Dr. Lev Kalika is an NYC tendon doctor with over 15 years of experience treating tendon conditions, using a combination of rehabilitation and focused and radial shockwave therapy and extracorporeal magnetic transduction therapy. He has helped over a thousand patients with different types of tendon pain.
Dr. Kalika has devoted many years of study to mastering and combining various diagnostic and treatment methodologies, based on the most advanced evidence-based technologies. He is an expert in diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasonography, with over 15 years of experience. He acquired his expertise working with and learning from some of the worlds best radiologists in musculoskeletal ultrasonography.
“My success in treating tendon pain comes from a deep understanding of tendon pathologies, and from the ability to visualize each individual tendon. No two tendons are alike in their anatomy, biomechanics and function. Most tendons are superficial structures, and are much better visualized by high resolution ultrasonography than by Xray or MRI. A distinct advantage of diagnostic ultrasonography over MRI is the ability to visualize muscles and tendons in motion.”
In addition, the high-resolution ultrasound equipment at NYDNRehab has capabilities for sonoelastography to test for tendon stiffness, and superior microvascular imaging (SMI) to detect vascular neogenesis in response to tendon treatment. These two features give us an enormous advantage when diagnosing and treating tendons, yielding the very best results for our patients.
