Dr Kalika is very knowledgeable and professional. It was nice to meet with him. The front desk people is also nice. I would definitely go with him for my treatment if he could change the billing person. The person who in charge of billing is very rude and impatient. I am not sure if it is my race that make her treat me like this. If yes, it will be even unforgivable. I was very polite and patient trying to understand and get information. I don’t think I deserve it.

Dr. Kalika uncovered and treated injuries that were missed by multiple doctors and practitioners for 7 years. The price of entry, though high, is well worth it. I've never encountered anyone with his specific skillset and suite of high tech treatments. His ultrasound diagnosis is more of an art than a science. He also employs skilled and empathic colleagues. This practice offers treatments that run the gambit of routine physical therapy to cutting edge magnetic wave machines, and I've had a great experience with every doctor and admin. Julia at the front desk is particularly a delight. They have also been able to get my insurance company to reimburse me for much of my treatment. I've recommended this practice to many friends/colleagues and will continue to do so.

My friend reccomended Dr Kalika to me, after hearing my stories of never ending backpain. I have tried many local dr's, went through tests, procedures, PT etc. I had been living with pain the last 3 years, as nothing helped to get back to normal life until I had my first appointment with Dr. Kalika. Shockwave therapy provided tremendous relief after the 1st session. After diagnosing me with more issues than just 1 bulging disc as I was previously diagnosed by HSS dr's (MRI, XRAY and other images did not reveal any more issues than a bulging disc), Dr Lev Kalika came up with an 8 week treatment plan, including shock wave therapy, magnit therapy, needles and ultimately PT. Fastforward 5 months, I feel great, I am in good shape, I am able to do things that were put on hold due to constant pain, I am active every day, as we all should be. And all thanks to Dr Kalika, who is very knowledgeble, skilful, attentive, honest and who literally helps people to get back on their feet. Thank you Doctor and the NYDNRehab team!!

I was skeptical. I was nervous. But my doctor said dr Kalika could help me. He is an extremely skilled, knowledgeable and dedicated diagnostician. He created a plan, and i followed it. He told me what to expect, and my physical experiences matched his words. I have made tremendous progress. No more pain. The office is run efficiently. It’s a quiet office and each patient gets one on one time. Worth the investment in/to my body!

I came to NYDN Rehab with chronic low back pain, which, to that day, had never been properly treated. I had been to a handful of other clinics, but my low back pain still overpowered my life. At first, I thought I might try NYDN Rehab's dry needling treatment, because I've never tried it before; but after a very thorough examination using diagnostic ultrasonography, Dr. Kalika recommended that I start with shockwave therapy to my low back joints, then transition to dry needling. Five weeks after shockwave therapy and ultrasound guided dry needling sessions, my pain was 80% gone. I can't stress how life changing that was for me. I was able to sleep more, dance more (something I love to do), and feel happier. After those five weeks, I started to work with their physio, who taught me to activate my deep core muscles. Soon after, I was pain free. I highly recommend NYDN Rehab for anyone with back pain. My entire experience was immaculate, from the efficient front desk, effective treatments, and the physicians and staff who truly care. Dr. Kalika loves what he does and it reflects on his work and team.

I developed sciatic nerve pain about five month ago.The pain was so strong that I could not sit . I did acupuncture , tried couple guided steroid injections and oral steroids , but it wasn’t getting any better. My sister suggested sciatica physical therapy and referred me to the NYDNRehab clinic. I am so glad I went! Dr. Kalika used shock wave therapy and ultrasound guided dry needling, along with chiropractic care and physical therapy to strengthen my pelvic floor and other core muscles. My sciatica is completely gone, and I am able to sit. This is a great clinic with great people.

I'm a new patient of Dr. Kalika's, and have seen a greater improvement in 1-2 months with him than a full year of other therapists. A bit about my case: I had a surgery, and tried your typical chain Physical Therapy companies across NYC. I had bad experiences at most of them, and hadn't recovered a year after my surgery. My Podiatrist recommended Lev and he's been working with me, alongside PT's in his practice like Dr. YOO (who is absolutely exceptional) and I've been making great progress. There is no one else I'll go see in NYC if I have another issue. This team gets the job done.

I’ve been receiving treatments from Dr. Kalika and his staff for a meniscus tear in my knee. My impression has been overwhelmingly positive. What differentiates Dr. Kalika is his excellent diagnostic skills aided by cutting-edge technology. Dr. Kalika used diagnostic ultrasound to examine the tissues inside my knee -- that’s something I’ve never seen anywhere else. The regimen he prescribed includes some unique treatments (ShockWave therapy and magnet therapy), as well as PT and dry needling. You get a lot of individualized attention at this practice. Dr. Kalika is truly focused on solving your problem -- as opposed to the assembly-line in-and-out approach you experience with so many doctors today. Dr. Yoo as well spent a lot of time with me on physical therapy and I can tell she is genuinely interested in helping me recover. Since I started treatments, my knee pain went away and I can feel my knee getting stronger. I highly recommend Dr. Kalika’s practice to anyone seeking help with orthopedic problems.

Tremendous improvement after only 6 sessions. I came here after tearing my meniscus, and they performed miracles. The machines are all brand new and extremely advanced, the facility is well maintained, the staff are all extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated a lot of time to my care. As a soccer player I've dealt with many centers, but this is by far the best, and I am extremely impressed.

I received incredible care from this entire staff to rehab my knee. They were professional, responsive, friendly and great to work with. They also got my knee doing much better than I thought possible. Highly recommend!

My elderly mother suffers from very severe knee arthritis, and she has difficulty walking more than a few blocks. We had consulted with a few orthopedic surgeons, and every one of them recommended knee replacement surgery. She was given a couple of plasma injections, but they didn’t really help. Because my mother has a heart condition, she was very reluctant to have knee replacement surgery. While searching online for alternative treatments for knee osteoarthritis, I found Dr. Kalika and made an appointment. Dr. Kalika was very kind and attentive to my mother. He used diagnostic ultrasound imaging to look at her knee, where he found multiple soft tissue problems. He used a combination of shockwave, magnetic, and radio-frequency Tecar wave therapy to regenerate the damaged soft tissues and reduce inflammation. He then sent her to his acupuncturist for dry needling from her low back to her feet. After two months of treatment, my mother’s knee dramatically improved. She is now able to walk for longer distances with only mild discomfort. Dr. Kalika clearly knows what he is doing. He did a manual and ultrasound exam before each treatment session, and adjusted her treatment protocol accordingly. My mother is so grateful to Dr. Kalika, and I would recommend him to anyone with knee arthritis.

Dr. Kalika did a very thorough diagnosis on my knee and leg movement and Michael has been an excellent physical therapist. It is great to have the doctor and therapist in the same office to fully treat any conditions. The exercises have built up slowly in a logical way and I feel much better. We have worked on strength and balance from every angle and I am very glad to have found New York Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation & Therapy.

I will try to put a long story short. In February of this year, I broke the wrist and not only broke it but also with an offset. In general, it was impossible to restore without surgery. In March, the operation was performed, and the recovery process began. After about three months, the hand healed, but the mobility was severely limited. Around July, I was referred to New York Dynamic Neuromuscular Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy. These guys are real pros. They found the cause and prescribed treatment, and mobility was almost completely restored after six weeks. So if you had that kind of surgery, you should schedule an appointment ASAP. It will change your life for the better. I can't express how grateful I'm. Thank you so much, doc; you are the best!

My Podiatrist sent me to see Dr. Kalika about three weeks before the marathon that I was determined to run but I had some painful issues with the fascia in both feet. I booked every appointment that I could for ESWT & INDIBA therapy and it has made a major change. Both are pretty intense but they worked and with taping i was able to run the race with very little discomfort. The staff was lovely and Julia is very straight forward and I appreciated her getting me right in. I have already referred Dr. Kalika to my friends. I am very happy to know him! He is very patient and passionate about helping you recover. If there is a need in the future I will not hesitate to go and see him for treatment.

I had such bad neck and back pain that I could hardly sleep. I went to multiple physical therapists, and all of them focused on correcting my posture, which provided zero relief. A colleague finally recommended Dr. Kalika at NYDNRehab. He was the first therapist to tell me that my pain was not caused by poor posture. Dr. Kalika used diagnostic ultrasound and discovered that the fascia in my middle back had been damaged from a car accident several years ago. He used shockwave therapy and referred me to their acupuncturist for dry needling, and my pain completely disappeared in just three days after treatment. The whole experience was great. I could tell that the staff there really loves what they’re doing, and I was really impressed with the sophisticated technology they used for diagnosis and treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Kalika and NYDNRehab.

I was apprehensive about the procedures that Dr Kalika laid out to help me with my TMJ. But I was in a lot of pain so I trusted him. I am amazed to say after five appointments my jaw pain is completely gone, and he and Michelle unlocked some back and neck tightness that I didn’t even know I had. Highly recommend!!

Ater more than 5 years of arm pain, shoulder pain, MRI's, Medications, epidural injections and being told this was a cervical neck issue. Dr Kalika diagnosed biceps tendonitis and muscle issues within the first half hour, that I am completing treatment for. I thank him and the practice for helping me get back on track again with my pain. The physical therapy combined with some shock treatment, and I know I am finally coming out of the dark into the light of pain free body. The practice is wonderful, and it is obvious everyone likes working there and they want to do the best for their patients. I always look forward to my treatments. Thank you!

Dr. Kalika is a godsend. He’s a very patient person who genuinely cares about his patients. He’s one of the most caring doctors I have had the pleasure of having. In a nutshell, I feel fortunate and blessed to have found Dr. Kalika when I did! From April through early August 2021, I had seen 2 orthopedic doctors, 2 chiropractors, 1 physical therapist, 2 acupuncturists, and 1 MFR therapist, to help diagnose and tackle my painful hip/groin pull (acute from a recent injury) and my low back pain (chronic) that left me feeling miserable and incapable of being physically active. After x-rays and a MRI, the ortho doctors tried to give me hydrocortisone shots and said I was a candidate for surgery for a partial tear in my hip labrum. I told them ‘no way, good-bye’! I continued to live with pain, popping 800-1,600 mg of Advil per day, walked with a limp, and started having difficulty with squatting or bending over. Acupuncture was the only temporary fix. I just knew I had to keep looking for answers and found relief after finding Dr. Kalika’s website and watching all of the videos about ultrasound, dry needling and shockwave therapies. I took a leap of faith and called his office. Since Day 1, my treatment has been a personalized, holistic approach at tackling my pain and targeting my ‘real’ health issues. During my first appointment, Dr. Kalika spent a great deal of time using the ultrasound to discover several tendinopathies, issues with my psoas muscle, hamstrings, adductors, and several other muscles in/around my low back that were contributing to my pain and limited mobility. He explained the benefits of shockwave therapy (ESWT) and dry needling. We discussed a treatment plan that included coming in 2-3x per week taking a team approach to tackle my pain and health concerns. It was a big commitment for me to pursue, but I seriously just wanted my life back where I wasn’t struggling with constant pain, completely unable to ride my bike, hike, play with my nephews, or do any of my ‘fun’ physical activities. I am seen by his entire team – Dr. Yo for physical therapy (2-3x/week), Dr. Agyakwah for soft tissue and myofascial release (1-2x/week), and Tatiana for dry needling acupuncture (1x/week). I have had 4 weeks of shockwave therapy. All of these combined therapies are magically working together to help me feel better. This comprehensive, holistic approach is relieving my pain and has helped increase my mobility and flexibility. It is remarkable! His team, to include Julia (she’s the best, thank you for everything), is absolutely wonderful. They go the extra mile to make sure all is well during and after my treatments. I’m on a healing journey and recognize the healing will continue over the next 2-3 months from the shockwave therapy. I will post an update in a month or so on my progress as I continue with my weekly treatments. In closing, Dr. Kalika and his team always take the time to explain things to me in terms that I can understand. He’s diligent in making sure my health is the best it can be. He’s proactive, curious, and always asking me – how do you feel today – show me where it hurts. He won’t stop until he discovers the root cause of your health issues. He helped solve my mystery, which is a huge relief in knowing I do not need hip surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Kalika to anyone seeking a kind, compassionate, and brilliant doctor! You will not be disappointed. Thank you Dr. Kalika and Team :)

Great professionals who helped treat several chronic knee and ankle issues I was having. As a result, I feel much better than I have in years, regarding these problems, and have greater insight into the underlying causes. Would certainly recommend.

Absolutely THE BEST for physical therapy. Dr. Kalika and his team find and treat the root causes with talented staff and state-of-the art technology. Before I found NYDN, I had only sub-par experiences with others that treated symptoms but did not solve my problems. Highly recommended!

I was in a limousine accident almost 3 years ago. I’ve been suffering from chronic neck and back pain and spasms. I saw 3 physiatrists, 5 physical therapists, 3 acupuncturists, 2 chiropractors and 2 neurologists. I found Dr. Shawn Volney on Zocdoc who recommended me to Dr. Kalika. After just 2 sessions of shockwave therapy and one of dry needling I started getting relief. I was able to stop the pain killers and reduce the use of heating pads. At this rate, I’m confident I’ll be pain free by the end of the treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Kalika.

I went to see Dr. Kalika proactively prior to running my first marathon. He was so knowledgeable and really helped to prep my body to train injury free. I did shockwave and radial therapy (I think!) for about 3 months and it helped keep my body in shape and prevent further hip pain. I also began to do PT with Mike and he was also super knowledgeable and helped to educate me on what I needed to do. Super effective - would recommend!!

Dr Kalika and his staff are absolutely wonderful professionals and I'm thrilled that I finally found them! After years of living with shoulder pain and being told by a variety of doctors and therapists that there was no diagnosis and no way to help, Dr. Kalika was able to diagnose the cause of my pain and develop a course of therapy that has meaningfully improved my condition and quality of life. I have experienced manual therapy, graston technique, strength training, ultrasound guided dry needling, accupunture, electro therapy and more all in the effort to address my pain and retrain my body. It has been phenomenally thoughtful and impactful. They take a holistic and educated approach to healing and strengthening. The staff and practitioners listen and are very well trained in their craft. I would recommend them to anyone and I'm so lucky to have discovered them.

My plantar fascitis is GONE. Dr. Kalika treated me with shock wave therapy. Visits with an orthopedist with 2 cortisone injections did nothing to heal me. Thanks to NYDN I am pain free for the first time in six months.

Had a great experience. Came in for a gait analysis and I received a lot of attention to figure out exactly what was wrong. I discovered things that other doctors had been scratching their heads over for years. Even though I had to leave town, the doc gave me a referral for other doctors he recommends and sent a follow up email. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I went to three different doctors for my knee pain, and all they did was give me steroid shots and sent me to cookie cutter physical therapy . My knee pain just kept getting worse. Dr. Kalika used regenerative therapy with focused shockwave, magnetic wave and very sophisticated physical therapy . In two month my knee pain is completely gone! Very attentive doctor with good bed side manner , who loves what he does and very excited to keep digging until the puzzle comes together. His diagnostic skills with ultrasound are just superb. Best knee pain therapy EVER. Give him a try!

When my general practitioner referred me to NYDNRehab for low back pain physical therapy I was skeptical. I had been struggling with low back pain for a couple of years, and I couldn’t see how physical therapy could help. Boy, was I surprised! The one-on-one personal treatment I received was amazing! Dr. Kalika used a combination of shockwave therapy, ultrasound guided dry needling and physical therapy to eliminate pain and inflammation and balance the muscles in my low back and pelvic region. He also did some chiropractic manipulation on my spine. My back pain is completely gone, and I learned tons about preventing it in the future. I highly recommend this clinic!

Great staff! They were all very friendly and took time to explain the different physical therapy techniques they were using. I also got a quick diagnosis (~20 min) and the first session brought immediate relief. My lower back and hip have been feeling less tight with each visit

After going to over 15 Physical therapists and multiple Doctors including an NFL hip and and NFL ankle doctor with 0 improvement, I finally found Dr. Lev K and Daniella who are hands down the best and most experienced at diagnosing the root cause and providing me a plan for rehabilitation. The reason they were so successful is they evaluated my entire kinetic chain via a gait analysis in video, ultrasound, and many more techniques, while providing me pathways to rehabilitate hip and ankle. I came in with daily pain, and now I live a pain free life. Highly recommend for anyone who’s tried traditional PT and not seen improvement.

I was very satisfied with the initial examination conducted by Dr. Kalika, which was detailed and comprehensive. I initially sought help for a stiff neck and pain that was affecting my gait and mobility. Additionally, I was experiencing left shoulder pain with limited movement and more. The prescribed treatment protocols, which included Shockwave therapy and EMTT, were designed to provide regeneration and relief. Halfway through the treatment, my shoulder has remarkably improved. I can now lift it, use it, and even sleep on my left side for the first time in years. As for my neck, I've noticed progressive improvement in mobility and much less pain. Needless to say, I am extremely pleased with the results. Dr. Kalika's dedication and passion for healing are evident in the way he approaches his patients, and it's not surprising that I've seen such positive results. The kindness and professionalism of the staff at the clinic also contributed to my overall positive experience. I highly recommend Dr. Kalika and his team for their exceptional care and effective treatment methods.

I found Dr. Kalika after researching alternative treatments for lower back pain, as I was not willing to take the long-term risks of the standard steroid injections. He treated me over a period of a couple of months with shockwave therapy. Although insurance did not cover the cost, I am thrilled to report that the treatment was hugely successful. I am hugely grateful for Dr. Kalika's help. I also received PT for achilles tendonitis from Michael, who works with Dr. Kalika. Michael is an exceptional Physical Therapist and his help has been wonderful. It would be remiss of me not to mention that Dr. Kalika's staff are all so kind and caring. It is refreshing to find such caring group of health care professionals.

I have been suffering with a shoulder condition for several years. And sought prior help with no luck. My experience with Dr Kalika was life changing with the first treatment, once the treatment was established. I am pain free, my shoulder and motion is better than it's been in years. Even my neck is better than it's been in years. Definitely worth the 5 stars times ten!

After four years of unsuccessful diagnoses and treatments by orthopedists, neurologists and a spinal surgeon for a weak leg condition resulting in a limp, I found Dr. Kalika's website online and decided to give him a try. His use of ultrasonography and ESWT and EMTT technology to diagnose and treat my condition has resulted in the strengthening of my leg and virtual elimination of my limp. I would highly recommend Dr. Kalika and his staff.

After a referral from my doctor, I went to Dr.Kalika for shockwave therapy. Seemed odd at first, but it really did help me! This gave me enough physical relief to then do physical therapy with Daniela Escudero, which has been amazing. Front desk is helpful and communicative, everyone is kind and happy to explain various aspects of your treatment. I'm happy with my service here and would recommend to others.
