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.

WEST CHESTER, Pa. – After missing two field goals earlier in the game, sophomore Sean Henry (Reading, Pa.) booted a 34-yarder with 4:34 left in the fourth to erase a two-point Falcon lead and give West Chester University a 17-16 win over Bentley University in non-conference football action Friday night at Farrell Stadium.
Bentley, down 14-0 at the half, scored 16 unanswered points in the first 12 minutes of the third quarter to turn the game around.
After amassing only 56 yards in the first half, Bentley moved the ball 75 yards on nine plays to start the third quarter with a touchdown. The drive was capped by an eight-yard pass from graduate QB Mark Waid (Cortland, Ohio./Girard HS) to sophomore Rashon Bradford (Rahway, N.J./Rahway HS) and featured a 47-yard completion to senior Noah Neville (Boston/Newton North HS).
Two plays after an interception by sophomore Rene Nunez (Secaucus, N.J./Bergen Catholic HS), Bentley drew within one, 14-13, on a 10-yard run by Waid.
West Chester's next possession also resulted in a Bentley interception, this one by senior Joseph Howshan (Lawrence/Central Catholic HS). He returned it 11 yards to the Golden Rams 18 , and the Falcon drive culminated with a go-ahead 25-yard field goal by junior Mason Campbell (Naples, Fla./Barron Collier HS). That made it 16-14 with 3:14 left on the third-quarter clock.
Henry's field goal was the only scoring in a fourth quarter that saw Bentley limited to three first downs and 56 total yards. The Falcons had two possessions after West Chester reclaimed the lead, but was unable to capitalize. The contest ended when a Hail Mary by Waid from the West Chester 45 was knocked down in the end zone.
West Chester outgained the Falcons, 315-269, and had an 18-12 advantage in first downs. Penalties hurt the Falcons in the opener, including an ineligible man downfield call that erased a TD pass two plays after Howshan's INT.
Waid completed 9 of 25 passes for 168 yards and also led the Falcons in rushing with 53 yards. Neville was the team's top receiver with three form 73 yards.
For West Chester, sophomore QB Shane Dooley (Philadelphia, Pa.) completed 10 of 16 passes for 152 yards and two scorers, and senior Phil Poquie (Philadelphia, Pa.) rushed for 92 yards.
Defensively for Bentley, junior Salvatore Lupoli Jr. (Chelmsford, Mass./Chelmsford HS) made 13 tackles and senior d-end Cedie Dashiell II (Buena Park, Calif./Buena Park HS) had two sacks.
Bentley will look to give first-year head coach Alvin Reynolds his first career win next Saturday when the Falcons host Pace in the home opener (4 pm).
The northern lights could appear in the skies of Pennsylvania and New Jersey on Wednesda...
The northern lights could appear in the skies of Pennsylvania and New Jersey on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
A series of plasma bursts from the sun, known as coronal mass ejections, will cause the aurora borealis to be seen farther south than usual, at least down through New England and the Great Lakes — and, if the events are strong enough, as far as the Lehigh Valley.
“I certainly wouldn’t rule it out,” Bill Murtagh, a program coordinator with the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, told lehighvalleylive.com. The center has issued a G3 watch — the third of five levels of geomagnetic storms — for Wednesday through Friday.
The best opportunity for viewing locally will likely be early Thursday morning and again on Thursday night from places with dark skies and a view to the north.
But don’t expect the dramatic, dancing northern lights you see in photos from far-north places. To us, any aurora will likely appear as a faint green light in the northern sky, Murtagh said.
There are a few caveats in the complicated forecast, however.
First, since it’s not one single event but a series, it is difficult to project exactly how strong the overall storm will be, and when. The stronger it is, the better the chance it can be seen in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. A typical G3 event can cause aurora as far south as Illinois and Oregon, as well as generally minor disruptions to satellite navigation and radio. (The Space Weather Prediction Center’s primary purpose is to protect critical infrastructure like the power grid from cosmic harm — nothing major is currently expected.)
Second, the light of the waning moon could overpower any weak aurora seen from our area. The moon will be out from around 11 p.m. through the dawn both nights.
Third, as always, is the weather itself. This factor, at least, appears to be cooperative. Clouds on Wednesday are expected to clear after midnight and stay away through Thursday night, said Matt Brudy, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service regional office in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
If any of these factors spoil your aurora observations, don’t worry. Murtagh, of the Space Weather Prediction Center, said the sun is approaching a period of maximum activity in 2024-25, so there will be an increase of events producing the northern lights for our area over the next few years.

The drought watches remain in effect, but this week’s rains all but wiped out the short-term precipitation deficits that had been growing disturbingly on both sides of the river in the last month.
“Definitely, everybody in the area got something,” said Brad Carlberg, meteorologist at the Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center in State College, which tracks countywide rain totals using a sampling of reporting stations.
A big winner was Montgomery County, which started the week with rainfall that was a third of normal during the previous 30 days. After widespread rain Tuesday and Wednesday, the 30-day total jumped to nearly 4.6 inches, 115% of normal, according to the river center.
The Jersey Shore counties, which had been as dry as sand dunes, also prospered. Cape May County went from 22% of average to 98% for the 30-day period, with 3.5 inches of rain.
It was quite a turnaround. Several individual stations reported more than 4.5 inches on Tuesday alone, when the heaviest rain fell, and the downpours had an element of summer caprice, with totals varying wildly within counties.
However, smoothing out the differences suggests that that soils and streams throughout the region received a beneficial recharge, while avoiding major flooding. Through Wednesday every county was at or well above 30-day normal rainfalls.
Here are the counties that recorded the most rainfall Tuesday and Wednesday, and where they stand in terms of 30-day normal precipitation.
Still, officially the region’s “abnormally dry” zones on the U.S. Drought Monitor map expanded significantly with Thursday’s update. However, that analysis is performed on Tuesdays.
Based on Thursday’s precipitation, groundwater, and surface-water indicators, Chester County would no longer qualify for the drought-watch party. Its 30-day total through Wednesday was 138% of normal. But any decision to drop counties would be made at next week’s Drought Task Force meeting, said Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection spokesperson Deborah Klenotic.
No end to New Jersey’s watch is imminent, said state Department of Environmental Protection spokesperson Larry Hajna. Any determination would be made based on a variety of indicators, including reservoir levels and water demands.
“While this week’s rainfall certainly helps,” he said, “we really need a number of rainfall events.”
For the 30-day period from Aug. 6 to Sept. 4, rainfall in most of the region's counties was well below normal. The most recent 30-day period, which ended Wednesday, shows that the region has mostly caught up to average rainfall totals, thanks to the storms on Monday and Tuesday.
Average 30-day rainfall totals by county as a percentage of normal
Drought conditions have been scarce in Philly this century as rainfall generally has increased, which may well be related to the planet’s rising temperatures, as warmer air can hold more moisture.
Pennsylvania hasn’t declared a regionwide drought “emergency” for the city and the four neighboring counties in 20 years. The two most recent watches, in 2017 and 2011, were short-lived. The watch issued on Aug. 5, 2011, was followed by Irene’s record rains that pushed the monthly rain total in Philly to an incredible 19.11 inches.
It is unclear whether this week’s rains were harbingers of a pattern change, but it is all but certain that they have given way to a splendid run of September weather likely to persist through the weekend.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are expected to be brilliantly sunny with highs in the mid-80s and comfortably cool nights in the 60s.
With no Irenes or other tropical threats on the horizon.

The Sunday PLL Semifinals storylines are clear. The Archers (7-4) have lost to Chaos (3-8) in each of their last two playoff semifinals. Is the third time a charm? Or do the Chaos continue to show their mastery of the post season?
Meanwhile the Waterdogs (6-5) are the only team to beat Whipsnakes (9-1) this summer. Can they do it again?
Sunday will be special at Audi Field, an elite venue. The PLL Semifinals doubleheader in the nations capital on 9/11. The league will be honoring former BC lacrosse player and 9/11 hero, Welles Crowther, along with his family.

As the top seed, the Whipsnakes had a bye last week week and haven’t played since August 21 in Tacoma. Time off isn’t ideal. A change of routine can shudder momentum, so Instead of taking the weekend off and going to the beach, the Whips asked the league permission to get together.
“The League allowed us to hold a practice in Princeton, NJ in conjunction with quarterfinals,” said coach Jim Stagnitta. “We had practice and a team dinner at Contes in Princeton.”
Structure and order, practice and pizza, some things never change. Contes is an old-school pizza house, a well known social spot where patrons can build their own pies using Pepperoni, Sausage, Onions, Mushrooms, Peppers, Garlic, Black Olives, and Anchovies. Don’t confuse this place with Sammy’s in Hunt Valley. Who the heck puts anchovies on pizza? How many slices did Rambo consume? Setting the over/under at 4.5.
The Whipsnakes staff and players held zooms and ScoreBreak sessions. The players are holding training challenges through endurance tests like running a timed mile or doing a certain amount of sprints. Staying in peak condition while outside the framework of daily team interaction requires discipline and every bit of peer pressure helps. Being in shape matters at all levels. Lacrosse is a running game. The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.
The Waterdogs quarterfinal win over the Atlas was made possible by transition offense through Zach Currier and Ryan Conrad owning the middle of the field. “The difference was wing play on the faceoffs,” said ESPN’s Jay Alter. “Currier (8 GB) and Ryland Rees (6GB) were dominant and set the tone in groundballs and getting goals straight from the faceoff.”
The Waterdogs (+350 to win the championship) scored a season-high 19 goals on the extra possessions that Currier and Rees dug out.
A staple for the Waterdogs this summer has been setting effective picks for catalyst Michael Sowers. Goalie Dillon Ward will creep forward off his arc, up-field, crushing angles. This team caught my eye in Connecticut, when they gutted out a win while short staffed. They found joy in the struggle. I respect their toughness. Guys like Kieran McCardle , Connor Kelly, Chris Sabia, and Liam Byrnes are high production yet low maintenance.
Sunday, the first five minutes will be critical. If the Waterdogs can capitalize on Whips rust, that may set a tone. Can Whips FOGO Joe Nardella win clamps to create quick exits thereby avoiding Currier and Rees? It’ll be tough for the Waterdogs to run on the Whips, who prefer a grind-it-out style of six-on-six.
To beat the Whips, you must have defensive hammers on each side of the field for lefty Matt Rambo and righty Zed Williams. You have to deal with LSM Michael Ehrhardt, to match wits with Mike Chanenchuk and Brad Smith. You have to face guard Jay Carlson and be willing to run through checks from Bryce Young, Matt Dunn, and Timmy Mueller.
The Whips (+160 to win the championship) brilliance is their consistency, and unwavering fundamentals. Some call them dull. Seven of their nine wins are by two goals or less. They don’t give up bad goals. They don’t beat themselves. They stay in the moment understanding that they have control over their attitude, effort, behavior, and actions. They love the close shave. They are the professional version of the Maryland Terrapins and their fans will show up in red.

The Chaos have won this identical PLL Semifinals game in 2020 and 2021 yet are a 1.5 goal underdogs to the high scoring Archers. Go figure.
“With all the focus on Marcus Holman, Will Manny, Grant Ament, and Tom Schreiber, it’s Connor Fields who has emerged as the ‘tone setter’ and ‘difference maker’ for the Archers,” explained ESPN voice Jay Alter.
Schreiber’s rollback is nasty and he’s a two-way go, able to shoot it or dish it off from the dodge. Coach Chris Bates has an offense with weapons. If they get their feet set for clean looks, they’ll ring corners. If their shots are on the run or contested, Chaos stopper Blaze Riorden may have a field day.
Meanwhile the Chaos (+500 to win the championship) triggered its annual transformation from regular season scrubs to playoff superheroes. It’s like the kale worms in my garden becoming butterflies, the metamorphism defies belief.
“Delete the regular season. It didn’t matter. Using nothing but the eye test, they were the best team at Gillette Stadium,” said Alter. “The intensity and ferocity in which they attacked every facet of the game was breathtaking.”
Finally some of the pregame posturing and halftime locker room ‘F bombs’ manifested into improved play and not just social media glitz. Defenders Jack Rowlett and Jared Neumann form the foundation. Goalie Blaze Riorden is Mr. September. Andy Towers is Ted Lasso.
ESPN’s Paul Carcaterra sums it up. “Blaze saved 82% and FOGO Max Adler, who struggled this season, was great Saturday…59%. When you give an offense, who has the best shooting percentage in the league, that many touches…you win.”
Simple math. Simple game.
Meanwhile, the Archers (+210 to win the championship) sent the Redwoods golfing last Saturday. The Woods never lived up to their headlines and now stare down an off-season of uncertainty with an assortment of players entering free agency.
The Woods rolled out of the playoffs. Their vaunted defense is ringless. The offense was a bad salad. The Woods will look different in 2023 and that’s a good thing.
Sunday, I think both teams will score, as neither defense is built to stop the other. The FOGO battle is an unknown quantity. Playoff games can get wonky where players tend to grip their sticks too tight and coaches pucker up at the sight of a turnover. I don’t entirely trust the Archers defense.
Elimination games are determined by execution. Who can do the simple things better? Which team can be its best at the moment of high stress? Who wins the 50/50 grounders? Who can bury their layups? Who plays team defense? Who’s aggressive and relentless? Who can own the last minute of each quarter? Who has no fear of making mistakes? Who stays true to their personality?
These PLL Semifinals won’t disappoint. You should be watching the PLL. Chris Cotter, Paul Carcaterra, Ryan Boyle and Dana Boyle have the television call on ABC and ESPN+ live from the swamp. I spoke with Dana this week about covering the PLL on my podcast.
To get yourself in the mood for the PLL Semifinals, check out “Fate of the Sport” on ESPN+. The documentary has been a top viewed film on ESPN+ through its first weeks of release. I spoke with Paul Rabil about the film.
The semifinal winners advance to the PLL Finals on Sunday, September 18 at 3:00pm, from Subaru Park in Chester, PA, which will be televised nationally on ABC.

MENDHAM, NJ — The ongoing process to convert a local preserved farm into a farm-based brewer will have to wait even longer now that the public hearing has been postponed yet again.
After months of waiting, the Morris County Agriculture Development Board scheduled a virtual hearing on the farm's proposal for a brewery and tasting room on Aug. 11, but it was canceled.
Backer Farm has been seeking permission to establish a brewery operation on their property, which currently has produce and livestock. The farm's plan was approved by the Mendham Township Zoning Board of Adjustment in Feb. 2022 with a 5-2 vote.
Backer Farm has been planning the public hearing for months, and it will be used to provide an overview of the application and introduce their witnesses, Frank Pinto, Backer Farm's project manager and project spokesperson.
The reason for the delay, according to Katherine Coyle, Director of the Morris County Agriculture Development Board, is that the Morris County Agriculture Development Board needed time to review additional information that was submitted.
Coyle stated that the board is now awaiting additional information from the applicant.
The application has caused concern within the community about potential noise, overflow parking, and the possibility of late hours. These items were all expected to be addressed during the public hearing.
"Backer Farm intends to comply with the NJDEP noise standards and has already retained an acoustical engineer to measure noise levels and assist in planning to ensure compliance with legal noise limits. We also live on the property and across the street and enjoy our peace and tranquility as much as anyone," Backer said.
Backer claims that the farm will grow crops for beer production as well as brew and package the beer on-site. Customers will be able to learn about the beer-making process, tour the farm, sample beer, and purchase beer for on- or off-site consumption in the dairy barn's indoor and outdoor public areas.
To view Backer Farm's application on the county's website, click here and here for the County Agriculture Development Board meeting agendas and schedule.
According to Coyle, the hearing will also not be rescheduled for the next meeting, which is scheduled for Sept. 1, and no new date has been set.
