Chiropractic manipulation is a method of manual therapy involving a hands-on approach to the entire body. A chiropractic therapist treats both the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular systems, two of the systems in which we specialize at New York Dynamic Rehabilitation clinic (NYDNRehab).
The musculoskeletal system is the system of muscles, ligaments, bones, and joints that work to include not only the manipulation of spinal joints that traditionally characterizes the science but also a variety of more advanced non-invasive methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and musculoskeletal ultrasound.
At NYDNRehab we treat chiropractic and sports injuries with dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS). DNS differs from conventional chiropractore function in injured patients, this hands-on approach is just one of several employed by DNS.
DNS works by stimulating movement control centers in the brain that are responsible for the auto learn complex postures and movements. This network remains in place throughout the individual’s adult life, providing a foundation for the movements of the body.
DNS re-trains the body in the postures and motions it first learned as a child, re-activating the dormant global motor control system, rather than locally. Ultimately this produces faster and longer-lasting pain relief.
Dr. Lev Kalika of NYDNRehab is one of the first practitioners of DNS in the United States. With over fifteen years’ experience in treating chiropractic and sports injury disorders, NYDNRehab offers some of the most comprehensive musculoskeletal and neuromuscular treatment in New York City.
