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.

Tech companies weren’t the only startups that came to the New Jersey Economic Development Authority’s Founders & Funders event. We met a couple of food company founders and even the founder of a sunscreen startup. Their interviews are below, in the final part of our series on Founders & Funders.
Kevin Carbone, the creator of Sauce Bae hot sauce from Skinny Flav, based in Howell, told us that his hot sauce tastes great, but also contains turmeric, which helps reduce inflammation.
“Sauce Bae is today’s new ‘go-to’ healthy hot sauce. It’s a pineapple habanero hot sauce that’s made with turmeric, an anti-inflammatory spice. The hot sauce is very low in sodium and truly all natural. So, if you had a checklist and compared it side by side with all the hot sauces on the market, it beats them in every aspect, including flavor,” Carbone said.
He told us the story behind his sauce, which is already sold in more than 1,600 retail stores. Ten years ago, when he was in college, Carbone was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and got so sick that, even with medication, he couldn’t go to his classes.
“That was rock bottom for me. The doctors said pretty much that diet didn’t have anything to do with it,” he said.
“I had a decision to make: Am I going to accept this fate that they’re telling me, that ‘it is what it is,’ or am I going to do something about it? I chose to go out and do something about it. And, on this journey, I realized that healthy eating is really just eating clean, real food, with no preservatives. And then I discovered that it was really hard to find healthy foods because all the health products are made more for the gimmick, and not really about looking out for your best interests. So, I discovered turmeric, and that helped me with my inflammation.”
The knowledge of how turmeric can help with inflammation led him to create something that had turmeric in it.
“I created the original recipe at the very end of 2017, spent all of 2018 doing R&D. And then, in 2019, I got a co-packer/manufacturer in North Carolina. Now, Sauce Bae is carried by the two largest national distributors in the country, UNFI and KTV, and it was featured on the multimillion-viewer show ‘Hot Ones.’ We’ve also received numerous celebrity endorsements.”
Talking about his background, Carbone admitted that it was far removed from food creation. He studied finance and later worked in analytics and forecasting. He said that his background helped him to become a startup founder.
“I’m able to approach any problem from an analytical perspective,” he said.
We asked Carbone about his meetings, and he told us that pitching was a new experience for him.
“So far, I got some good feedback. It’s nice to hear the investors give advice as to how I should approach speaking with them,” he said. “And I’m really looking forward to my next meeting, because they are the perfect investor for me.”
Zheng Song, founder and CEO of Angel Planet Foods, based in East Hanover, told us about this vegan and meat-alternative company.
“We fill the blank spot in the market. We provide consumers with a minimally processed, gluten-free and soy-free meat alternative that tastes just like meat, and also has the texture of meat,” Song said.
“We provide consumers with healthy and tasty alternatives, so they can reduce meat consumption without having given up anything. And this is good for their health and also good for the environment. Over time, with skilled production and supply-chain efficiencies, we will be able to bring the plant-based food cost down, as well and deliver value to consumers.”
We asked Song how her meetings with investors went.
“The meetings were very good. The investors did give us some good advice. They want us to focus on the scalability (of the product) to bring costs down and also to quantify each component of the process,” she said. “Some of the investors were interested in us, but said food is not their sector. But they gave us a very enthusiastic endorsement for what we do.”
“Also, we were very, very happy to meet with the NJEDA. We found that there are lots of resources available from the government to us, and startups and entrepreneurs like us. So, from all this, we thought that was a very, very productive meeting.”
Is there such a thing as a better sunscreen? Terry Zickerman believes so. At Founders & Funders, he told us about his natural, easy-to-apply sunscreen that is “safe for the body and the planet.”
“My family and I founded Love Sun Body (in West Orange) in 2012. We were having a discussion in Point Pleasant Beach, saying that we couldn’t find a safe and truly effective natural sunscreen,” he said. “We also were talking about sunscreen application and being able to find something that would be easy to apply and truly safe. So, we decided to make our own, and that’s how Love Sun Body was born.”
We asked Zickerman about his background. He told us that he is a medical doctor, and also worked on Wall Street for 20 years in institutional equity sales. He founded the company in 2012, but was working on the company and at Morgan Stanley concurrently until 2017. Then, he left Morgan Stanley.
“Another year went by and we launched the first of our product line, our body formulas SPF 30, and SPF 50, fragrance free and scented,” he said. “We launched those four formulas in 2018. In 2020, we launched a tinted facial product (along with several other products). And now, this year, we relaunched all nine formulas to be a little bit thinner and lighter application. These are the only sunscreens in America that are certified 100% natural by Ecocert in Europe.”
We caught up with Zickerman after he had been through four meetings, and he said his sessions all went well. One investor told Zickerman that he wouldn’t be the lead investor in a deal, but would invest if someone else took the lead. Zickerman said this would be the first institutional money his company would be raising, as he had been bootstrapping it with friends and family money.
“We are ready to expand the company both domestically and internationally, to expand it to Canada and Europe and increase our distribution and our volume significantly. That’s why we’re here to raise capital,” he said.

East Hanover, N.J. – Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark will host several open house events throughout Essex, Union, Bergen, Hudson, and Middlesex counties this fall to help Catholics gain knowledge and confidence before a difficult time arises for families.
“A time of loss is a time of confusion, and final arrangements do not have to add to the uncertainty,” says Andrew P. Schafer, Executive Director of the Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark. “The worries of last-minute burial arrangements should not become part of a family’s grieving process, especially when experiencing profound sorrow. We reach out regularly to families to inform them about the valuable benefits of preplanning.”
The first open house weekend will take place Saturday, Sept. 17, and Sunday, Sept. 18, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Gate of Heaven Cemetery and Mausoleum in East Hanover. There guests can learn about the new Chapel Mausoleum of the Resurrection expansion opening this fall, which will feature marble crypts, glass and marble cremation niches, and a new section dedicated exclusively to cremations.
The new section will also feature several works of sacred art, including a two-story mosaic of Jesus Christ ascending from the tomb. The mosaic was made exclusively for Gate of Heaven Cemetery by world-renowned studio Mellini Art and Glass Mosaics based in Florence, Italy, which has created acclaimed works of sacred art for the last 70 years.
The new chapel mausoleum also includes 14 lifelike statues of the Stations of the Cross handcrafted from wood made in Tyrol, Austria, almost 200 years ago. The sculptures were saved from St. Peter’s Church (formerly Queen of Angels) in Newark and were restored to their original glory.
To learn more, watch the video at www.GateofHeavenCemetery.org or stop by the cemetery. Memorial planning advisors will meet with visitors to share information about burial and cremation options, memorialization, and financial planning.

EAST HANOVER, NJ - The Township released a video on their website regarding their stance on the stray cats in the town on Tuesday, as tensions between them and Trap, Neuter & Return advocates continue.
The video, titled “East Hanover’s Response to TNR,” is a simple, four-minute video that shows images of trash left behind by those who come to feed the cats from out of town.
“These actions are clear violations of local law,” the video said, which also called the feeders “perpetrators.”
The Township had set up security cameras in the feral cat areas. The video also showed footage of the feeders captured in surveillance.
“Perpetuating feral cat colonies attracts unwanted visitors to East Hanover neighborhoods that are dangerous to humans and threaten community safety,” the video said, before showing footage of coyotes in the same areas the feeders were in.
The video goes on to explain the TNR program, referring to it as “Trap, Neuter & Release” when it is called “Trap, Neuter & Return.”
The township, citing the CDC, PETA, and the University of Florida’s research center, stated that TNR programs “have been found to be a waste of time, money, and resources” and have been “shown to fail to reduce feral cat populations.”
Advocates for TNR disagree on calling the cats “feral,” instead referring to them as “communal” cats.
“Feral is a behavior,” said Gail Baldassarre, Wise Rescue’s Feline Coordinator, “It is not a type of cat.”
Communal cats are domestic cats who have either been “abandoned, born, or lost by several generations to human contact,” Baldassarre said.
“They are no different, except they’re unsocialized,” said Terry Baird, a New Jersey registered trapper. “To minimize that is disrespectful.”
The township has “taken a better approach,” the video said. “Feral cats are trapped, neutered, vaccinated, and put up for adoption at the local shelter.” Cats who have not been adopted after a “state mandated period” are “transferred to regional animal facilities.”
The video ends with the Township promising that “those found to be violating local law have been and will continue to be prosecuted.”
