EMTT (magnetotransduction)
ESWT (extracorporeal shock wave therapy) is a noninvasive and absolutely safe treatment for the myofascial component of multiple pelvic pain conditions. ESWT can significantly improve the symptoms of pelvic pain and urination disorders in chronic pelvic pain patients. Its therapeutic effect is attributed to the improvement of angiogenesis and non-invasive pain nerve blocks. ESWT has been used extensively in Europe for over a decade to treat pelvic pain. Evidence indicates that ESWT provides significant pain relief and regenerative effects to pelvic floor musculature and significantly decreases pelvic pain. At NYDNREHAB we use highly effective combination of ESWT and EMTT (magnetotransduction) therapy!
ESWT
The following publications enumerate the numerous positive effects of ESWT:
Effect of radial shock wave on chronic pelvic pain syndrome/chronic prostatitis:

Ultrasound guided procedures at NYDNR use the most advanced ultrasonography equipment, enhanced with sonoelastography, rarely available in private clinics.
High resolution ultrasonography is the method of choice for UGDN procedures, able to detect deep trigger points that cannot be manually palpated.
UGDN is highly effective, requiring only 1-3 applications, versus blind dry needling that requires multiple repetitions.
Blind dry needling cannot access deep trigger points, and lacks precision and specificity.
We are able to combine UGDN with focused and radial shockwaves, for optimal results.
UGDN can eliminate the symptomatic phase of physical therapy, moving the patient directly from symptoms to correction, and reducing care by 4-8 weeks.
UGDN is an evidence based treatment approach with a high degree of efficacy.
Dr.Kalika is an internationally recognized expert in UGDN, with multiple scientific publications to his credit.
Dr. Kalika has been treating pelvic floor disorders using focused shockwave therapy for over 10 years. You can read about his research on pelvic pain disorders here: Bubnov, L and Kalika, L (2019). Dry needling of trigger points under ultrasound guidance effective to treat chronic pelvic pain and pelvic prolapse. ICS 2020 Online, Abstract 494. Dr. Lev Kalika has revolutionalized the methodology of treating knee pain and other motor disorders of the lower kinetic chain by introducing unique integrative approaches and combining Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), C.A.R.E.N (computer assisted rehabilitation environment), biofeedback force plate retraining and the most solid conventional approaches in his New York City’s Midtown practice. The results of these new methods are quicker, deeper and longer lasting when compared with basic physical therapy being used today.
