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 â so much so that more than 58% of Americans are living with it, according to the CDC. Hip problems are usually caused by injuries or osteoarthritis, though normal wear and tear over time is also a contributing factor. If you notice any of these symptoms, an appointment with a chiropractor may be in order:
Since any joint in the body can be misaligned, like your hip joint, working with a chiropractor could be best for long-term relief. Any joint in the body can be out of alignment, including the hip joint, and it can cause severe pain, discomfort, and limited range of motion. Treatments in your personalized plan may include chiropractic adjustments, stretching, and exercise therapy.
Your spine comprises a litany of moving parts that must work together for healthy mobility. Spinal discs are just one of these parts, which act as cushions between your vertebrae. When you have a herniated disc, the bones in your spine grind against each other, causing intense pain. Also called a slipped disc, this back problem is very common and can be caused by wear and tear with age or traumatic events like car accidents. Keep an eye out for the following symptoms of a herniated disc:
After your chiropractor evaluates your spine for overall functionality, they will develop a personalized treatment plan for ongoing care. Common treatments for herniated discs include spinal manipulation techniques like flexion-distraction and therapeutic exercises.
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.

Originally from Union, Ron graduated from Union High School in 1994 and says “it was a great town to grow up in.” After his senior year he furthered his studies and moved to Pennsylvania to major in environmental science at Edinboro University. While home on college breaks Ron worked as a substitute teacher. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts, Ron continued to substitute while earning his master's degree in teaching and learning.
With a strong passion for education and inspiring youth, Ron taught at Burnet Middle School in Union for 11 years while taking classes after school hours to receive another master’s degree in administrative and supervision at Saint Peter's College. "Teaching is an honorable profession. It takes a certain and special type of person to be a teacher."

After receiving this particular degree Ron wanted to get a job close to home and was familiar with Kenilworth. He started as the Brearley Middle High School Assistant principal in July 2009 and stayed at this position until 2012. He then moved on to Harding’s Assistant Principal in 2012 and continued until 2021. In May 2021 Ron was unanimously appointed as the Harding Elementary School Principal.
Ron loves his job and says "It's amazing to see the students start in their first year and when they graduate. I enjoy the days of seeing the kids skip through the halls and then watching them grow up.” In regards to being the principal of Harding, Ron emphatically says “I'm a forever Kenilworth person as long as you will have me. The part of being a principal is that you are a jack of all trades. You have to be able to communicate effectively. To the staff, kids, and parents. The town is very supportive and that is another reason why I love my job."
A family man, Ron met his wife Trisha at college and the love has not stopped since. This summer they will be married for 22 years. Trisha teaches early education and kindergarten but has taught third and first grade. They have two wonderful sons. Luke, an eighth-grader, and RJ a junior. Both boys are heavily active in sports and the scouts. Ron is also a Scout Leader and is "very impressed with the Kenilworth Scout Troop."
When speaking about the town Ron says "I love that Kenilworth is a tight-knit community and that I get to see every kid come through my doors.” When it comes to Ron’s local hot spots he says he cannot choose one or even a couple because there are so many great places to go. However, he did mention in 2021 that the Harding kids voted the best pizza in town went to Big Apple.
Some fun facts about Ron include:
He has been involved with the scouts since he was a kid and even made it to the rank of Eagle Scout.
Ron once took a trip to Philmont New Mexico to stay at the largest Scout ranch in the world with his children.
Gardening is a hobby of his because not only is it soothing and relaxing, but he enjoys being outside. Ron prefers to grow vegetables.
Cooking is another pastime and Ron likes to try new recipes then tweak them to his liking.
Ron has quite a packed schedule, so he does not get as much time to read long books but instead reads a vast amount of school-related articles.
His families happy place is Hilton Head, South Carolina.
On his bucket list, Ron would like to explore Europe one day with his family.

KENILWORTH, NJ - Harding Elementary School is proud to perform The Wizard of Oz on Friday, April 28, 2023, at 7 p.m. in the Harding School Auditorium.
The show is directed by third grade teacher Mr. Joseph Mills who spearheaded the yearly elementary school production 20 years ago. Mr. Mills brought the idea to the district and since then he has directed a show every year. “I wanted to create an opportunity for the students of Kenilworth to express themselves theatrically, while building, self-esteem and confidence on stage in front of a live audience. This opportunity creates lifelong skills and memories for these students. Very few elementary schools put on a performance of this magnitude. It is what I am passionate about, and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to work with our talented students for the last 20 years.”
What is special about this upcoming production is that Harding School performed The Wizard of Oz 20 years ago. "I felt it would be fitting to celebrate our 20th anniversary with this performance again” Mr. Mills said. Mr. Mills is joined by Ms. Janet Spony, Harding School‘s art teacher, and Miss Gabrianna Boomer, Harding School‘s music teacher. "We are fortunate to have many volunteers including Mrs. Alyse Petracca, who is also is a substitute teacher at Harding elementary. We hope everyone comes out to support the students of Harding Elementary school. Our fifth and six grade students have worked very hard to create this performance, and we are all very proud of what they have accomplished."

The iconic musical includes 19 cast members who are in the fifth and sixth grade. The young actors and actresses are very excited to perform this Friday. Here is what some castmates had to say about why they decided to audition for the show and anything else we should know.
Siena Massa, Dorothy - "I like participating in things at school. Everyone is really nice."
Ramiro Rodriguez, Tin Man - "I am new at Harding. I wanted to do something to get me to socialize here and make new friends. The show is hard. It takes a lot of work. People should know we all put a lot of time and effort in at rehearsals."
Carmine Orlando, Scarecrow - "I like after school programs. I like to sing, and it's really fun for me. I think it is going to be a really good show. We skipped most of our lunches to practice."
Rebecca Harms, Cowardly Lion - "I'm really happy to be in this show. I saw David Brearley plays, so I always wanted to join the theater."
The four principal characters are all sixth-graders and will be attending Brearley next year. The last thing they all wanted to say was "Come Early. It's a free show."
Good luck to the entire cast and congratulations Mr. Mills on your 20th anniversary production!

KENILWORTH, NJ — Harding Elementary School is going old school to mark its 100th year.
Community members are invited to pack a picnic and play low-tech games when they come out to the “Harding 100 and Up Celebration” on Wednesday, Aug. 31, from 6 to 8 p.m. The rain date is Thursday, Sept. 1.
All residents are welcome to join in the fun and learn about Harding’s past.
Kenilworth historian Walter Boright will speak about the history of Harding Elementary School, which began construction in 1923 and was dedicated the following year.
Harding opened as a nine-room, K-8 school to relieve crowding at the former McKinley School. The auditorium stage doubled as the gym and had lockers and showers. Harding recently installed a new stage with funds from the operating budget, but the auditorium has never had a complete renovation.
The district is asking the community to consider a bond referendum on Thursday, Oct. 6, that would fund auditorium upgrades, among other projects. With voter approval, the district could receive state aid toward the costs of improvements, such as replacing the original chairs in the 100-year-old auditorium, as well as the floor and ceiling.
Concept photos of a new auditorium and other district improvements will be displayed alongside historical Harding photos outside the school building.
The “Harding 100 and Up Celebration” also will include:
• The district’s longtime school business administrator, Vincent Gonnella, leading building tours that include the original areas of the auditorium. He also will display artifacts from the school’s civil defense room — where students were to take shelter in the event of an atomic attack during the Cold War.
• Board games that visitors can play. Visitors are also encouraged to bring their own games in addition to a picnic dinner.
• An ice cream truck with treats available for purchase. Harding will have other events throughout its centennial year.
Residents also will have more opportunities to learn about the bond referendum, including at a meet-and-greet event at Bella Palermo pastry shop, 541 Boulevard in Kenilworth, on Sunday, Aug. 28, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. See kenilworthschools.com for more referendum details and updates on events.

HARDING — Dickson's Mill Road gently winds a narrow, mile-long path through green fields and historic estate properties that comes to an end near the spill over the Silver Lake dam.
Along the way, the historic two-lane road, which carried travelers before the American Revolution, crosses over the scenic Silver Brook and passes by a 40-acre preserve purchased with state Green Acres funds.
While most in the wealthy southern Morris County township agree the tiny bridge over Silver Brook should be replaced, they don't support the federal, state and county guidelines that have led to a design proposal to widen the roadway by almost half.
The proposed 26-foot-wide bridge would compromise the historic and idyllic character of the setting and encourage speeding on a bridge where "there is no record of any traffic accidents ever taking place," said Councilman and former Mayor Nicolas Platt.
"How do you take a road with a safety record like that and want to change it?" Platt asked. "It doesn't make sense."
The current bridge widens the 18-foot-wide road to 20 feet. Signs warn approaching drivers of a narrow bridge with a 4-ton limit, barely wide enough to accommodate two passing cars.
"Besides taking on the appearance of a non-historic crossway, a wider bridge would straighten out a curve that would lead to higher speeds that have never been an issue," said Platt, who also currently serves as one of two New Jersey "shared services czars" appointed by Gov. Phil Murphy.
Morris County engineer Christopher Vitz is aware of the issue and said that due to the traffic volume on the roadway, and the current state and federal regulations, it requires a minimum-width bridge of 26 feet.
"It's just a safety issue," he said. "At 20 feet, it's a 10-foot-wide lane in each direction. That's quite narrow for vehicles to pass. Typically, you'd want a 12- or 13-foot-wide lane. With 26 feet, that allows two vehicles to pass while there is a pedestrian on the bridge."
Platt said he sees the larger bridge as a costly government "boondoggle," at an estimated price of $1.5 million, that is neither needed, nor desired, by residents.
"It's not just a bridge," Platt said. "This is about every rural road in New Jersey that has been protecting itself for 200 years, and suddenly the state takes a one-size-fits-all approach. That makes no sense. I think there's only 12 people who live on this road."
Platt was the lone council member to vote against a July 15 resolution that "supports the replacement or repair" of the bridge, and said he "desires the current width of the bridge to be maintained."
He objected to the resolution because it does not declare formal opposition to the width of the proposed bridge, and also requests the county, which is responsible for bridge replacement, to include the project in its 2020 budget cycle.
"The resolution to me reads as though they want to see if they can get a reprieve, but otherwise, let's move forward," Platt said. "It gives the county and the state less urgency to resolve this. I want to stonewall until we get the width we want."
Platt is calling for state officials to grant an exception to rebuild to the current width and still use about $1 million in state funds even though the plan would not meet American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials standards.
He cited previous exceptions to bridge projects "that did not meet NJDOT guidance values for width" in a letter to Transportation Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scacetti.
"I cannot fathom why a new bridge would need to be 45 percent wider than the roadway leading to it," Platt wrote. "The width between the trees on either side of the roadway is not even 26 feet."
Department of Transportation spokesman Steve Schapiro said the department "is aware of the concerns raised by elected officials, the town and county, and is working to set up a meeting to discuss them."
Assemblyman John McKeon, who represents Harding and New Jersey's 27th District, supports the push to narrow the replacement bridge.
"It's something overwhelmingly that folks in Harding care about, so I'm going to bat with them in every manner I can with the Department of Transportation, and the governor, if need be," McKeon said.
"I am committed this bridge will never be 26 feet," Platt vowed. "I will hold a sit-in if need be."

Only one diver in New Jersey history has ever won a state title all four years.
Until Wednesday.
Notre Dame’s Seamus Harding won his fourth diving state title at Montgomery High School on Wednesday night. The senior joins Ross Edfort, who dove at Franklin from 2008-11, as the only other diver to win four titles.
“This is bittersweet,” said Harding, who led the entire night. “It’s the end of an era, but it’s been quite a journey. I’m happy and sad at the same time because I know I’m moving on to bigger things, but I’m going to miss this."
Harding finished with a score of 598.85, topping second-place finisher, Caleb Amadaro of Clearview, by 180.40 points.
He set a state record last year with a score of 635.90.
“I just wanted to get every dive on my head,” Harding said. “I knew I would be happy with whatever I did and I just wanted to do the best that I could. My last dive was a little iffy, but I wanted to go out with a bang, and I did.”

Harding has been diving since he was seven, and he was able to tell quickly it was what he wanted to do in the future. He has been diving, both in school and for a club team, ever since. His next task will be diving for Duke University.
For all that Harding has done in the pool, he deflects the credit to his mentors.
“I just want to thank my coaches Eric Blevins and Elisa Sautter for getting me through this and helping me do the best I can do,” Harding said. “I really give all the credit to them.”
Harding will go down as arguably the best diver to ever come out of New Jersey. What does he think when he looks back on everything he has already accomplished?
“I’m at a loss for words,” Harding said.
