Your body’s tissues are equipped with their own innate healing mechanisms, perfectly designed to self-repair and regenerate. But multiple factors can slow or prevent the healing process, prolonging your pain and physical dysfunction. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses high-pressure acoustic waves to stimulate and accelerate tissue healing and repair.
But not all “shockwaves” are created equal. EPAT technology is often advertised as shockwave therapy, but it uses low energy mechanical waves that have very minimal regenerative effects because they are not sound waves like shockwaves. While EPAT can be beneficial for trigger points , fascial release it does not stimulate tissue repair to an extent of focused shockwaves.
True shockwaves have unique mechanisms of action that trigger a cascade of biological reactions, to repair tissues at the cellular level. Shockwave therapy is especially effective for healing avascular tissues like tendons and fascia.

Why Shockwave Therapy and NYHIRehab is Superior to Shockwaves Offeredat Most Clinics
At NYIHRehab, we use three different shockwave machines for focused, defocused, linear and radial shockwave therapy, to target different tissue types.
focused
radial
piezowave linear
Most injuries involve multiple tissues, potentially affecting a combination of muscles, tendons, fascia, ligaments, bones, nerves and blood vessels.
Each type of shockwave has its own advantage over the others, to address different tissue types. Our multi-modal approach to shockwave therapy allows us to vary the depth and width of penetration, zoom in to focus on specific tissues, and zoom out to cover larger areas.
High-Resolution Ultrasonography Ensures Accuracy
At NYIHRehab, we use the most advanced high-resolution ultrasound equipment for on-site imaging, giving us a clear picture of your injury on your very first visit.
Ultrasound is far superior to outdated imaging technologies like Xray and MRI that only provide static images.
Dr. Kalika is an expert in musculoskeletal ultrasonography, with 25 years of experience and multiple scientific papers to his credit. High-resolution ultrasound imaging provides us with a cutting-edge tool for diagnosis and treatment. Not only does it give us crystal-clear images of your tissues in real time, but it enables us to guide shockwave and needling procedures with accuracy and precision.

Experience the Benefits of Real Shockwave Therapy in NYC
Multimodal shockwave therapy guided by ultrasound imaging is only offered in a handful of private clinics nation-wide.
EPAT technology can help with pain and inflammation, but does not help repair slow-to-heal tissues like tendons and
fascia. Only true shockwaves activate your body’s healing mechanisms at the cellular level.
