New York Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy
Clinical research gives us the best possible information about how best to treat individual patients. What Research Is Appropriate for Evidence-Based Medicine? Evidence-based medicine requires published, peer-reviewed research that doctors of treatment plans can evaluate and verify. Ideally, the authors of the research should support their findings with randomized clinical trials. Trials generally provide ample […]

When an athlete’s hamstring becomes injured, the individual will experience tightness that significantly restricts the person’s movements and severe pain that occurs while the muscles contract. The person may choose a rehabilitation program that requires eccentric training, or the athlete can participate in a program that strengthens the muscles of the core and enhances the […]

Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization is a cutting-edge therapy that can reduce the long-term effects of injuries, enhance strength, improve the patient’s posture and decrease pain. The procedures allow specialists to improve the movements of infants who suffer from conditions that influence coordination. The treatments can typically improve the patient’s reflexes, flexibility and balance. Treating Patients With […]

The sacroiliac, or SI, joint connects the sacrum at the base of the spine to the pelvis. You have one joint on either side of the sacrum. The joint is responsible for the following: Transferring energy and load between your upper and lower body Absorbing shock as you walk so that vibration does not affect […]

Below is a prime example of how ultrasound can take the guesswork out of diagnosis.
A bad physical therapy experience is one of the primary causes of unnecessary surgery
In this instance, an athlete was originally diagnosed with minor quadriceps muscle strain and was treated for four weeks, with unsatisfactory results. When he came to our clinic, the muscle was not healing, and the patients’ muscle tissue had already begun to atrophy.
Upon examination using MSUS, we discovered that he had a full muscle thickness tear that had been overlooked by his previous provider. To mitigate damage and promote healing, surgery should have been performed immediately after the injury occurred. Because of misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, the patient now has permanent damage that cannot be corrected.
The most important advantage of Ultrasound over MRI imaging is its ability to zero in on the symptomatic region and obtain imaging, with active participation and feedback from the patient. Using dynamic MSUS, we can see what happens when patients contract their muscles, something that cannot be done with MRI. From a diagnostic perspective, this interaction is invaluable.
