Pain, discomfort and reduced mobility are common after an athletic injury. At NYDNRehab, we offer a range of services, including:

  • Precise clinical evaluation and diagnosis
  • Sport-specific testing using the latest technology
  • Individualized treatment plans
  • Rehabilitation
  • Injury prevention
  • Perfomance enhancement

Sports physical therapy is a hands-on treatment approach geared to athletes and physically active people suffering from pain or injury. Physical therapy is a non-invasive form of treatment with the end goal of returning the patient to their sport or activity with enhanced performance and reduced risk of re-injury, without medications or surgery.

Sometimes, sports medicine physical therapy follows surgery, helping the athlete to regain confidence and restore functional mobility. A sports physical therapist can monitor a patient’s progress using advanced technology, to ensure the athlete is sufficiently rehabilitated to safely return to play.

Injured athletes often suffer from compensation imbalances and loss of confidence in the injured limb. We use virtual reality feedback training to build strength, agility and confidence, to reduce the risk of injury upon return to play. Our rehabilitation exercises are progressive, designed to offer greater challenges as the injury heals and the athlete grows stronger.

Sports physical therapy can provide injury prevention as well as rehab. An uninjured athlete can benefit from gait or mechanical analysis, and improve their overall performance through feedback and retraining. Recreational runners can benefit from our running gait clinic, to learn to run smarter and prevent common injuries.

Dr. Lev Kalika is one of the most renowned sports medicine doctors in NYC.

Physical therapy and rehab can be time consuming,
and a faulty diagnosis can make treatment a total waste of time.

Failure to accurately diagnose a condition in its early stages can lead to chronic
problems and sometimes devastating results

Diagnostic musculoskeletal sonography (MSUS) provides the perfect tool for the rehab practitioner. Yet many doctors and physical therapists have no experience with MSUS, are unaware of its advantages, and have no idea how to use it as a diagnostic tool.

Below is a prime example of how ultrasound can take the guesswork out of diagnosis.

    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.
