New York Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy

Good place, very professional. My Mom has been suffered from heel pain for 10 years. We have tried several treatments but none of them really works. The pain became worse and she can’t stand on her feet for more than 20 minutes. In the first appointment, the doctor examined her feet, legs and lower back. It was discovered that the heel pain is caused by the inappropriate weight distribution on her feet. Her sole and arch can’t provide enough support.
Then we began the physical therapy with other professional staff which helps her gain more strength in her front feet. They also worked on the lower back as well to help her relieve the lower back pain. It helps a a lot for the lower back.
Another treatment we tried is the needle work, which is painful for her but very effective. One doctor use the ultrasound machine to detect which part of the muscle need to be treated and the other doctor put the needle exactly where he points to on the machine.
Thanks to all the treatment from DNS rehab, the heel pain is really relieved. Although it’s not gone completely, it become much better.

My first appointment at this facility and WOW! Courteous, professional staff at Front Desk, got me in quickly, did my paperwork, set me up and off I was to sit down with Dr. Kalika to evaluate my condition. He was thorough — listening to and answering my questions and explaining all the steps involved in the upcoming treatment — a true evaluation. To address my condition — plantar fascia (right foot) — his staff combined shockwave therapy, acupuncture and conditioning exercises. I like the concept of treating the condition as part of a «whole» — after all, this pain doesn’t happen in a vacuum, it does affect other parts of thebody, such as the way one walks — with one side trying to compensate for the discomfort on the other side. I’ve set up my 3 visits for next week. A great first impression which encourages me to recommend them to others.

These guys are pros. They look and treat beyond the superficial to get to the cause of an issue, then develop a plan to fix it. Dr Kalika has a gift for solving complex problems. They delivered results faster, and more broadly, than I’ve experienced before from PT, strength programs, acupuncture, etc. Within 3 weeks I made more progress than in 6 months of other therapies. They’re also a pleasure to work with. Strongly recommend them to anyone that needs a hand overcoming chronic issues from TMJ to sports injuries.

Don’t bother calling if you’re a new patient. I guess business must be good that they are too busy to take on new clients. I called twice trying to get information about coming in and what insurance they take. I was told both times that the Office Manager would call me back. After the first timel, I explained that I had already left a message and didn’t get a return call. I was told this time she’d call me back within the hour. No call again. I wound up going somewhere else where they immediately answered my question about insurance and got me in for an appointment right away. The place looks like they have state of the art services which I was interested in. Too bad they don’t have good customer service.

I was experiencing excruciating pain in my right foot which was plantar fasciitis. Upon further examination, it was discovered that I had balance and support issues in my feet which was a major contributing factor to my pain in my plantar fascia.
Dr. Kalika and his professional staff were able to find a course of treatment which has eliminated the majority of pain in my foot through the use of shockwave therapy and have been working to strengthen my feet and work on my balance with targeted exercises such as stretching and therapeutic massage.
The other treatment which has been of tremendous help has been the use of the CAREN technology. No other office has this and it is a fun and interactive way to get the necessary results which I have been seeking. I highly recommend Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation without hesitation!

I don’t easily give 5 star reviews, but DNS deserves it!
I have decades of built-​up muscular and structural pain (Neck, TMJ, Shoulder, and Back), and have (unsuccessfully) seen many chiropractors, massage therapist, and even an oral surgeon. Nothing seemed to really work — only provided short-​term relief. I was desperate for a different treatment approach and decided to give DNS a try.
I’m THRILLED to say that I am starting to finally see results that are sticking! The therapists and staff are amazing! Not only are they extremely knowledgeable and skilled, but very friendly and really go the extra mile. I like that I get to see multiple therapists each visit (they tag-​team the problem and address it from different angles!). Also, I’m a patient that asks a lot of questions, and they always take the time to listen and make sure that I understand their process and what is going on in my treatment.
Although my rehab is taking a bit longer than I expected — probably because my problems are all interconnected and so deep that it’s like peeling layers of an onion — I can only say I WISH I FOUND DNS SOONER.

I have an old ACL injury from playing sports a few years ago My knee started to feel uncomfortable and after having surgery I had to strengthen my knee. I am lucky to have found this office. This place is very friendly, caring, thoughtful and they take the time to give you one on one attention. My therapist is highly knowledgeable, listens to your needs, and knows his stuff inside and out. They do neuromuscular massages which helps with my treatment and show and teach you exercises that you can do at home. The office has some cool technologies that are mind-​blowing. Besides being top of the game in their field they combine different methods that get the job done.

I’m a new patient that’s been coming to Dr. Kalika for about 4 weeks. From the first day that I came in, I was welcomed, and the staff is so very friendly. I usually don’t get that experience from other Dr.‘s offices. There wasn’t much of a wait time. I think the most I waited was 5 minutes. Dr. Kalika is great and explained exactly what he was doing and why. Not once have I felt uncomfortable. I have felt a lot better since going. The overall experience has been great and I look forward to my future visits.

I have been seeing Dr Kalika and the team for a few months now to treat my thoracic outlet syndrome. I went to dozens of doctors all over SF and NY to try to treat this over a period of 18 months. All doctors would simplify my symptoms and give some exercises that helped a little but never completely relieved the pain.
I was then referred to DNS by my personal trainer. At first I didn’t really understand the treatment as my issue was very complex and extremely difficult to treat. Dr Kalika and his team were very patient and worked through many different approaches to get to the core of the problem. Over time, with care, patience and monitoring we were able to resolve the problem and get me to a point of being pain free. I really thought I had no option other than surgery to resolve this, Dr Kalika and his team have done a great job in training me to look after my issue in the long term and to fix the life long postural issues that contribute to it.
If you are considering surgery I would strongly consider trying DNS first. It takes time and effort but the result is far more beneficial and cost effective than surgery. The office also has all types of advanced equipment for other injuries, I never needed these, just good old school hard work and effort.

Lev, Sunny and Greg are an incredible team. I can’t thank them enough for all their attention. I have a long standing wrist, shoulder and neck injury that was so aggravated from working at the office, that my right hand to elbow would have numbness and tingling by the end of the day. Not to mention it was incredibly painful and was afflicting my work and leisure activities, such as yoga. I had seen other physical therapists and had not had much luck, but my pain was pretty severe, so I decide to give PT another shot.
From day one my pain subsided, which was just astonishing to me after all the mediocre results from my past PT experiences. Lev, Sunny and Greg use techniques that manipulate the muscles and muscle memory, and really are committed to finding solutions. They and the entire staff are so dedicated to their patients’ health. I highly recommend DNS!

As I walked into the office for the first time, I immediately felt comforted and knew I would be in good hands. The space looks new and renovated. Everyone is very friendly and helpful, very easy to talk to. The receptionist is lovely and was able to help talk through my insurance/​payment plan with me. I love the office and all the doctors. I love that there is a physical therapist, doctor, and therapeutic masseur all in one place. One stop shopping! The team gave me one on one attention and were able to pinpoint the roots of my issues in my first appointment. I trust them completely with my health and will never go to any other physical therapy office. Also, all of their medical equipment is very modern and up to date. They even have a new virtual reality machine that’s made with the same technology as the creation of Avatar!

After suffering a mild stroke, I was fortunate to come upon DNR while looking for an outpatient rehab center. Little did I know what a find I’d made. The entire experience of retraining myself through stimulating specific parts of my brain, became an exercise I eagerly looked forward to. Using interactive screens, I term“IMAX meets AVATAR”, I am challenged to hit certain targets, and guide my body through virtual mazes, all the while maintaining and improving my strength and balance. After this I usually workout in the anti-​gravity treadmill, where I hone my gait and concentrate on balance and leg strengthening activities. My session ends with massage therapy for my hand and arm, easing the muscle tension there. I cannot believe the incredible recovery I’ve accomplished through the use of the state of the art equipment (CAREN) and I cannot express enough THANKS and gratitude to Dr. Kalika and the entire staff for expressing such positive encouragement in a warm and inviting atmosphere!

I have herniated and bulging discs that have caused me chronic pain in my back and down my leg for years. Dr Kalika and his team have been the first to help alleviate the pain by combining the use of state of the art equipment and providing me with exercises to do at home, I highly recommend him and his team.

Highly recommend. Super knowledgeable, helpful, attentive and patient.

You are in good hands with Lev! He has such a fantastic and supportive energy and will help you get back on your feet after injury.
He helped me to relearn how to walk…
Plus he conveniently located!

I was referred to DNR by my Orthopedic Surgeon following my meniscus bucket-​handle tear surgery in January 2013 and I am now at 110% strength and stability compared to BEFORE my injury.
I can say with full confidence that 3 months later not only is my knee fully functional, but Dr. Kalika and Sunny were able to quickly help me build the leg strength I had been lacking my entire life! What I never learned from years of hot yoga about the importance of bending/​sitting form (Awkward Pose is terrible for your knees!) Dr. Kalika and Sunny were able to correct in a matter of months.
I highly recommend this facility not only for the state-​of-​the art technology which is second to none in this country, but for the friendly and knowledgable team!

The perfect combination of professionalism and patience. Doctor Kalika and his staff are consummate professionals. Where others might just prescribe you a set rehabilitation package, the professionals at DNR will work tirelessly to establish an individualized routine that will be most effective in your recovery. And don’t forget that they are open late — an excellent boost for those with long work hours.

My husband and I have both been treated at Doctor Lev Kalika office; me for a frozen shoulder and him for an inflamed elbow joint. We have received excellent treatment. The office is conveniently located and equipped with the latest in medical technology. Doctor Kalika was able to diagnose me right away, even demonstrating the problem areas to me on the sonogram machine. The staff is educated and friendly and the office is very organized with their scheduling. I am able to schedule lunchtime appointments and never have to wait more than 3 minutes, and am able to get a variety of treatments in one visit.

I am forever grateful to Dr. Kalika for helping me to rid of chronic back pain that completely immobilize my life for the past 8 years. His superb skill and advanced techniques and knowledge in the field of physical therapy and chiropractic medicine let me enjoy my life again and allow me to participate in sports and other physical activities.
I have tried a few doctors in New York and even out of state but nobody had such an amazing approach and state of the art equipment like office of Dr. Kalika.
Thank you Dr. Kalika and Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Center.
Forever grateful Ms. A

Dr Kalika is an amazing doctor! He really is an expert who knows human body. I have had lower back pain for years. Dr Kalika was able to correctly diagnose my condition and prescribed exercises and stretches that helped my condition from day one. The therapy sessions are always individual and never rushed. Everybody in the office is extremely helpful. I highly recommend!
