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.

MADISON − Ryan Scheifler has wanted to be an athletic director since college. As a Dickinson senior, he did an internship with the assistant athletic director, learning "scheduling, field usage, budgeting, and most of all, being out there with the teams, making sure everything runs smoothly."
Scheifler was hooked. It took a little longer to become an AD, but Scheifler's long-term dream came true on Tuesday night when he was introduced by the Madison Board of Education.
Scheifler, a Hackettstown assistant principal, is one of at least three new Morris County athletic directors starting this fall. Darren D'Alconzo was introduced at Chatham High School on Aug. 9. Morris Knolls is currently searching for a replacement for Michael Bouroult, who is now the assistant principal for student discipline and activities.
Scheifler was a special-education teacher in Hackettstown, where he grew up, before transitioning to administration. He was the assistant varsity baseball coach for 20 years, and an assistant football coach for eight.
"This has always been something I aspired to do," said Scheifler, who played football and baseball while growing up in Hackettstown.
Scheifler will take over from Andrea Padelsky, who is becoming an assistant principal in Jefferson. Padelsky's transition leaves Mount Olive's Colleen Suflay as the Northwest Jersey Athletic Conference's only female athletic director at a public NJAC school, and one of just four at all NJAC schools.
Madison principal David Dreschel said there were about 50 applicants. The hiring committee of administrators, teachers, coaches and a parent interviewed about half of them.
The committee was particularly pleased with Scheifler's experience "as an advocate for all kids," according to Drechsel. He presented a "program that develops young leaders ... and perpetuates that leadership to younger students," using the last period of the day to meet with students.
Scheifler will make $130,000. He is expected to start about Oct. 1.
"(He needs to) build relationships quickly with our kids, be someone they feel they can go to if they have concerns or issues," Drechsel said. "One of the great ways to find out if someone is successful is, when you walk down the hallway with them, or are outside at a game with them, how many students take the time to say hello or ask how they're doing. That shows he's been able to build relationships with them."
Ryan Scheifler and his wife Lindsay are raising four kids −12-year-old twin boys, a 9-year-old boy and a 6-year-old girl − in Morris Township. He's already looking forward to taking the boys to football games, and introducing his daughter to "female athletes she can be inspired by."
"This sort of role is unlike any other in public education," Scheifler said. "You can make the position part of your social life. ... What really draws me to community is that hometown feel: Main Street USA right out there, a tight-knit community."

Madison Borough must include undeveloped acres of Drew University property in the town’s calculation of land available for affordable housing if units can be built on them, a Morris County Superior Court judge ruled Friday. Judge Stephan C. Hansbury also ruled that the nonprofit Friends of the Drew Forest could join the case brought by Drew against Madison.
The lawsuit, filed in August, claimed Madison had underreported land available for affordable housing and purposely omitted acres Drew had hoped to sell. To use the land for housing, Drew would first need the borough to rezone it from educational uses to multi-family housing.
The case stems from the 1975 Mount Laurel decision, which prevents towns from discriminating based on income when setting their land-use policies. Towns base their fair share of affordable housing on their acres of developable land.
“There can be no doubt that an additional 53 or 63 acres of vacant developable land would have a significant impact” on Madison’s calculation of land available for affordable housing, Hansbury said in the ruling. Noting that time is of the essence in the case, he declined to rule on whether Madison intentionally omitted the land from its calculations.
The land borders Loantaka Way, on the western edge of Drew’s 168-acre campus.
The judge declined to invalidate Madison’s affordable housing plan, which Drew had requested, again citing the need for speed in solving the issue.
All sides welcomed the ruling.
“We are pleased that the judge ruled in Drew’s favor by finding the University’s surplus lands must be considered for realistic development potential,” said John Inglesino, the university’s attorney. “Drew University looks forward to working closely with Madison to accomplish our mutually beneficial goals.”
Madison’s mayor, Robert H. Conley, said borough officials were pleased that the court affirmed the borough’s current affordable housing plan, which includes 44 new units and other projects underway.
“As stated on multiple occasions, we remain willing to sit with Drew and pursue a solution that saves the Forest and helps Drew with their serious budget shortfalls,” he said. “We will continue to provide affordable housing while also working to preserve the forest, the tree canopy, and the aquifer that we all rely on to provide drinking water for Madison and surrounding communities.”
Lydia Chambers, a co-chair of Friends of the Drew Forest, was pleased that the value of the forest will be considered in the case.
“The entire 53 acres of the forest should be preserved,” Chambers said. She cited a report the group commissioned from the Davey Resource Group that showed the parcel was crucial to the Buried Valley Aquifer, which provides drinking water to Madison, Chatham Borough, East Hanover, and Florham Park, and provides habitat for the federally-endangered Indiana Bat.
The report concluded, “The Preserve has limited development potential but extremely high value as a preserved open space.”
The ruling outlines next steps in the case. Hansbury asked Drew to submit a survey of the land showing how many acres could be used to build homes. Then Madison must determine if housing could be built there and, if needed, revise its calculations of land available for housing.
Madison’s revised affordable housing plan could include land other than the Drew Forest, if additional parcels are available, the judge noted.

MADISON, NJ - Leave it to Harold Printer to provide us with a soul-searching, radically uncomfortable glimpse into human frailty, clashes and what could be our lives.
This all takes place in a run down house in West London, probably in the 1960s. It’s a bitter cold winter as well. The flat is owned by Mick (Jon Barker) who provides a place to live for his younger brother Aston (Isaac Hickox-Young). A destitute man, Davies (Paul Mullins), enters the scene and is hired by Mick as a caretaker of the premises.
The first act is all about control. Each person has a role to play, not the least being Aston. Although he appears helpless and dominated by the other two, he has his own agenda in the scheme of these relationships. It’s clear, however, that Mick owns the flat and can dictate the rules, including who sleeps where. Mick apparently has his own apartment elsewhere and simply stops in to make sure things are more or less all right.The convoluted conversations weave back and forth among the brothers and their older guest.
In Act II, however, it all comes to a head as passions rise and we see the conflicts of day to day living with no money to spare. It’s especially disturbing when we learn that Aston has had electric shock treatments for his mental problems. This creates more tension with Davies, who is still the outsider. Davies tries to explain why he is necessary in the household and, of course, he has nowhere else to go.
Mullins is superb as the lost soul who has an uncanny sense of the troubled atmosphere with the brothers. He is at times manipulative with Aston, but intimidated by Mick.. Barker can fluidly shift from a kind, caring person to a dogmatic controller.
Barker is in his 25th season with Shakespeare Theatre, while Mullins is in his 29th. The youngest of the three, Hickox-Young, is in his fifth season.
Artistic Director Bonnie Monte has kept this play riveting, with its extremes of humor, anger and defeat. In program notes, she observes, “‘The Caretaker’ is a work of almost endless depth.” She adds, “The play is simple and yet complex, funny yet deadly serious, heart-offending and heartbreaking” and more. She encourages audiences to try not to analyze this play, but rather simply observe and let it speak to you.
Sarah Beth Hall’s scenic design, Matthew E.Adelon’s lighting and Karen Greybash’s sound design all contribute to the intensity of the play. “The Caretaker” continues at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey through Oct. 9. For tickets, call 973-408-5600 or visit ShakespeareNJ.org. The theatre is located on the campus of Drew University in Madison.

MADISON, NJ — A Morris County Superior Court judge's official decision has brought an end to the legal dispute between Drew University and the Borough of Madison.
According to the final ruling, Madison Borough must include undeveloped acres of Drew University property in the town's calculation of land available for affordable housing if units can be built on them.
Superior Court Judge Stephan Hansbury previously ruled in Madison's favor in late August, saying the Borough's Affordable Housing settlement should not be overturned, but that he needed more time to make an official ruling.
The lawsuit was initially filed in June 2022 as a result of the Borough's settlement on affordable housing in 2020, which excluded undeveloped university land close to Loantaka Way from the plan.
Drew officials claim that this exclusion was intentional and that the borough concealed the existence of the land to keep it out of the settlement process.
"There can be no doubt that an additional 53 or 63 acres of vacant developable land would have a significant impact on Madison's realistic development potential," Hansbury said. However, the argument about whether Madison purposefully omitted the land from its calculations was rejected, according to the ruling.
The judge declined Drew's request to invalidate Madison's affordable housing plan, citing the need for speed in resolving the issue.
The ruling outlines the case's next steps.
Hansbury requested that Drew submit a survey of the land indicating how many acres could be used to build houses. Madison must then determine whether housing could be built there and, if necessary, revise its calculations of available land for housing.
The judge noted that Madison's revised affordable housing plan could include land other than the Drew Forest if additional parcels become available. "If it results in an increased fair share number, Madison will be given the opportunity to present a revised plan which not need include 'Drew Forest,' if other reasonable means are presented," Hansbury said.
Drew University officials welcomed the ruling.
“We are pleased that the judge ruled in Drew’s favor by finding the University’s surplus lands must be considered for realistic development potential,” said John Inglesino, the university’s attorney. “Drew University looks forward to working closely with Madison to accomplish our mutually beneficial goals.”
