Here at Denville Medical, our commitment is to you and your health. We are committed to improving your quality of life by effective treatment and therapy, catered specifically to your needs. Unlike some of our competition, we take a team approach to your treatment plan working together as a unit to provide the best possible care for our patients.
It's easy to start your healing journey at Denville Medical. It all starts when you contact our office to make an appointment. From there, we set you on a course to recovery through a three-step process:
Meet the Doctor: During your initial doctor consultation, we will talk at length about what challenges you're currently facing. From there, we will speak about your goals and what you want to accomplish together. The first conversation with your doctor is crucial and lays the groundwork for a life-changing experience at Denville Medical.
Craft a Customized Treatment Plan for Your Recovery: Some medical and rehabilitation centers in New Jersey apply the same treatments to all patients, regardless of their needs and goals. At Denville Medical, we don't subscribe to the "one size fits all" model. Instead, we rely on our seasoned team of doctors and physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and specialists to find the right solution to your unique situation.
Start Feeling the Relief: Our hard work and commitment to recovery will pay off through our personalized work together. With the help of our skilled doctors and chiropractors, you can finally start living the life you want to live - all on your own terms.
At Denville Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center, we are proud to provide holistic and wellness care that changes lives. Whether your body needs Chiropractor, physical therapy, acupuncture, or needs to see a specialist, we can help.
Here are just a few of the customized therapy services we offer to help our patients live with passion and confidence:
At Denville Medical, your licensed physical therapist's goal is to maximize your body's structure and increase its overall function for long-term health. To accomplish this, our physical therapists combine traditional and innovative techniques focused on increasing muscle strength and improving the body's range of motion. Our goal is to discover the root cause of your pain or mobility problems. That way, we can address the true reason why you need physical therapy, and work towards achieving long-lasting relief.
Of course, we understand that every patient is different. Your doctor can provide expert care in an encouraging environment by creating a customized treatment plan for you using modern, evidence-based research.
Chiropractor is a common service offered at Denville Medical, often combined with our physical therapy, sports medicine, and acupuncture treatments. When delivering a whole wellness and body approach, chiropractic treatments generally focus on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Our chiropractor's primary focus is to aid in adjusting your body's proper structure by improving nerve function and removing imbalances.
Our goal is to work together as a team to get you maximum medical improvement. To determine which chiropractic techniques and treatments are suitable for you, our chiropractors will conduct an initial evaluation to dig deep into your medical history, previous treatments, diagnostic tests, and current conditions. During your first consultation, be sure to ask any questions you may have. Once we agree on your customized chiropractic program, we will begin treatment as soon as possible.
Our patients typically feel relief during their initial visit. Although a reduction in pain is not an indication that the condition is gone, relief is the first step. As the chiropractor adjusts and manipulates your spine and joints, many feel a sense of relief as circulation is restored. A number of our patients admit to experiencing an increased range of motion after their first visit and increased function as they continue their care.
A single migraine can ruin your entire day. Migraines stem from irregular muscle contractions in the neck and head area. Anything from loud music to a bright computer screen can trigger these painful headaches. Fortunately, your chiropractor may be able to help provide an escape from the pain without surgery or drugs. Migraine symptoms include:
After speaking with your Doctor of Chiropractic, he or she may recommend treatments like trigger point therapy, which is a neuromuscular massage. Trigger point therapy boosts blood flow and releases pressure from compressed nerves in your body.
Whether you work in an office 40 hours a week or have to lift heavy items in a warehouse, neck pain is common across all people and professions. Neck pain is debilitating and can be caused by a range of issues like poor posture, work injuries, and harmful sleeping positions. These issues often strain your neck muscles. If you notice any of these symptoms, it could be time to consult with a chiropractor:
Chiropractor helps by relieving nerve and disc pressure. These nerves and discs are located between your vertebrae. After identifying the underlying cause of your pain, your chiropractor may use a combination of treatments to provide relief.
Have you been suffering from sharp pain that shoots down your back to your lower legs? If so, you might have sciatica. Your sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body. Sciatic pain begins when your sciatic nerve is pinched or trapped, or you have underlying conditions like spinal stenosis or a herniated disc. Symptoms of Sciatica often include:
Proper Chiropractor can relieve your pain in a gentle, natural way. Since your pain is unique, your treatment plan should be too. Therapies include ultrasounds to reduce swelling, cold therapies to minimize inflammation, and adjustments to restore your vertebrae's alignment.
Joint pain from conditions like Arthritis can strip the joy out of simple activities that we enjoy every day. Fortunately, if you're looking for a non-invasive way to ease joint pain, your chiropractor may be able to help. Great Chiropractor will maximize the functionality of your joints with techniques like ultrasounds, cold laser therapies, and joint manipulation. Usually caused by various forms of Arthritis, age, and injuries, symptoms of joint pain include:
If joint pain affects your daily life, contact a licensed chiropractor to begin treatment ASAP. Your chiropractor will develop a customized plan around your pain to address the root cause of your discomfort.
Our hips serve many functions, from bearing weight to running. Since they're engaged in just about every way we move, hip problems can have serious consequences. Like neck pain, hip pain is very common â so much so that more than 58% of Americans are living with it, according to the CDC. Hip problems are usually caused by injuries or osteoarthritis, though normal wear and tear over time is also a contributing factor. If you notice any of these symptoms, an appointment with a chiropractor may be in order:
Since any joint in the body can be misaligned, like your hip joint, working with a chiropractor could be best for long-term relief. Any joint in the body can be out of alignment, including the hip joint, and it can cause severe pain, discomfort, and limited range of motion. Treatments in your personalized plan may include chiropractic adjustments, stretching, and exercise therapy.
Your spine comprises a litany of moving parts that must work together for healthy mobility. Spinal discs are just one of these parts, which act as cushions between your vertebrae. When you have a herniated disc, the bones in your spine grind against each other, causing intense pain. Also called a slipped disc, this back problem is very common and can be caused by wear and tear with age or traumatic events like car accidents. Keep an eye out for the following symptoms of a herniated disc:
After your chiropractor evaluates your spine for overall functionality, they will develop a personalized treatment plan for ongoing care. Common treatments for herniated discs include spinal manipulation techniques like flexion-distraction and therapeutic exercises.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is designed to relieve nerve compression in the spine. This gentle stretch helps relieve pressure and realign the spine in order to reduce those unbearable symptoms. In addition, once the spine is properly aligned, blood flow will increase, reducing swelling and inflammation of the problem area. This then allows the body to be more mobile, or, as a provider will say, increases your range of motion, for easier movement and functionality of the body.
Methods of Spinal Decompression Therapy include:
Keep in mind, Spinal Decompression Therapy is not for everyone. Diagnostic tests, such as an x-ray, MRI or Ct-scan are required for a proper and full examination.
At Denville Medical, we aim to serve you with long-lasting quality of life through personalized chiropractic treatments in New Jersey. The path to a pain-free life begins with a customized treatment plan tailored to your body and needs. We start with your first evaluation, where our experts dig deep into your medical history, current condition, your overall health goals and perform diagnostic tests. From there, we'll create your plan and help you hit your milestones every step of the way until your quality of life is improved.
If you're sick and tired of living with painful limitations, we're here to help you break free. No surgery. No addictive medicine. Only comprehensive Chiropractor, crafted with health and happiness in mind.
Answer : While some chiropractors rely on outdated techniques to treat patients, our team uses a combination of tried-and-true methods and modern strategies, including:
Answer : During your first visit with our physical therapist, we will complete a series of tests and screenings to establish a baseline for your care. You can expect to complete stability screenings, strength tests, and computerized range of motion tests. These tests ensure your doctor understands how your muscles are functioning. Once complete, your therapist will create a custom treatment plan for your physical therapy, so we can move forward with your care. During your time at Denville Medical, you should expect adjustments to your treatment plan as you make progress.
Answer : We get this question a lot, and we can certainly understand why. Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with an exact answer because every patient has different needs relating to their injuries and issues. Your level of stability and functionality depends on your condition, your goals, and your motivation to heal. For acute pain, patients typically experience relief in 2-3 weeks. Patients with forms of chronic pain usually feel optimal results after their first full course of therapy (4-6 weeks). Since our goal is to achieve maximum medical improvement, our doctors continuously monitor your progress and adjust treatment accordingly.
If we could offer you one piece of advice, it would be not to settle for mediocre medical treatment and therapeutic options. If you're looking for a team of doctors and therapists who work together and take an interdisciplinary approach to healing, Denville Medical & Sports Rehabilitation is here for you. Contact our office today to learn more about how we can help you achieve your chiropractic goals and live your life, pain-free.

Personnel at Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) and its parent company, FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) are prepared to respond to potential service interruptions caused by a winter storm system expected to bring high winds, snow and heavy rain to portions of FirstEnergy’s service areas in New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia this week.
A video playlist of utility personnel discussing the impact of wind storms on equipment and restoration efforts is available on YouTube.
Company meteorologists have been tracking the storm for several days. The system is expected to bring the following conditions to each state:

Wade Smith, President of FirstEnergy Utilities: “While we invest in our electric system throughout the year to keep power flowing to customers in all weather conditions, the combination of high winds; heavy, wet snow and rain carries the potential for power outages and presents challenges for our crews during repair efforts. We are vigilantly monitoring both the current storm system and the forecasted severe weather over the next week, and we are committed to taking every necessary step to ensure safe and prompt restoration of electric service for our customers.”
Sustained winds and heavy rain could slow restoration efforts, as crews cannot safely operate bucket trucks when wind speeds exceed 40 miles per hour. Saturated soil and flooding can also hinder access and create hazardous conditions for crews as they work to make repairs to lines and equipment damaged by fallen trees and branches.
After a major weather event, hundreds or even thousands of damage locations, including broken poles and downed power lines, are common. FirstEnergy personnel prioritize clearing hazards like downed power lines, trees and blocked roads to ensure public safety. Employees must also assess the damage to enable line crews to access outage sites and initiate safe repairs. The formal restoration process focuses on addressing widespread outages first, before tackling more isolated issues.
How to Report Power Outages and Downed Lines
Customers who experience a service interruption due to the storm are encouraged to report their outage by calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877), texting OUT to LIGHTS (544487) or clicking the “Outages” link on firstenergycorp.com.
FirstEnergy customers can sign up to receive email and text message alert notifications for updates after they've reported a power outage. Customers can also use two-way text messaging to report outages, request updates on restoration efforts and make other inquiries about their electric accounts. More information about these communication tools is available at firstenergycorp.com/connect.
High winds and saturated soil can bring down trees and branches onto power lines. Customers should assume all downed or low-hanging power lines are energized and dangerous. Stay at least 30 feet away and use extra caution where downed lines are tangled in trees or other debris. Report downed lines ASAP by calling 911.
For updated information on the company's current outages, the company’s storm restoration process and tips for staying safe, visit FirstEnergy's 24/7 Power Center at firstenergycorp.com/outages.
Customers Encouraged to Prepare in Advance of the Storm
FirstEnergy encourages customers to plan for the possibility of power outages due to the impending storm by following these tips:

In recent years, Morristown has turned its long downtown thoroughfare (South Street, extending past the Morristown Green to Washington Street), from a scattering of small shops and minor eateries into one of the most vibrant Restaurant Rows in northern New Jersey. Its craft beer scene is a strong point. Add the rest of downtown, and your choice of cuisines, price points and atmospheres are multiplied.
Here are our top picks for the best restaurants in Morristown—one of our favorite restaurant towns in New Jersey—in alphabetical order.
Burke, the Hazlet-raised commander of many New Jersey restaurants, in November planted his flag on the historic Morristown Green. (The restaurant made our Best New Restaurants list in February 2022.) The dramatic, high-ceilinged space often thumps with deejayed music. (The Topgolf suites down the hall are inaudible.) The menu matches the ambiance: assertive pastas, pizzas and seafood; Burke’s patented salt-aged beef; his chili-strafed Hipster Fries and marshmallow-filled cookie sliders that may slide into your dreams. —K.T. Harrison67 East Park Place, 973-829-1776
Located in the Westin Governor Morris Hotel, the upscale Blue Morel is about a mile from the Morristown Green, the park that represents the center of town, but has plenty of parking and a veteran kitchen team led by chefs Dennis Matthews and Thomas Ciszak. The dinner menu is largely New American, with a sushi section and raw bar. 2 Whippany Road; 973-451-2619
Burgers rule at the Committed Pig—there are a dozen to choose from. Also popular are the grilled cheese sandwiches, egg dishes, pancakes, pork roll sandwiches and a kids menu. BYO. 28 West Park Place; 862-260-9292
This retro-chic BYO pizzeria’s swaggering, charismatic chef/owner, Nino Coniglio, “grew up a wild kid in Bridgewater,” he says. “Pizza kitchens saved my life.” With his “Cirque du Soleil tricks with pizza dough,” he went on to rack up international trophies for his pies. Chopped appearances and a robust social-media following created wood-fired pizzerias in Brooklyn, then Manhattan, and now, Morristown. Coniglio’s chemical-free menu beguiles with his handcrafted pies, pastas, parms, heroes, salads, rosticcerie (Sicilian snacks), breads, bagels, pastries, and fountain-spritzed Cokes and egg creams. Coniglio, wife Shealyn (a pizza influencer), and baby Penny’s commute is a three-minute stroll across the Morristown Green. “This town is paradise,” he marvels. Pizza paradise, too. —KTH 11 South Street, 973-723-9430
This craft beer bar, with live music on Fridays and Saturdays, offers burgers, flatbreads, wings, salads, entrées and daily specials. It adjoins with Hops, which offers an even wider selection of craft beers along with a smaller menu. 18 Washington Street; 973-540-9601
A classic Irish pub, Grasshopper off the Green has a bar and flatscreens downstairs and a dining room upstairs. Menu highlights include shepherd’s pie, bangers & mash, and fish & chips, plus quesadillas, salads and American dishes. 41-43 Morris Street; 973-285-5150
Occupying the renovated 1918 Vail Mansion, Jockey Hollow has made New Jersey Monthly’s list of Best Restaurants every year since it opened in 2014. Overall, the menu is New American with a specialty in exceptional pastas. The wine and beer lists offer unusual value and variety, and cocktails are excellent. 110 South Street; 973-644-3180
Fresh ingredients, with many choices of add-ons, characterize this casual spot offering poke bowls (fish over rice or salad) or poke burritos, as well as unusually good ramen bowls brimming with rich broth, high-quality noodles and generous amounts of meat and vegetables. BYO. 40 South Park Place; 973-998-9449
The Mehtani family, award-winning restaurateurs, present a high-quality Indian a la carte menu and a lunch buffet at Mehndi in the Headquarters Plaza Building. 3 Speedwell Avenue; 973-871-2323

A large craft beer selection is one of the draws at the handsomely redesigned restaurant (formerly the Office Beer Bar & Grill). There are excellent salads and a solid menu of American favorites, from burgers to flatbreads, wings, entrées and changing regional specialties. 3 South Street; 973-285-0220
Potato pancakes are on the menu at the delectable Pierogies House. Courtesy of Pierogies House
Chef/owner Evelina Berc brings the hearty and affordable cooking of Poland, her home country, to soul-stirring life at Pierogies House. The plump pierogies, with a variety of filings, are the heart of the small menu. But the kielbasa is unusually good, and the hearty soups are not to be missed. BYO. 45 Morris Street; 973-432-8270
Like its sister restaurants in Ridgewood and Summit, Morristown’s Roots is an upscale enclave specializing in prime beef, including dry-aged cuts. There’s also seafood entrées and a bevy of classic steakhouse sides. 40 West Park Place; 973-326-1800
Cocktails at SM23 are top-notch. Courtesy of SM23
Having met an inspirational mixologist on a trip to Australia, Shaun Mehtani opened this sophisticated bar and lounge, with a good small plates menu, on his 23rd birthday. Hence the name SM23. A DJ spins tunes on weekends. 3 Speedwell Avenue; 973-871-2323
A seasonal salmon dish at South + Pine makes for a tasty dinner option. Courtesy of South + Pine
A Bobby Flay protégé who ran several of his top kitchens, chef Leia Gaccione has proven herself a star in her own right with this casual American eatery where the food is relatable, affordable and always touched with imagination and detail that lifts it into super-deliciousness. BYO. 90 South Street; 862-260-9700

From the owners of the landmark Stirling Hotel, the Stirling Tavern offers upscale tavern food and excellent burgers in a vibrant, modern space. The bar boasts a creative cocktail menu and a relevant draft list, with local breweries that are often hosted for special beer dinner events. 150 South Street; 973-993-8066
Opened in 2006 at the beginning of Morristown’s restaurant renaissance, Tashmoo offers a well-stocked bar, a bevy of craft beers, excellent burgers, a menu of American favorites, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. 8 Dehart Street; 973-998-6133
Slightly off the beaten path opposite the Morristown train station, this sleek, comfortable, two-level restaurant offers contemporary American fare and an extensive wine list. The dinner menu includes a raw bar, charcuterie plates and a range of entrées, including potato gnocchi with pesto, lobster puttanesca and marinated flank steak. Check out the upstairs patio year-round. 80 Elm Street; 973-889-8696

MORRISTOWN, NJ — The search continues for Meep, a one-year-old Boston terrier rescue who has been missing since Jan. 1, according to her owner, Summer Sheldrick.
Meep went missing on New Year’s Day after being let out to use the bathroom. According to Sheldrick, Meep got scared by fireworks let off by a close neighbor at 12:15 a.m.
"She got loose and sprinted and never looked back. I was laying in bed ready to go to sleep and by the time I was notified that she got out, she was already so far gone," Sheldrick said.
Meep was last seen on Dorothy Drive.
A $6,000 reward is being offered for her safe return.
Sheldrick and Ryan Hitchcock, who live in Morristown, said that they searched until 7 a.m. the next morning with no luck.
Since then, the couple has posted flyers on every block and in every mailbox and hired multiple search dogs, drone services, and dog rescue groups.
Meep was rescued from a puppy mill and had several health concerns when Sheldrick first adopted her.
"She was a very sick puppy and had pneumonia for weeks. Meep had to have oxygen and use a nebulizer every day. (She still needs her nebulizer.) Recently, she was diagnosed with a luxating patella, is awaiting surgery and takes daily medication," Sheldrick said.
A luxating patella occurs when the kneecap becomes dislocated, either toward the inside or outside of the leg, according to the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.
The search for Meep has been ongoing since her disappearance at the beginning of the month.
According to Sheldrick, Meep has not left her side since she was eight weeks old.
"She is everything to me, and I always used to say I don’t know what I would do without her, and now that I don’t have her, I’m a mess. I wake up crying and I go to sleep crying. I miss her so much, and I’m praying for this nightmare to be over. She is not just a dog to me. She is my family," Sheldrick said.
Sheldrick, in a Facebook post, asked if someone had found Meep to return her. "Whoever you are, you are taking good care of my baby. Do you know that she can only eat from a certain plate due to her smaller trachea? Are you aware that she needs to be eating a certain type of food because she has belly issues and often throws up her food after every meal? When she goes outside for a walk, do you have her favorite pjs to put on her so she doesn’t get cold? No. You do not know these things."
Anyone with information about Meep's location is asked to call (201-400-4397). Meep has been microchipped and spayed; if she is located, she can be recognized via the microchip.

The Morris County Board of County Commissioners joined County College of Morris (CCM) and the Morris School District at a press conference Tuesday to announce the Morristown College Promise (MCP) Program, a partnership committed to helping motivated, low-income middle and high school students and their families by offering free services, such as tutoring and mentoring, while preparing students to go to college.
The kick-off was held at Morristown High School with state, county and local officials and administrators.
"As the community's college, CCM’s college promise programs are designed to ensure all students have access to a great education,” said Dr. Anthony J. Iacono, President of CCM. “CCM, the Morris School District and the community are committed to ensuring more students are college ready, have access and can affordably achieve their educational and career goals."
Morris County Commissioner Director John Krickus joined the event with Commissioners Christine Myers and Stephen Shaw.
“This program is an example of walking the talk in Morris County. It encourages students to not give up and helps them get beyond their obstacles,” said Director Krickus.
“The partnerships like these that CCM has formed, put Morris County on the map and sets the stage for the rest of the state to follow. Setting these young minds on a path while still in high school alleviates the stress and fears of college and encourages them to go further with their education,” said Sen. Anthony Bucco, District 25.
Morristown College Promise is based on a similar program, Dover College Promise, launched by CCM in 2020 and which has helped 19 students through high school and college graduations to date.
“The Morris School District serves a student body that is 35 percent first generation, and the Morristown College Promise Program takes direct aim at removing barriers through practical support systems that help guide students to a successful college experience and future career,” said Dr. Anne Mucci, Superintendent of Schools, Morris School District.
“The partnership between CCM and Morris School District is a significant milestone in our commitment to education and the future of our youth. I am excited to see the transformational efforts of this collaboration and the positive impact it will have on the lives of countless students,” said Angelica Allen-McMillan, Ed.D., Acting Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education.
CCM has been recognized as No. 1 for Best Associate Degrees in the state and Best for Transfer Students in New Jersey by Intelligent. Many of its programs have gained national recognition.
CCM began the Promise Programs in 2020 during the pandemic and looks to continue expanding and partnering with other high schools in Morris County.
“CCM is thrilled to expand into Morristown and MCP would not be possible without community partnerships,” said Iacono.
“We talk about how we are in many ways reformatting post-secondary education to adapt to students’ needs, but there’s no question it remains the best investment we can make by helping students attend college,” said Assemblywoman Aura Dunn, District 25.
CCM gave a special thanks to the Mimi Washington Starrett Foundation as the inaugural funder of the program’s expansion into Morristown and to the Morris School District for welcoming CCM to the high school.
“County College of Morris is a leader in connecting members of the community with available resources so they may thrive in all areas of life. The Mimi Washington Starrett Foundation is very proud to partner with the CCM Foundation in support of the expansion of the College Promise Program into Morristown, helping students and their families realize the potential their future may hold,” said Sarah Ahart, President of Mimi Washington Starrett Foundation.
Questions about MCP can be directed to Julian Gomez, Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and the EOF Program at CCM, (973) 328-5271, [email protected].
