Healers have been using cold therapy for centuries to treat injuries, numb pain and reduce inflammation, and athletes have relied on ice baths for decades to speed up recovery after training and competition. But now, technology has taken cryotherapy to a whole new level, making it more accessible and convenient, and much less uncomfortable than ever before.
Cryotherapy is one of our latest technologies at NYDNRehab. Our mobile cryotherapy machine delivers an icy-cold blast of nitrogen gas directly to the site of pain or injury, to quickly reduce swelling, soothe irritated nerves and numb pain. Cryotherapy is a great tool for rehabilitating injuries, treating surgical incisions and promoting recovery from sports and exercise.
When used in conjunction with other therapies and technologies, cryotherapy provides a valuable tool for optimizing and accelerating the rehabilitation process.

Clinical director & DC RMSK
As a prominent New York clinician with over 15 years of experience, Dr. Kalika has devoted his life’s work to finding the best therapies and technologies to treat injuries, pain syndromes and musculoskeletal dysfunction. Having trained under some of Europe’s most eminent pioneers in rehabilitative medicine, Dr. Kalika has developed his own unique approach to patient care that sets his clinic apart from average physical therapy clinics.
Dr. Kalika is an expert in diagnostic ultrasonography, with multiple scientific research papers to his credit. NYDNRehab is one of few clinics featuring high resolution ultrasound equipment with capabilities for superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and sonoelastography, along with a growing array of electromagnetic regenerative technologies to stimulate healing at the cellular level.
Dr. Kalika’s tech-forward approach to patient care has made him one of the most sought-after sports medicine practitioners in NYC.
When confronted with chronic pain, traumatic injuries or reduced mobility, people are often at a loss for where to turn. Conventional doctors often prescribe addictive pain medications to mask symptoms, and when that no longer works, they are quick to recommend surgery that yields mediocre results.
Even chiropractors and physical therapists often lack the training and equipment to render an accurate diagnosis and provide effective treatment. Many resort to one-size-fits-all exercise protocols and outdated recovery timelines that fall short of completely restoring safe and functional movement patterns.
At NYDNRehab, we take a holistic and personalized approach to patient care, treating the patient and not just the symptoms. Our high resolution ultrasound equipment enables us to visualize damaged tissues in real time, for on-site diagnosis and ongoing monitoring of progress.
In many cases, physical therapy alone is not enough to resolve pain and dysfunction. Prior to beginning physical therapy, we pre-treat damaged tissues with advanced technologies to reduce pain and inflammation, and eliminate issues like scar tissue and adhesions that inhibit the effectiveness of physical therapy.
Patients love our one-on-one approach, and our personalized treatment protocols ensure that your condition gets resolved in the least time possible. Our technologies, experience and expertise set NYDNRehab apart as the clinic of choice for physical rehabilitation in NYC.

During a cryotherapy session, the clinician uses a wand-like device to direct the flow of sub-zero temperature nitrogen gas to targeted tissues. Within seconds, painful nerve endings are numbed, and swollen tissues begin to shrink. Unlike frigid ice baths used by athletes that last half an hour or longer, a single cryotherapy session lasts only a few minutes, but renders the same benefits.
Cryotherapy taps into your blood vessels’ capacity to constrict and dilate. When superficial tissues are exposed to extreme cold, blood vessels naturally constrict, shunting blood away from the surface and into the viscera. In the process, fluids and toxins are flushed from damaged tissues and carried into the circulatory system, to be eliminated via the lymph and kidneys.
When it comes to injury rehabilitation, cryotherapy helps to numb pain and reduce inflammation, to prepare tissues for further treatment and physical therapy.
Cryotherapy is one of our newest technologies for patient care. The clinic at NYDNRehab features some of the most advanced technologies available for musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
Focused ESWT technology produces high frequency sound waves to stimulate the body’s own reparative mechanisms. ESWT helps to reduce pain and inflammation, increase circulation to targeted tissues, and stimulate the body’s innate healing mechanisms.
EMTT is a new technology that transmits high energy magnetic pulses to targeted tissues. The magnetic waves synchronize with the body’s own magnetic fields, to trigger a reparative response. EMTT waves are able to target difficult-to-reach tendons, muscles, bones and nerves.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT)
EPAT, also known as defocused or radial shockwave therapy, uses acoustic pressure waves to enhance blood circulation to targeted tissues.
HEIT uses electromagnetic fields to penetrate cells, tissues, organs and bones, to reactivate optimal electrochemical function and stimulate healing of nerves, muscles and blood vessels.
High Resolution Ultrasound Imaging
Seeing is believing! Our high resolution ultrasound equipment renders crystal-clear images of your body’s structures in real time, for a thorough and accurate diagnosis. In addition, advanced technology gives us capabilities for superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and sonoelastography, two invaluable tools for tracking the progress of your therapy.
INDIBA therapy is a type of transfer of energy capacitive and resistive (TECAR) therapy that helps to restore the ionic charge of damaged cells, for faster injury healing and rehabilitation.
INDIBA Radiofrequency Therapy
Whether you’ve been injured, recently had surgery, or are suffering from common pain syndromes like sciatica or plantar fasciitis, cryotherapy can help to reduce your pain and accelerate the healing process. When administered as part of a holistic treatment protocol, cryotherapy can be a valuable tool for restoring pain-free mobility.
Don’t waste your time and money on doctors and therapists who lack the necessary tools and expertise to resolve your pain and dysfunction. Contact NYDNRehab today, and jump-start the healing process so you can get back to functional pain-free movement.
