• Diplomate of American Board of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
• Credentialed by Academy of Dr. Larisa Likver is also trained in Neural Prolotherapy.

Dr. Larisa Likver is a board-certified physiatrist who has over 20 years of medical experience, specifically pain management, both in New York City and internationally. She has been trained in Prolotherapy by the Hackett-Hemwall Foundation, the leading institution for Prolotherapy education and research, named after the two pioneers who invented and developed this technique in the United States. For over 35 years, the Hackett-Hemwall foundation has hosted a medical missionary trip to Honduras. Dr. Larisa Likver has advanced her expertise in Prolotherapy by participating in this missions in 2014 and 2015, dedicating her time and service to treat people who are otherwise unable to afford medical care. This treatment was created by the New Zealand physician Dr. John Lyftgoft. Dr. Likver attended some of the few global conferences in Neural Prolotherapy to obtain training from Dr. Lyftogt himself. In 2013, Dr. Likver participated in the most comprehensive global conference for Neural Prolotherapy held in Guadelajara, Mexico. Dr. Likver is recognized as a Pioneer by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography. Certification in Musculoskeletal Sonography was first introduced to medical professionals in 2012. Dr. Likver successfully passed this new exam and was among the first to be awarded a Pioneer Certificate. She has nearly 10 years of experience using ultrasound guidance to dramatically improve the outcome of pain-alleviating procedures (Platelets-Rich Plasma or PRP treatment, Prolotherapy, joint visco-supplementation, etc.) through direct and targeted injections. By visualizing the pain-affected area in real-time, Dr. Likver delivers medication precisely where it needs to go.

Fascia is highly innervated and closely connected to the autonomic nervous system, which means stress can physically tighten fascia just as easily as overuse or injury. During the holiday season, increased emotional stress, travel, and disrupted routines can amplify pain conditions due to heightened muscle guarding and nervous system reactivity.

By treating both the nervous system and fascial restrictions through approaches like vagus nerve hydrodissection, breathwork guidance, and targeted soft-tissue therapy, we work to break the cycle of stress-driven pain and restore balance to the body—through the holidays and beyond.

As temperatures drop, fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds and supports every muscle and organ) becomes naturally stiffer due to reduced blood circulation and fluid movement. This can make old injuries feel more pronounced and cause mobility limitations or painful compensatory movement patterns.

Preparing your body for winter is essential: gentle stretching, warm-up routines before activity, and regular soft-tissue mobilization help maintain pliability and prevent strain. If pain or stiffness persists, ultrasound-guided treatments such as fascia hydrodissection can restore healthy glide between tissue layers, improving comfort and movement all season long.

Today marks the International Day of Radiology, a wonderful opportunity to highlight the critical role of diagnostic imaging in better understanding pain. While MRI and X-rays have their strengths, musculoskeletal ultrasound is a highly effective, radiation-free tool that allows real-time visualization of joints, ligaments, fascia, and nerves in motion, right in an office during a consultation. This makes it uniquely suited for diagnosing without a delay and pinpointing soft-tissue injuries, nerve entrapments, etc., which static imaging can miss.

Ultrasound also enhances treatment precision: ultrasound-guided injections ensure that regenerative therapies such as prolotherapy, PRP, fascial or neural hydrodissection are delivered exactly where needed, improving outcomes and patient comfort. At our practice, ultrasound isn’t just a diagnostic tool, it’s a cornerstone of safer, more targeted, and more effective pain treatment.

October is National Physical Therapy Month—an ideal time to highlight the powerful connection between physical therapy and regenerative medicine.

While treatments such as PRP, prolotherapy, or fascia hydrodissection help repair and restore tissues, physical therapy is critical for retraining movement patterns, preventing adhesions, strengthening muscles, and maintaining joint mobility. It’s also important to be consistent with your at-home exercises to see the best results. When combined, regenerative injections and structured rehabilitation often produce superior outcomes compared to either approach alone. Patients regain mobility faster, experience longer-lasting relief, and reduce their risk of recurring injuries.

This Halloween, don’t let chronic pain be the “ghost” that haunts your daily life. Pain is often a signal from the body that something deeper—such as fascia restrictions, nerve irritation, or ligament instability—is contributing to your symptoms. Ignoring it or relying solely on temporary relief won’t make it go away.

Non-surgical solutions like prolotherapy, PRP-prolo, fascia hydrodissection, and others are designed to uncover and address the root cause of pain. By treating the underlying dysfunction, Dr. Likver helps patients move beyond short-term symptom management and toward lasting relief.

The human body is an interconnected system (we all developed from one cell!), and pain is rarely isolated to a single structure. For example, fascia restrictions or nerve entrapments in one area can create symptoms in seemingly unrelated regions. Treating only the site of pain often misses the underlying dysfunction.

Dr. Likver’s approach emphasizes finding and treating the root cause through comprehensive evaluation and targeted therapies such as fascia hydrodissection, prolotherapy, neural therapy, and many others. By addressing the whole system, not just symptoms, she helps patients achieve meaningful and lasting relief.

As families settle into the busy fall season with school and work demands, stress levels often rise. Chronic stress can contribute to pain by increasing inflammation throughout the body as well as disrupting nervous system balance in general and the autonomic nervous system in particular. Dr. Likver offers innovative therapies such as ultrasound-guided Vagus Nerve hydrodissection and neural therapy, which help regulate the autonomic nervous system.

By calming overactive stress responses, these treatments may improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and create a greater sense of calm. Addressing both the physical and neurological aspects of pain allows patients to achieve more comprehensive relief and an overall improvement in quality of life.

Fall is a popular time for scheduling elective surgeries, as patients often prefer to recover before the busy holiday season. However, post-surgical recovery requires more than rest alone. Without proper rehabilitation, scar tissue and internal adhesions can form, limiting mobility and causing chronic pain.

Treatments like fascia hydrodissection, neural therapy, ozone therapy, and others can reduce post-surgical pain and promote tissue healing. Equally important is guided physical activity and therapy to restore movement, strengthen muscles, and retrain the body.

Proactive post-surgical care ensures optimal healing and long-term function, and Dr. Likver can help. Learn more or book a consultation at https://www.drlikver.com

As temperatures drop, many patients notice their pain and stiffness increase. One often-overlooked reason is the role of the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, nerves, and organs. Fascia can become restricted due to inflammation, injury, or even reduced activity during colder months, which leads to tightness, pain, and impaired mobility.

Ultrasound-guided fascia hydrodissection is an innovative treatment offered by Dr. Likver that targets these restrictions by gently separating fascial layers and restoring glide between tissues. By improving circulation, nerve function, and tissue mobility, hydrodissection often provides relief from conditions beyond musculoskeletal pain, including nerve entrapments and chronic, unexplained discomfort.

Releasing fascial restrictions is not just about pain relief; it’s about restoring proper nerve, muscle, and vascular function—like “resetting” the system. Each treatment builds upon the last, giving the body the opportunity to heal, regenerate, and function more optimally. Long-lasting improvement often comes from patience, consistency, and a commitment to treating the underlying cause, not just the symptom.

While some patients may enjoy immediate relief, others find lasting improvement after several sessions. To explore fascial hydrodissection and find a treatment plan that works for your pain, visit https://www.drlikver.com to book a consultation with Dr. Likver, today.

Too often, pain is treated as a surface-level symptom, with medications that only provide temporary relief. But lasting results come from identifying and addressing root causes. Fascial restrictions, nerve entrapments, or joint instability may be at the center of ongoing discomfort.

By using advanced techniques like ultrasound-guided diagnostics, fascia hydrodissection, prolotherapy, and PRP, Dr. Likver uncovers the deeper source of your pain and restores lasting function. The goal is not just pain relief, but long-term healing.

As the weather cools, many patients schedule elective procedures during the fall to recover before winter and the busy holiday season. While surgery may correct structural issues, the post-operative period is just as important for long-term outcomes. Without proper rehabilitation, patients risk developing scar tissue, adhesions, or fascial restrictions that can limit function and cause chronic pain.

Understand the importance of post-surgical tissue mobilization, physical therapy guidance, and regenerative injections (such as prolotherapy, PRP, or fascia hydrodissection) to support recovery. By combining surgical correction with thoughtful rehabilitation like that offered at Dr. Likver's office, patients often return to mobility faster and with better long-term results.
