout the imaging process

We begin your healing journey with a clinical exam followed by a thorough exam using high-resolution ultrasound imaging. Combined with our 25+ years of experience in functional movement science, diagnostic ultrasonography gives us a clear picture of all factors contributing to your pain and dysfunction, and their impact on the entire kinetic chain.
We conduct a full metabolic, hormonal and gut microbiome assessment to optimize your metabolic state and prepare your body for successful regenerative treatment.
We optimize your joint alignment, enhance fascial gliding, eliminate trigger points, and restore neuromuscular pathways to create an optimal environment for healing.
When appropriate, we may use orthobiologic injection therapy in conjunction with non-invasive regenerative therapies to support tissue healing at the cellular level.
We personalize your physical therapy based on your unique profile. Our holistic approach is evidence-based and data-driven, taking the guesswork out of your treatment protocol.

Our Therapies

The human movement specialists at NYDNRehab work hard to keep pace with the latest trends, therapies and technologies in rehabilitative medicine, to give our patients the best possible care. Many of our therapeutic approaches cannot be found in typical physical therapy clinics.

Chiropractic Care

Your spine provides a protective structure to safeguard your central nervous system, ensuring clear and efficient signaling between your brain and body. But the spine's mobile architecture makes it vulnerable to misalignment and forces that place pressure on sensitive nerves, causing pain and reduced mobility. Chiropractic care is aimed at optimizing your central nervous system by maintaining the integrity of the spinal structures.
