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.
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.

The East Hanover Little League 12-year-olds have etched their name in Morris County baseball lore.
In Sunday night’s winner-take-all New Jersey state championship game, East Hanover/Florham Park stunned Holbrook (Jackson), 4-3 at Buchmuller Park in Secaucus. East Hanover is just the seventh Morris County team to capture a Little League state title since the tournament was first held in 1957, and the first since Parsippany-Troy East won it all in 2012.
In a rematch of Saturday’s game in which East Hanover defeated previously undefeated Holbrook, 2-0, the Hornets scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning on Sunday, and two more in the second to secure the victory.
"It's been a great experience for the boys and their families as well as for both towns. I felt like we were on even footing after Saturday's win," manager Joe Cheringal said. "We knew we had two of our best four pitchers available after they used both their best pitchers. Leading up to Saturday, we had played some hard-fought games. We were able to keep the momentum going and managed to jump out and take the lead in the first inning."
In the first inning, Anthony Abrantes tied the game when he grounded into a fielder's choice, scoring Tyler Ciasullo. In the next at bat, RJ Gossweiler singled to score AJ Rossi.
The Hornets then raced to a three-run lead in the second inning when Rossi smacked a two-out, two-run single.
Holbrook managed to pull within a run in the fourth inning at 4-3, but couldn't get anything going the final two innings. Gossweiler earned the win for East Hanover, giving up five hits, one earned run and four strikeouts in three innings. Braden Edelle threw the final three innings, striking out two on one hit and no runs.
"It feels good to represent New Jersey and I hope we can do good things in the regionals," Gossweiler said. "It was really cool being one of the four teams to represent the state. We met some new friends and had the chance to play at a nice field in front of a lot of people."
East Hanover (18-2), the Section 1 and District 1 champions, will face neighboring state champions Connecticut on Saturday at 4 p.m. (ESPN Plus) in the Metro-Region in Bristol, CT. with berths in the 2023 Little League World Series on the line.
"We're solid heading up to Bristol (CT) for the region tournament. We've now played 20 games this summer and you can see the chemistry with the team," Cheringal said. "We don't blow teams away, but we do all the little things right."
East Hanover’s road to the title began with a 6-5 win over Section 2 and District 6 champion Fort Lee on July 26. In Thursday’s winners bracket, the Hornets dropped a 12-4 contest to Holbrook in four innings, pushing them into the elimination bracket final on Friday. East Hanover defeated Fort Lee, 8-3 for the second time in as many days.
That led up to Saturday’s start to the championship series in which the Hornets handed Holbrook its first loss of the summer, setting up Sunday’s finale.
"We knew we had something special before the summer season began. But you don't know what you have until they get on the field and play together," Cheringal said. "We pool kids from two towns, East Hanover and Florham Park, and there's approximately 55 players that try out. We have 12 kids on the team and 10 have been playing together for a long time. It's a special group of kids."
East Hanover looks to become the first Morris County team to capture the Mid-Atlantic Region and advance to Williamsport, site of the Little League World Series, since Par Troy East (Parsippany) in 2012 and the first New Jersey team since Elmora Youth (Elizabeth) in 2019.
Other Morris County teams to capture New Jersey Little League state titles include Parsippany Troy East (2012), Randolph (2007), Randolph West (2001), Pequannock (2000), and Morristown National (1985 and 1982).

In New Jersey’s largest industrial sale of the year, retail REIT Urban Edge Properties has sold a 1.2 million-square-foot, seven-building portfolio in East Hanover, N.J., for $217.5 million. The buyer was an investment fund managed by Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing together with Saxum Real Estate, its operator and manager. JLL Capital Markets brokered the transaction.
The deal was structured as part of a 1031 exchange transaction used to partially fund the $309 million acquisition of two Boston-area shopping centers totaling nearly 1.4 million square feet—Gateway Center in Everett, Mass., and Shoppers World in Framingham, Mass.—from SITE Centers. Urban Edge funded the remaining balance of the purchase with its line of credit.
READ ALSO: What’s Ahead for Industrial?
The sale of the industrial portfolio, located in Morris County, is part of the company’s strategy of acquiring high-quality retail real estate with future growth potential. The REIT, which owns and operates 76 properties totaling 17.2 million square feet, is actively negotiating the disposition of more than $100 million of non-core assets.
Located at 901, 903-906, 601 Murray Road and 151 Ridgedale Ave., the light industrial portfolio is spread across seven buildings that were fully leased at the time of sale by a total of 13 tenants. Key features include an average clear height of 21 feet and 945 total parking spaces.
The properties are in the high barrier-to-entry and supply-constrained market of Northern New Jersey. One of the properties, 151 Ridgedale Ave., was acquired in October 2021. The 187,013-square-foot Paper Mart warehouse and distribution center had originally been owned by Urban Edge’s predecessor, Vornado Realty Trust. Vornado spun off Urban Edge into a separate company in January 2015. Vornado had sold the 9.17-acre property to Paper Mart in 1978. Purchasing the site back from Paper Mart in 2021 gave Urban Edge ownership of all the commercial assets on the block.
The Morris County submarket is the fourth largest submarket in Northern New Jersey, representing more than 33.4 million square feet of industrial space.
JLL Capital Markets arranged the deal, representing the seller and procuring the buyer. The Investment Sales and Advisory team was led by Jose Cruz, Marc Duval, Jordan Avanzato, Nick Stefans, Jason Lundy and Austin Pierce.
In another recent transaction, three JLL brokers secured a $869 million financing package for an 11.4 million-square-foot industrial portfolio. The fully leased properties have an average completion date of 2020.

New Vernon Equities is building up its Arena complex in East Hanover, adding a 17-acre parcel newly acquired from Novartis.
The Morristown-based commercial real estate developer and investor announced the acquisition of 135 Route 10 Nov. 2. According to the firm, the 150,000-square-foot office building will be redeveloped for science and technology users.
“We are thrilled to become a part of one of Morris County’s premier sites and continue our focus on top tier science and technology property development,” Peter Gilpatric, head of development for NVE, said in a statement.
Regarding the repositioning efforts, NVE noted the strength of Morris County for serving smaller office, labs and light manufacturing tenants. With redevelopment work already under way, Gilpatric told NJBIZ in a statement that the property is actively being marketed.
NVE’s Arena is centered on, now, three East Hanover buildings. Gilpatric said the firm envisions the campus as a more than 200,000-square-foot 21st Century workplace with a focus on science, technology and innovation.
The new addition 135 Route 10 is complemented by 30 and 31 Farinella Drive. The former is a 75,000-square-foot biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility fully leased to GenScript ProBio, according to NVE. Currently under development, 31 Farinella Drive is expected to deliver 50,000 square feet of high tech/science space by the end of 2023.
In March, the East Hanover Land Use Planning Board voted to deny an application from Novartis to subdivide approximately 17 acres for sale at the corner of Route 10 and Ridgedale Avenue. At the time, New Jersey Hills reported that Novartis East Hanover Site Head Gregory Struckus said during the March 23 meeting that the company had entered into a memorandum of understanding with NVE for the property.
NVE declined to comment on the impact the denial had on the purchase process. In a statement accompanying news of the acquisition, Gilpatric spoke positively about its work with the municipality and the seller.
“Our strong working relationship with the Township of East Hanover Township and Novartis allows us to collaborate in making this part of the Township a work, play, learn hub for ideas and innovation within a 21st Century workplace,” he said.
“Novartis continues to transform the East Hanover, N.J., campus to ensure we are using our office spaces as effectively as possible. As part of this initiative, we have divested an additional 17 of our 140 acres on the east side of the campus, including one office building,” the Swiss pharmaceutical giant told NJBIZ in a statement.
The transformation of the working space at Novartis’s East Hanover U.S. headquarters pairs with an “ongoing organizational evolution” across the company. At the end of the summer, Novartis disclosed plans to lay off 130 employees in East Hanover, which serves as its U.S. headquarters. That followed news from the end of 2022 that the company would cut 285 jobs at the site.
“Our efforts to transform the East Hanover campus are part of a multiyear, worldwide Novartis global initiative to improve and adapt work environments in many of our larger sites,” Novartis added. “The work we are undertaking will also enable us to become more responsible with our footprint today and in the future.”
That idea was echoed by remarks Struckus made at the March planning board meeting.
“Like many other companies, we’re moving to a hybrid working model which offers better collaboration for our associates and provides our associates with more flexibility,” he said, as reported by New Jersey Hills. “But the new model also is a more efficient use of space. And therefore, we don’t require all of the buildings that we currently have to accommodate our employees. And also by reducing our real estate footprint, it helps us achieve some of our energy and sustainability goals.”
Novartis shrunk that footprint by a sizeable amount in 2021 when a joint venture of Onyx Equities LLC and Russo Development acquired 62 acres from the company with plans to eliminate vacant office buildings in lieu of building up more than 800,000 square feet of industrial space at the site. Demolition was paused in April, with the partners, working as R&O East Hanover, announcing they would propose a smaller project, according to a report from the Daily Record.
Like NVE’s plans, the move would remove extra office space from the market and add more square footage in a sector with rising demand, particularly in recent years.

The state Attorney General's Office has filed a civil rights complaint against the Hanover Township school district and requested an emergency court order to stop the district from implementing a policy adopted Tuesday night that would require teachers to disclose to parents the gender identity and sexual orientation of LGBTQIA+ students.
The school district has, in turn, challenged the state, saying it will "vigorously defend" this policy which it says "protects parental rights and ensures the safety of all school children."
Schools in New Jersey are required to accept a student's preferred gender identity and pronouns without parental consent, according to the state's Law Against Discrimination and the state Department of Education's Transgender Student Guidance issued in 2018. The Attorney General's lawsuit says that the new policy adopted by Hanover Township violates state law and is in contradiction with its own existing transgender student policies.
The policy, titled "Parental Notification of Material Circumstances," requires teachers in the 1,200-student K-8 school district to notify parents if they are aware of "any facts or circumstances that may have a material impact" on a student’s well being because of a range of factors, such as bullying, depression, self-harm, athletic and academic performance and gender identity.
Local:Hanover school board favors policy to notify parents of student's LGBTQ identity
The state's lawsuit only challenges inclusion of language in the policy on gender identity, LGBTQ+ and transitioning students which it says violates state law by discriminating against the protected categories of sexual orientation and gender identity.
“We will always stand up for the LGBTQ+ community here in New Jersey and look forward to presenting our arguments in court in this matter,” said Attorney General Platkin in a statement Wednesday. "We are extremely proud of the contributions LGBTQ+ students make to our classrooms and our communities, and we remain committed to protecting them from discrimination in our schools.”
The state's lawsuit against the Hanover Township Public schools and its board of education asks the Morris County Superior Court for an order of "temporary restraint" to enjoin or stop the district's implementation of the policy, while its legal challenge plays out.
Gov. Phil Murphy tweeted his support for the Attorney General's move, saying "Hanover Township Board of Education's new policy requiring staff to 'out' LGBTQ students to their parents violates the rights of our students — jeopardizing their well-being and mental health."
Members of the public at a board meeting in April questioned the legality of the policy and whether it violated the state's law against discrimination. A teacher of 26 years in the Hanover Township district asked board members if it was legal for the new policy to require faculty to report any concerning student behavior as it relates to a list of issues mentioned in the policy, ranging from academic performance to gender identity, and what the consequences would be if they did not do so. The policy was not in violation of any state law, board attorney Matthew Giacobbe told the speakers.
The lawsuit comes at a time when many school boards across the state and nation are already polarized over issues relating to LGBTQIA+ students, resulting in conflicts within boards and in schools as right-wing and conservative activists clash with progressive and liberal groups over school library books, display of the "pride" flag in classrooms, and how far the state can go in mandating what is taught in schools about gender and sexual orientation.
This has resulted in calls to ban books that discuss gender identity, and bitter fights in school board meetings over implementing the Murphy administration's 2020 standards for health and comprehensive education in school districts which moved lessons on gender stereotyping and sexual behavior to earlier grades than in previous years.
About a 100 community members, donned with red shirts and pride flags, came out to express frustration with the board for questioning standards set by the state and their comments about LGBTQ families in an April board meeting at Westwood Regional High school. Other school boards in the state have been the center of similar demonstrations for and against including discussions about LGBTQ people.
"We are pleased to see that Attorney General Platkin has taken action and is recognizing the importance of the rights of students in our districts that are under attack by a radical right agenda," said Michael Gottesman, director of the New Jersey Public Education Coalition, a grassroots group that organizes to counter other groups that it says are eroding trust in public education by accusing the state of "indoctrinating" school children with its curriculum standards.
Gottesman said members of his organization met with staffers in the governor's office and the Attorney General's Office on April 27 to discuss a trend of school board members elected on "parental rights" platforms working to reject the state's health standards in elementary and middle school.
Republican state Senator Holly Schepisi (R-Bergen), who advocated to repeal the sex-education piece of the state department of education's 2020 health and physical education standards, was not immediately available to comment on the Attorney General's lawsuit.

The policy does not unlawfully discriminate against "any student on the basis of any protected status whatsoever," the Hanover Township school district said in a statement released Wednesday night. "Simply put, it requires that staff members' say something to the parents and appropriate school administrators," if they see something that could affect their children and to keep parents "fully informed" about "all material issues that could impact their children."
The policy is "expressly targeting students for disparate treatment" says the Attorney General's legal complaint, because it includes state-protected characteristics of “sexual orientation; transitioning; gender identity or expression," in the “facts or circumstances” that school staff must disclose to a student’s parents and to administrators in connection with the student’s safety.
Unidentified members of the public had alerted the Division of Civil Rights in the Attorney General's Office about the policy when it was being proposed, which led to the lawsuit.

Joe Cheringal, along with fellow coaches Andy Rossi and Alan Elwood, knew they had something special when they assembled the East Hanover/Florham Park Little League 12-year old team this past spring.
Cheringal, who has spent the last eight seasons coaching baseball in town, has fielded some competitive and talented teams over the years, but the 49-year old manager realized there was something different about this summer’s dozen.
“There was a lot of talented players to choose from, but Little League allows for just 12 players on a roster,” said Cheringal, who is also the vice president of the East Hanover/Florham Park Little League. “Around 10 of the 12 kids have played together for quite a few years. But still, you don’t really know what a team is all about until you get all the kids on the field and see how they mesh and play together. We were pretty confident we had a team that was going to compete and win games.”
Last Sunday, East Hanover/Florham Park captured its first-ever New Jersey Little League state title by stunning state power Holbrook (Jackson) in consecutive games. East Hanover is just the seventh Morris County team to capture a Little League state title since the tournament was first held in 1957, and the first since Parsippany-Troy East won it all in 2012.
Next stop for the East Hanover 12s is the Metro Region Tournament in Bristol, Connecticut, which starts this weekend. The winner of the tournament goes to the Little League World Series.
