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.

Now that Nathaniel Hackett has officially become the offensive coordinator of the New York Jets, every single Jets player is going to be asked the same question over and over again throughout the coming months: What do you think of Aaron Rodgers coming to the Jets?
Sauce Gardner was the first player to be asked a question of that ilk on a public platform. On Thursday evening, just hours after Hackett was hired, Gardner was asked about Rodgers on ESPN Radio.
Being the professional he is, Gardner stuck to the business-like answers, although it does seem like he would be excited about the idea of Rodgers joining the team.
“I wouldn’t mind that… I want what’s best for the offense…”@iamSauceGardner after being asked if he would want Aaron Rodgers on the Jets.@HDouglas83 | @jasonfitz | #FitzandHarry pic.twitter.com/UPhl6xdfaD
Asked about what he saw from Rodgers when facing him in 2022, Gardner said, “He’s definitely great, he’s definitely elite, he’s been doing it [since] before I was born. I can’t discredit nothing that he do, because I’ve seen him do so many good things. He’s a great quarterback for sure.”
Gardner was plainly asked whether he would want Rodgers on his team, and he responded, “I mean, you know, I wouldn’t mind that. You know? I just want what’s best for the offense. But at the same time, I just got to focus on my job and focus on what we got going on on the defensive side.”
Back in Week 5, Gardner enjoyed one of the best games of his rookie season in the Jets’ 27-10 win over Rodgers’ Packers at Lambeau Field. Rodgers threw at Gardner six times and completed only one pass for eight yards. Gardner recorded three pass breakups.
Plenty of Jets fans are hoping to see more Rodgers-versus-Gardner duels in 2023, except this time, on the practice field in Florham Park.

Florham Park, N.J. — Woody Johnson has watched the New York Jets miss the postseason for the past 12 years and feels the same way as the fans.
He's frustrated. And wants that brutal, embarrassing run to end.
Johnson, the Jets' owner since 2000, isn't issuing a playoff mandate for next season. He never has.
But after what he called "a roller-coaster" season during which the Jets went 7-10 and ended with a six-game losing streak, he made it clear it's time for coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas to win.
"This team is loaded, I think," Johnson said, "and ready to go."
Well, other than at quarterback.
Zach Wilson struggled miserably in his second season and was benched twice. There are serious questions about whether he'll ever come close to living up to being the No. 2 overall pick in 2021.
"Zach had a tough year, there's no denying that," Johnson said. "I still have confidence. I've seen some kernels of real talent there. ... But the confidence level, whatever it was, went down."
He echoed the sentiments of now-former Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, who acknowledged last week Wilson might have been better served sitting behind a veteran quarterback as a rookie.
"I think we could've done a better job, for sure," Johnson said, "and we will do a better job next year."
So bringing in a veteran quarterback who can help steer the offense from the unproductive and inconsistent mess it was the past two seasons is likely a priority this offseason.
And Johnson is "absolutely" on board — even if it's a pricey proposition.
"We've got a (salary) cap, so you've got an amount you can spend," Johnson said. "But yeah, that's kind of the missing piece. Our defense was an unbelievable story that you saw this year, from last place to close to the top in defense, in terms of any measurable. If you can do the same thing on offense, it looks pretty good, right?"
Names such as Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo and maybe even Lamar Jackson will be mentioned by fans and media when discussing the Jets' QB situation over the next several weeks.
But New York will first be looking for an offensive coordinator after the Jets and LaFleur agreed to part ways Wednesday.
Saleh said Thursday that Johnson has been supportive and gives him and Douglas "full autonomy" on decisions. Johnson acknowledged he has "a voice" in the overall process, but leaves it up to Saleh and Douglas — and that includes the move with LaFleur.
The Jets finished near the bottom of the league during LaFleur's two seasons running the offense, and Saleh said he'll "cast a wide net" on finding a replacement — who will also have input on the quarterback situation.
The Jets have reached the Super Bowl just once in their history — 54 years to the day — in 1969 during the glory days of Joe Namath. New York is simply looking to just reach the playoffs these days, an unattainable goal the past 12 years.
"I don't do mandates," Johnson insisted. "We've all had a long wait — 54 years from the last Super Bowl is too long. Way too long. I'd like to change that fast, but mandates don't work. We go into every game thinking we're going to win that game. That's our mindset."
In the 11-minute broad-ranging interview, Johnson touched on several other topics with reporters, including whether he sees the franchise-record playoff drought as part of his legacy as an owner.
"I really don't look at things that way," he said. "I look at it year to year and I'm trying to get better. I want to win more than anybody. I hate losing. I want to win. The coach and the general manager feel the same. They are all in. ...
"Do I like the 12 years? No. But I never look at legacy. Legacy is what I do today and tomorrow."
Johnson maintains Jets fans he speaks to remain "optimistic" despite the struggles of the past decade-plus.
"I want to give them what they want," he said. They want wins and they deserve wins and I'll try to get them wins. I'm going to do everything I can to make it happen for them.
"No stone unturned. Saleh will do it. Douglas will do it. The coaches will do it."
• Saleh said wide receivers coach Miles Austin, who's facing at least a one-year suspension by the NFL for gambling, will not return next season. Offensive line coach John Benton will also not be back with the Jets. ... Saleh said his "sales pitch" to prospective offensive coordinator candidates includes mentioning the Jets' top-five defense, several talented offensive skill players, how they'll "attack" improving the offensive line and their "aggressive as heck" approach to addressing the QB position.

Florham Park, N.J. — The New York Jets' ground game has been grounded.
A once-flourishing rushing offense is sputtering — and it has the rest of the unit in a funk.
"Teams are stacking the box and daring us to throw it and beat them that way," coach Robert Saleh said. "Usually, that comes with the weather. It's a lot harder to throw the football this time of the year than it is earlier in the year. You've got to earn the right to back them off."
The Jets were having plenty of success and earning the respect of defenses early in the season when rookie Breece Hall made an immediate impact by running for 463 yards in his first seven games. But he was lost for the season with a torn ACL.
Still, New York was able to bounce back by trading for James Robinson and then having undrafted rookie Zonovan Knight emerge as a key contributor, along with Michael Carter and Ty Johnson. Lately, though, the running game is running on empty.
The Jets have just 192 yards rushing in their past three games, averaging a dismal 3.0 yards per carry during that span.
"The running game takes all 11," offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said. "It takes, obviously, a good plan, but it also takes a mentality from every single guy — me calling enough runs, me calling the runs at the right time, giving enough runs that keeps the defense off balance.
"It's not high school. You can't just run the same run over and over and over. It's just been a magnitude of things."
Injuries and inconsistency in the backfield and on the banged-up offensive line have certainly taken their toll. Running lanes that were opened wide regularly in the middle of the season haven't been as easy to find. And sometimes, they've been non-existent.
"They're going to keep battling, I know that," LaFleur said of the offensive line. "It's been a whirlwind of different guys in there, but any guy that we have in there, we feel confident is going to get the job done. They've got another opportunity this Sunday to get that done."
Knight, who was an unexpected bright spot while running for 230 yards on 46 carries in his first three games, has stalled. He has just 21 yards on 19 attempts in his past two games.
In the Jets' 19-3 loss to Jacksonville last week, fourth-string quarterback Chris Streveler led the team with 54 yards rushing on nine attempts after replacing Zach Wilson. Knight had minus-2 on six carries.
In the three games since returning from a sprained ankle, Carter has just 26 yards on 11 attempts.
Meanwhile, Robinson — acquired from the Jaguars on Oct. 25 — has played in just two games since, running for 65 yards on 18 carries. He has been inactive three straight games and four of the past five.
"If you can't run the ball, there's only one other way to move the ball," said quarterback Mike White, who'll start Sunday at Seattle after missing two games with broken ribs. "I think if we do move the ball, then they won't get to sell out so much on the run — and that's when the run game comes to life. Especially in this offense, everything intertwines and works together."
LaFleur's offense found success and balance with the running game in the middle of the season with Wilson and then White at quarterback. The Jets had an eight-game stretch during which they ran for 120 or more yards six times.
"I keep preaching to the guys: We have ran the ball," LaFleur said. "There was a point in the season where we were a running team, and we were doing a lot of good things in the run game, and that's kind of fallen off in the last month.
"As you can see, when you're not running the ball what can happen. It hasn't been good, and it starts with me, but we plan on getting that fixed."
It could start Sunday when New York faces Seattle's 31st-ranked run defense with White back under center.
"Does Mike help that? We'll find out," Saleh said. "But at the end of the day, we're in playoff-type football. Crappy weather, you've got to be able to run the football."

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Fifteen years ago, the New York Jets made the splashiest trade in franchise history, acquiring a legendary, late-30s quarterback from the Green Bay Packers with the hope of energizing the franchise, saving a third-year coach from doom and satisfying a success-starved owner. Brett Favre led them to an 8-3 start in 2008,...
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Fifteen years ago, the New York Jets made the splashiest trade in franchise history, acquiring a legendary, late-30s quarterback from the Green Bay Packers with the hope of energizing the franchise, saving a third-year coach from doom and satisfying a success-starved owner. Brett Favre led them to an 8-3 start in 2008, but he hurt his arm and the whole season fell apart.
The 2023 Jets are in a similar situation. This time, the third-year coach is Robert Saleh, but the success-starved owner hasn't changed (Woody Johnson) and neither has the decades-old quest to find the "missing piece," as Johnson called it recently. Which leads us to Aaron Rodgers, the Packers' current late-30s quarterback who may or may not be traded this offseason.
As Rodgers mulls his future, and as the Packers decide on a direction for the organization, the trade speculation is rampant. ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported last weekend that a Rodgers trade is "a real possibility," causing Jets fans on social media to hyperventilate. The excitement climbed to a new level Thursday with the news that one of Rodgers’ former offensive coordinators, Nathaniel Hackett, had been hired by the Jets. Heck, even former Jets great Joe Namath, in a radio interview, said he'd be willing to let Rodgers wear his famous No. 12, which has long been retired.
It would be the ultimate Super Bowl-or-bust move for a franchise that hasn't been there in 54 years. The Jets ended the season on a six-game losing streak, ready to replace Zach Wilson as their starter. There will be other veteran options in the quarterback market, perhaps Derek Carr or Jimmy Garoppolo, but Rodgers, 39, is an all-time great (career record: 139-66-1) with tremendous box-office appeal.
The Jets had the same feelings about Favre, who was acquired for a third-round pick in training camp. Then-coach Eric Mangini, who had his own six-game losing streak the previous year, was so giddy with Favre's arrival that he named his third son after him -- Zack Brett Mangini, born Oct. 10, 2008, Favre's 39th birthday. The stars appeared aligned, but the team skidded to a 9-7 finish, Mangini was fired and Favre was done in New York after just one season.
Will history repeat? Will Saleh have an eighth child and name him Aaron? (Or, if it's a girl, Erin?) From a Jets perspective, let's analyze the pros and cons of a potential Rodgers trade.
Hello? He's a four-time NFL MVP: Rodgers would make them better the moment he steps foot in the building. The Jets haven't had a player of his stature since ... well, Favre. He'd provide instant credibility and leadership, qualities they've lacked at the quarterback position. He'd demand total commitment from everybody, especially the wide receiver room, which experienced dysfunction last season. (See: trade requests by Elijah Moore and Denzel Mims.)
Rodgers, appearing Tuesday on The Pat McAfee Show, got into a discussion about Wilson and the Jets, and he sounded impressed by their skill-position talent. Unsolicited, without naming names, he made complimentary references to wide receiver Garrett Wilson, running back Breece Hall and tight end C.J. Uzomah.
Major upgrade at quarterback (thanks, Captain Obvious): From 2009 to 2022 (Mark Sanchez to Wilson), the Jets are dead last in the NFL in Total QBR (41.5), touchdown passes (257) and completion percentage (57.7), and tied for the most interceptions (245). Detect a trend? Yeah, they've been dragged down by poor quarterback play, never more evident than in 2022. Rodgers would change that.
"He's still a top quarterback, behind [Patrick] Mahomes, [Joe] Burrow and [Josh] Allen," one opposing coach said this week. "He's not No. 1 anymore, but he can still throw the ball."
A familiar face: Players who change teams late in their careers often look for familiarity and comfort. The idea of playing for strangers and learning a new system can be a turn-off. This is where Hackett comes into play. If Rodgers ends up with the Jets, he’d be reunited with Hackett -- they were together from 2019 to 2021 -- and wouldn’t have to worry about the chore of mastering a new playbook. Hackett’s presence doesn’t mean Rodgers will end up in New York, but it could factor into his decision if there’s a choice of destinations.
A mentor to Wilson: Team officials insist that Zach Wilson, despite his second-year regression, will be on the 2023 roster. Their objective is to continue his development. If the Jets were able to pull off this trade, he'd have the opportunity to sit and learn from his boyhood idol -- the ideal teacher-pupil arrangement.
Wilson grew up studying Rodgers and trying to copy his style, and they've developed a friendship over the past couple of years. Wilson won't be happy on the bench, not after being drafted No. 2 overall in 2021, but perhaps he'd be able to stomach it better if it's Rodgers ahead of him instead of, say, Garoppolo.
Rodgers said Wilson is "super talented," adding, "I think a little humility is good for all of us at various times in our careers."
Cost and compensation: Woody Johnson said he's "absolutely" willing to spend major bucks for a quarterback. That statement would be put to the test with Rodgers, who signed a three-year, $150 million contract last March.
Any team that trades for him would be responsible for $59.5 million in 2023 salary (fully guaranteed), which includes a $58.3 million bonus payable from March 17 to the start of the regular season. There's also a $49.3 million salary in 2024 that becomes fully guaranteed if he's on the roster after the fifth day of the 2024 waiver period (mid-February).
The good news is that the cap hits for the new team would be palatable -- $15.8 million and $32.5 million in 2023 and 2024, respectively, according to overthecap.com. (The 2023 cap charge is so low because the bonus is prorated over four years.) On Tuesday, Rodgers said he's open to reworking his deal, but that wouldn't change the fact that he's owed nearly $109 million in guarantees if he plays the two years.
On the flip side, the Packers would get hit with a $40 million dead charge if he's traded before June 1 -- a potential deterrent.
Then there's the trade compensation. Presumably, the Packers would demand at least a first-round pick, which might be deemed excessive for a 39-year-old quarterback because of the massive contract. There probably would be a negotiation, with the interested team looking for compensation relief based on how much of the contract it is willing to take on.
Commitment: Taking a page from the Favre script, Rodgers has become an offseason waffler, annually mulling whether he wants to continue playing. For the record, he's still noncommittal about 2023, saying, "All the other ideas about [a] trade and whatnot, that's all conjecture until I decide what I want to do moving forward for myself."
In other words, Rodgers could be a one-year rental. Would the Jets want to take that risk? Typically, general manager Joe Douglas isn't a quick-fix kind of executive; maybe the pressure to make the playoffs will change that. If Rodgers were to leave after a year or two, the "dead" cap charges would be enormous. Chances are, the Jets would try to make it a conditional trade, with the compensation based on how long -- and how well -- Rodgers plays. Still, it would eliminate the cost benefit of having a starting quarterback on his rookie contract, which would impair roster building.
Age and performance: Rodgers will be 40 by the 2023 playoffs, and he's coming off one of his worst seasons. He threw for the fewest yards (3,695) in any season in which he played at least 15 games and his most interceptions (12) in more than a decade. He had two fewer 300-yard passing games than Zach Wilson -- zero. To be fair, Rodgers dealt with injuries, including a broken thumb, and inexperienced wide receivers. Rodgers, who won the MVP in 2020 and 2021, believes he can get back to that level.
Was 2022 a one-year blip or the start of a trend?
"I think he's still elite," a rival defensive coordinator said. "Rodgers needs to have wide receivers he totally trusts, and that trust didn't happen until late in the season."
Technically, Rodgers' career began in New York. The 2005 draft was held at the Javits Convention Center, where he endured that infamous draft-day fall to the 24th pick.
Could it end there, too?
