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 – 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.

BUTLER — On Saturday, Naz Oliver will gather together with his family and bury his grandmother. On Friday night, the Shabazz head football coach gathered with his football family and won a championship.
Oliver, in his first season at Shabazz, saw the Bulldogs navigate numerous transfers and late season uncertainty into a 40-13 win over Butler in Friday's North 2, Group 1 sectional final.
"It means everything," Oliver said. "We've been through so much. We know all of the doubters slept on us all year but that as the season went on, nobody could beat us. We've proven that now."
Shabazz scored on its second drive with a 7-yard touchdown run by Bi'Shay Sanders on the final play of the first quarter. A two-point conversion gave Shabazz an 8-0 lead after one quarter. Shabazz kept the pressure on offensively as Zairean McDonald's 36-yard touchdown run made it a 14-0 lead with exactly eight minutes left before halftime.
In the second half, Butler came flying out the gate with a methodical drive down the field. Matt Barile capped the drive off with a 1-yard touchdown run. The extra point was short, but pulled the lead to within 14-6. However, that's as close as Butler would get. Daveion Porter's 52-yard touchdown run gave Shabazz a 20-6 lead after three quarters.
In the fourth quarter, Butler struck one more time with a Bobby Battipede touchdown pass to PJ Coffey and trailed 20-13 with 11:24 to go. However, Shabazz put the game out of reach.
Running clock late, Nazir Smith surprised the Butler defense with a 38-yard touchdown pass to Nyad Walker, growing the lead to 26-13. As Butler tried to answer, an interception led to a short field and a 4-yard Rahmir Jackson touchdown run. McDonald added a 72-yard touchdown run late to put the game out of reach.
Shabazz began the season 1-2 as a lot of new pieces found their places. Oliver, a standout at St. Peter's Prep, had eight players transfer from his alma mater in the offseason. Not only did they sit out, but the team as a whole had to gel together.
"There was a lot of individualism when we first came together," Oliver said. "We had guys who were selfish and we went through adversity. The losses turned this team into what it is. The wins were great, but the losses were what we really held on to."
The result came with Shabazz's first sectional title since going undefeated in 2017. All of this success for the Bulldogs after being on the bubble of the Group 1 playoff picture entering their season finale against Glen Ridge.
Shabazz won to stay in the playoff picture and then took a sectional title as the No. 6 seed in the bracket. The Bulldogs, along with West Morris, are the lowest seeds to win sectional championships in the state.
"We were out of the playoffs after Week 9," Oliver said. "We were preparing for Butler in the first round [as a No. 8 seed], so seeing them in the final meant we were already ready for this game."
Butler's season ends with a 9-2 record as one of the NJIC's top teams. One regular season loss kept the Bulldogs out of the NJIC playoffs, but gave them a top seed in the North 2, Group 1 bracket. Butler finishes the season with at least nine wins for the first time since 2018, when they won 10 games and played for a regional title at MetLife Stadium.
While the scoreboard shows a convincing win by Shabazz, a few controversial calls loomed large over the game.
Following Shabazz's touchdown to end the first quarter, a bad snap on the extra point attempt forced Shabazz to throw for a two-point conversion. The pass was hauled in by freshman Karriem Coston in the end zone, but there was a problem: Coston was the long snapper on the play. With jersey No. 10, complaints by the Butler sideline did not force a reversal by officials.
"I was given no explanation as to how that two-point conversion stood," Butler coach Jason Luciani said. "Literally every person in the stadium saw the snapper wearing an ineligible number and catching a forward pass in the end zone with other ineligible numbers around him."
Porter's long touchdown run near the end of the third quarter also came with some controversy. Porter was spun around on the play near the 25-yard line, but never marked down by officials. Players on the field stopped when a whistle was heard on the Butler sideline, but officials suggested the whistle did not come from any of them.
Those two plays in particular resulted in eight Shabazz points to go along with other calls throughout the game that Butler players and coaches disagreed with. The frustration on the Butler sideline was clear throughout Friday's championship game.
"I don't like to criticize officials. I don't want this to come across as sour grapes. We like to think of ourselves as a disciplined football team that doesn't make mistakes," Luciani said. "We have been that all season and now we are in the state final and now we are being told we are making these mistakes we haven't made all year. It's a tough pill to swallow and it's hard to be told you've done something wrong when you haven't."
Shabazz will head to Mountain Lakes for next week's Group 1 state semifinals.
The Herd won Friday's North 1, Group 1 sectional final, defeating Hawthorne, 35-14. Mountain Lakes competed reached last season's Group 1 championship game at Rutgers, falling to Woodbury.

Seton Hall has taken another step toward the NCAA Tournament, and may have knocked another Big East team out of the running in the process.
The Pirates defeated Butler, 76-64, at the Prudential Center on Saturday, marking their third consecutive victory and fifth win in their last six games. The victory bumps Seton Hall (18-9, 11-5) to 8-7 in Quadrant 1/2 games, moves it into a tie for third place in the Big East standings with No. 15 Creighton, guarantees it will finish with a winning record in league play and puts it within striking distance of locking up a March Madness bid.
Seton Hall enters a brutal week that features road trips to Omaha on Thursday and Storrs on Sunday afternoon with a chance to essentially clinch a postseason spot: Upset the Bluejays or No. 1 UConn and the Pirates will almost certainly be dancing. Even if they go 0-2, victories in its final two home games against Villanova (which lost by 24 points to the Huskies on Saturday) and DePaul (which is ranked 306th on KenPom) will put them comfortably in the field.
Seton Hall was led by senior guard Al-Amir Dawes (19 points on 7-of-16 shooting), junior forward Dre Davis (20 points on 9-of-13 shooting) and junior guard Kadary Richmond (20 points on 8-of-16), who contributed 59 of its 74 points (79.7%). It overcame a flurry of threes from Butler (16-12, 7-10), which knocked down 12 of its 33 attempts (36.4%) but it was not enough to win a crucial contest for its NCAA Tournament hopes.
Seton Hall led for the final 39 minutes, taking an early 16-3 lead and nursing it through the end. As the Pirates knocked down seven of their first 13 attempts, Butler missed 10 of its first 11 shots and committed five turnovers in its first 13 possessions. The Bulldogs spent the rest of the half chipping at the deficit, cutting it to 37-32 at the break thanks to hot three-point shooting (40%, 8-of-20), especially from former St. John’s guard Posh Alexander (3-of-5) and center Jalen Thomas (2-of-2).
Seton Hall’s remained in the single digits for the first 10 minutes of the second half, the visitors keeping themselves in the game with timely shots and the Pirates allowing them to stick around with costly mistakes (seven turnovers in their first 20 second-half possessions). But the hosts took control thanks to an elite defensive stretch in which it held Butler without a field goal for seven minutes and 55 seconds, building its lead to double-digits with four minutes to play and hanging on from there.
