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.

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.

CHATHAM, NJ — On Monday, the Chatham Borough Council officially approved an ordinance exempting the owners of what is now known as The Ivy from paying land taxes.
The ordinance finalized a financial arrangement known as PILOTs—short for Payments In Lieu Of Taxes — between the borough and Chatham River Road Urban Renewal, the owners of the 245-unit luxury apartment complex in Chatham Borough.

PILOT agreements, also known as municipal tax abatements, are deals that enable a developer to switch their standard tax payments for a property to a fixed, yearly payment to the municipality.
Some municipal officials have called them useful tools to attract development to distressed or blighted areas of town. But their use has drawn criticism from opponents, some of whom caution that the deals can enable a big developer to skip out on paying their fair portion of property taxes.
A key aspect of PILOTs is that, unlike traditional property taxes, which are split between the town, school system and county, in a PILOT, the city or town keeps nearly all the money.
On Monday, the borough council finalized an amendment to the initial agreement, allowing for a tax exemption for the land valued at $14 million, removing it from the borough tax books.
Under the initial agreement, the PILOT predictions for the borough's revenue did not include the land tax credit against the PILOT payment.
A 30-year residential PILOT arrangement is typically tax-exempt from land and improvement values. According to the borough, they are unsure as to why this was not done for the original River Road deal, and the attorney who prepared this agreement is retired and no longer practices.
The omission of the land tax would have had a slight effect on the borough's financial projections if the revaluation had not drastically impacted the land value. At the time of the projections, the land value was $2.5 million ($50K in taxes). Since the re-valuation, the land value has increased significantly to $14 million ($217K in taxes).
As a result, instead of getting the anticipated $800,000 in PILOT funds, the borough would receive less than $600,000, borough officials said.
By revising the agreement, the borough's overall assessed value will be reduced by the River Road Development's land value, slightly increasing the tax rate.
According to Chatham Borough CFO Karen Fornaro, the proposed adjustment will essentially hike taxes for borough homeowners by $5 for every $100,000 of assessed land value.
"It's unfortunate that this has caused some consternation, but we're not happy with the advice we got on this matter initially, that has led us to this stage, but we are trying to rectify a situation that we certainly have a right to under state statute," Mayor Thaddeus Kobylarz said.
In the future, the use of the PILOT funds will be determined through the budgeting process, which involves multiple public hearings.
Under the amended agreement, the borough would have more funding available for various purposes:
CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham Borough will phase out its current "Green Bag" waste collection system in favor of a new automated system at the start of next year, with the first phase of the transition commencing this week.The new carts will be delivered to all residents throughout the week, beginning the week of Dec. 11, and will be dropped off at houses throughout the whole week.

CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham Borough will phase out its current "Green Bag" waste collection system in favor of a new automated system at the start of next year, with the first phase of the transition commencing this week.
The new carts will be delivered to all residents throughout the week, beginning the week of Dec. 11, and will be dropped off at houses throughout the whole week. The municipality will also provide literature with extra information about the new program with the bins.
Read More: Future Changes For Trash Collection Discussed By Chatham Council
Starting on Jan. 1, 2024, an automated system in which a mechanical "one-armed bandit" will empty brand-new garbage bins rather than the borough's current green bags.
Since the announcement last year, several residents have spoken out, questioning the decision to transition from the current trash collection system, which is based on "pay as you throw," to an automated system in which a mechanical arm would empty bins into the garbage truck.
Once residents receive their new bins, they can begin using the new carts immediately, but until Dec. 31, they will need green bags in them, officials said.
The financial impact of the shift on the borough's residents was a major source of concern. A worry that officials say is unfounded because the switch will save most borough residents money.
The annual solid waste bill was $374 this year, plus the cost of green bags, a significant increase from the previous year. "Our vendor costs have gone up by more than 70 percent. This is a problem everywhere. It's absolutely crazy right now," Council member Jocelyn Mathiasen said previously.
It is estimated that if the borough had kept the green bag program, the prices would have risen further.
"This program will cost less for the Borough and residents than continuing the green bags program. The new rates replace both your annual solid waste bill and the cost of green bags," the borough said.
Under the new system, a 65-gallon garbage bin would cost $482, versus $564 with green bags. The smallest bin, which holds 35 gallons, would cost $259 instead of $374. There is also a 95-gallon bin, which is suitable for large families and costs $704.
Here is the new schedule, which will go into effect in January:
Monthly bulk waste collection will continue as normal, officials said.
In the event of an occasional surplus of trash, residents will be allowed to place a bag labeled "excess trash" next to their container. The stickers are $3 at Borough Hall and will cover one large (up to a 40-gallon) bag. Residents will be permitted to use the stickers three times per year; if they require more, they must upgrade their cart, officials said.

CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham residents recently received a letter from the School District of the Chathams last month regarding the tax impact of the two independent funding proposals that will be on the November ballot.
The letter explained how the costs connected with the distinct funding options would be split between Chatham Borough and Chatham Township. However, according to the Borough of Chatham, some of that information was not entirely accurate.
“The information on how the cost is allocated between the two districts is accurate,” said Borough Budget and Finance Chair Jocelyn Mathiasen, “But the impact on Borough taxpayers appeared overstated because the school district based these on assessed property values before they were revalued in 2021.”
The borough's properties underwent a state-ordered property revaluation process last year as a way to assess property values and "fairly distribute" taxes throughout the borough.
Jason Cohen of Appraisal Systems, Inc. previously stated that the tax rate could rise, fall, or stay unchanged. He described it as a pie, with the assessment only determining the size of each taxpayer's slice.
The revaluation increased ratables by 45 percent, amounting to $975 million, which has been reflected in the 2023 tax bill.
In Chatham Borough, residents are billed based on last year's taxes for the first two quarters, so this year's tax bill may look different for some homeowners.
For example, a home valued at $690,000 in 2022 that was revalued 40 percent higher to $966,000 will see a $212.87 reduction in taxes overall.
"A lot of people's taxes are going to swing quite a bit in one direction or another. By the third quarter, there will be a huge correction," Mathiasen said. "People whose valuation went up by significantly more than say 45 percent may get a big surprise in the third quarter, and then people who were below the average might find that they already paid the bulk of their taxes for the year."
When it comes to the tax impact from the school district, Mathiasen said that the actual amount will be based on the residents’ current assessment and is considerably less than stated in the letter.
“When valuations go up, tax rates go down,” she explained.
Last year, the school district made the decision to include a referendum on the November election ballot, with the final interpretive statement being submitted to the county clerk's office this summer.
According to Chatham Superintendent Michael LaSusa, the first question will ask voters to authorize an additional $850,000 this year for the building of security vestibules in all of the district's schools, making it a permanent part of the baseline budget, resulting in a 1.23 percent annual increase.
As the increase to the tax levy would remain permanent, that excess of money each year would be used for other safety and security-related projects within the district.
The second question that was presented to the community requests $900,000 to give health care benefits to paraprofessionals and make it a permanent part of the baseline budget, with a 1.30 percent yearly increase.
Because the School District of the Chathams is a regional school district, which simply means that it is made up of more than one municipality, the formula used to apportion taxation is based on the equalized value of property in both municipalities.
The total value of property in the district is determined by adding the values of property in Chatham Borough and Chatham Township. The tax levy determined by the Board of Education is then allocated depending on the proportion of each municipality's total value.
“How the levy costs are split between the Borough and Township is based on equalized values provided by the County,” explained Peter Daquila, Business Administrator for the School District of Chathams.
These numbers are utilized since reassessments in the two towns are frequently out of sync. This formula was devised when the regional school district was formed, and it is typical of how regional school districts share costs.
Based on equalized value, the Township pays 58 percent of education costs, and the Borough pays 42 percent.
If the proposals are approved, the exact tax amounts will be based on the present assessed values of the homes, not the equalized values. Because the Township has not recently completed a revaluation, its assessed values are below market, implying a slightly higher rate.
The below list reflects the costs of the two levies per year if they are passed in November:
Some locals have expressed alarm over the suggestion of a permanent tax increase since the introduction of the second question. The school board has addressed some of those worries, stating that the second question would be growing the base budget rather than the tax levy percentage each year.
"It's not that we are going to add $850,000. It becomes part of the base budget. It's different from a one-time expenditure," board president Jill Weber said.
