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.
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.

CHATHAM, NJ -- Captain Tom Salvas served in the U.S. Air Force for more than five years in the previous century. But the Chatham Township resident has never stopped serving the public.
In addition to his duties as a member of the Mayors Wellness Committee and the Senior Citizens Advisory Committee, Salvas has taken on a more personal endeavor the last two years in memorializing the first-hand accounts of Chatham veterans in the "Veterans Project" for the Library of the Chathams.
A photographer and video producer, Salvas was on hand, along with those who have told him their personal stories of service, at Monday night's Borough of Chatam Council meeting, where Chatham residents were recognized with a proclamation for "Military Appreciation Month".

Tom Salvas talks about the common thread of "commitment to serve" he has heard from Chatham military veterans
Appearing at the meeting to be recognized were Rick Loock, staff sergeant U.S. Air Force with service in Vietnam; Joel Boroff, captain U.S. Army in Vietnam; Justin Strickland, captain U.S. Army in Iraq; John Crouthamel, first lieutenant U.S. Army in Vietnam, Jack Conlan, corporal U.S. Marine Corps, 1956 to 1959.
In other business, the council unanimously adopted the 2023 municipal budget. Council member Jocelyn Mathiasen said that it's a "confusing year" when it comes to the budget because of the revaluation of homes in her remarks below.
After receiving a surprise announcement of a 20% premium increase in healthcare insurance in January, the council took two measures on Monday night to improve its healthcare benefits situation. The council voted to terminate its relationship with the State Health Benefit Plan and then voted to join the North Jersey Municipal Employee Benefits Fund in order to receive a more competitive premium rate.

There was plenty of food, drink and music for everyone to enjoy, including the music of "Chatham Unplugged" (see below) band consisting of Sal Arnuk, Bobby "Tambo" Maloney, Mike McLaughlin and Chris Tomaino.
"It's a very unique situation to have such a dedicated volunteer fire department and for it to have gone on for 125 years," Carolyn Dempsey, Chatham Borough Council member, said.
"We are so lucky as a borough. It's right that we celebrate that spirit of volunteerism in such a grand way. It's great to see the community come out and celebrate the fire department."

CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham Borough has scheduled an information session about the upcoming fee change for garbage collection, which is set to take effect next year.
The information session will be held on Tuesday, May 9, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Borough Hall in the Council Chambers.
The detailed meeting will also include feedback from the vendor who will supply the various-sized garbage bins as well as DPW personnel. According to Council member Jocelyn Mathiasen, there will also be plenty of time for questions and answers at the meeting.
Due to a number of issues with the borough's green bag program, officials said the garbage collection program will soon undergo several changes.
Those changes include:
In just three years, the cost of the green-bag collection program has increased by over 70 percent. Other issues that the borough has identified with the current program include the current labor shortage, safety concerns with manual garbage collection, difficulties with the supply and quality of green bags and the risk of animals getting into those bags.
In a survey given to all residents, 70 percent of those who responded agreed that the borough should discontinue the green bag program if it costs more than an alternative option.
At the April 10 Chatham Borough Council meeting, Mathiasen gave an update on the upcoming fee change for garbage collection. Under the new system, a 64-gallon garbage bin would cost $482, versus $564 with green bags. The smallest bin, which holds 35 gallons, would cost $259 instead of $374.
A separate category was also created with the borough's senior citizens in mind, according to Mathiasen. Under the senior category, a senior who uses the 35-gallon bin every other week would pay $130 for the entire year.
Residents are currently billed annually for solid waste and quarterly for water and sewer. The borough is considering a quarterly billing program in which residents would receive a single bill with three sections: water, sewer and solid waste.
This would eliminate the borough's need to bill residents separately for solid waste and allow residents to pay this bill quarterly rather than once a year.
Monthly bulk waste collection will continue as normal, officials said.
The bulk program has always had restrictions, but they haven't been strictly enforced in recent years, the borough said. Due to rising disposal costs, the borough has asked the vendor to strictly enforce existing bulk limitations and only pick up what is permitted under the bulk program.
Officials expect the new garbage system to be operational in 2024.
As part of an effort to meet new stringent water service line requirements, Chatham Borough is compiling an inventory of all water lines. CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham's Department of Public Works will compile an inventory of all water lines serving homes as part of an effort to meet new stringent requirements regarding water service lines.This inventory is the first step in a 10-year project to identify and replace lead or galvanized water lines, which is a requirement for all water utilities in the state under New Jersey Depa...
CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham's Department of Public Works will compile an inventory of all water lines serving homes as part of an effort to meet new stringent requirements regarding water service lines.
This inventory is the first step in a 10-year project to identify and replace lead or galvanized water lines, which is a requirement for all water utilities in the state under New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection regulations.
The inventory will be used to establish priorities for service line replacement, with the areas with the most lead service lines being addressed first.
Another aspect of determining priority is cost reduction through the consolidation of projects involving the opening of roads and sidewalks, as well as the simultaneous replacement of multiple service lines in one area.
Serious health issues can arise from lead exposure, which can come from sources like drinking water. Lead can pass from a pregnant woman to her developing fetus due to previous high lead exposure or exposure while pregnant. If a mother is exposed to lead during her pregnancy, her chances of miscarriage increase.
Adults who have been exposed to lead may have problems with their hearts, kidneys, blood pressure, the likelihood of developing hypertension and reproduction.
Lead is not normally found in drinking water at its source. It is typically introduced into drinking water through lead-containing service lines, plumbing, and fixtures, which corrode and leach into the water over time.
Lead content in pipes, fixtures, solder, water temperature, pH, and hardness are all factors that influence how much lead leaches into the water.
"We regularly test our water for lead and other contaminants and have had no issues in over ten years. Our drinking water is of exceptional quality - some of the safest in the state," Chatham Borough’s DPW director Tony Torello said.
The borough is sending a letter to all residents asking them to look at their service lines and submit information on the materials used via email or a form in order to compile the inventory.
Residents who need assistance locating their service lines or identifying the material should contact DPW directly, officials said.
"While it is important to ensure that our water remains absolutely safe and to stay on top of our infrastructure, this project and this timeline do amount to a large, unfunded mandate from the state," council member Jocelyn Mathiasen said. "Also, because we run our own water system, we can’t just pass this problem on to a private utility."
The new water utility program will also be formally discussed at the next Chatham Borough Council meeting, which is scheduled for Mar. 13.
Patrick K. Cole, Vice President at H2M Architects + Engineers, is assisting the Borough with the program and will be speaking to the council at the Monday meeting.
"The borough has an excellent track record in terms of water quality, and they are being proactive in beginning this process now," Cole said.

To the Editor:
This is in response to a Chatham Courier article dated Thursday 2/23/23 (“Residents levy worries over sharing River Road tax revenue”; in both print and online editions).
The article concerns the Payment in Lieu of Taxes (“PILOT”) item with respect to the River Road Redevelopment initiative (at corner of Watchung Avenue and River Road in Chatham Borough). In particular, it concerns the possible future conveyance of some PILOT monies by the Chatham Borough Council to the School District of the Chathams (whether beginning with the CY 2023 budgetary process or sometime thereafter).

My comments pertain exclusively to procedure, governance and accountability between the Chatham Borough Council and the residents of Chatham Borough. They in no way address the substantive proposed uses of the referenced PILOT monies over time by either the Chatham Borough Council (CBC). on behalf of its constituents or by the School District of the Chathams (SDOC) on behalf of its constituents.
Synopsis of comments below is provided immediately below.
Addressing the items above in somewhat more detail, I suggest that SDOC and CBC, respectively, take the following four actions.
1. SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CHATHAMS
2. THE CHATHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL
3. THE CHATHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL
4. THE CHATHAM BOROUGH COUNCIL
Perhaps my suggestions above are ”…[not] representative of attitudes in the borough at all…” [per CBC member J. Mathiasen in above-referenced Chatham Courier article]. I think otherwise but I may well be mistaken.
If I am indeed mistaken per Ms. Mathiasen then so be it and I would fully respect Chatham Borough residents’ expansive view of representative democracy as well as their substantial deference to the actions of their elected representatives. Related, and on behalf of all other residents of Chatham Township (particularly those who are current or future students in SDOC), I would then like to thank in advance both CBC and the residents of Chatham Borough for their generosity toward SDOC in the form of anticipated voluntary PILOT payments in the coming years.
