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.

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.
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.

MENDHAM-CHESTER, NJ — Mendham and Chester, like other towns in New Jersey, used to go through a lot of plastic bags. But according to a recent study, a state ban is keeping more than two million of them out of the trash every year in the township.
It’s been nearly two years since New Jersey banned stores and supermarkets from handing out single-use plastic bags to their customers, and the debate over the ban’s effectiveness continues to swirl.
Gov. Phil Murphy signed the ban into law in 2020. It became active in May 2022. Learn more about what is allowed – and what isn’t – on the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s website.
Supporters of the ban have said it is reducing pollution and litter, arguing that New Jersey isn’t the only state with a bag ban – and that the ban is working all across the nation, including in Mendham and Chester.
According to Environment America, a national network of 30 advocacy groups, New Jersey’s ban prevents 1,467,568 bags from entering the trash stream in Mendham Borough every year. Those bags would stretch 255 miles if laid side by side, saving 7,397 gallons of oil used to produce them, the group says.
In Mendham Township, the count was 1,780,144 fewer single-use plastic bags which would save 8,972 gallons of oil and stretch 309 miles if laid side-by-side, the group said. Statistics are based on population totals.
Meanwhile, the study says the ban prevents 2,284,824 bags from going in the trash Chester trash stream every year. Those bags would stretch 397 miles if laid side by side, saving 11,516 gallons of oil used to produce them, the group says. That is based on Chester's population of 7,719 residents.
Other environmental advocates have agreed that the bag ban is working in New Jersey.
“It is obvious that New Jersey’s well-designed single-use plastic bag ban has successfully reduced plastic bag use and associated litter and pollution,” said JoAnn Gemenden, executive director at the New Jersey Clean Communities Council.
“When I drive around or go shopping, it’s rare for me to see a single-use bag blowing in the wind or discarded in a shopping cart,” Gemenden said. “Because of this law, New Jersey has considerably less visible litter.”
Critics have countered that plastic bag bans are a burden on businesses and their customers – and they aren’t nearly as effective as their supporters claim.
A recent study said that since the state is now relying on heavier reusable bags — most of which are made of non-woven polypropylene — three times more plastic (by the pound) is being produced than before the ban. Researchers also said that greenhouse gas emissions from the production of those bags have skyrocketed by 500 percent compared to 2015 levels.
The study comes from Freedonia Custom Research — a market-research firm. Advocates have bashed the analysis, pointing out that it was paid for by a group that “represents the interests of U.S.-based manufacturers and recyclers of plastic bags.”

MENDHAM, NJ — Last week, the wait finally ended as the anticipated Dunkin' on Main Street opened its doors to the Mendham community after years of planning.
The coffee shop, which has been described as a "next-generation Dunkin' restaurant," was first approved for 25 East Main Street in December 2018, following initial public objections to the proposed drive-thru and commercial business.
However, this application was withdrawn before hearings could begin because of strong apparent opposition, notably from nearby neighbors. After that, the application changed its design by getting rid of the drive-through.
Since the acceptance, several locals have voiced worries about maintaining the borough's historic heritage on social media, arguing that the contemporary signs did not suit the neighborhood's culture.
The store, which opened last week, was designed to be historically consistent with the borough's standards, something that Mendham Borough Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner and other residents said was very important to the community.
Along with the traditional architecture, the new Dunkin' shop found additional ways to honor the heritage of its location.
A framed historical narrative discussing the previous use of the site has been hung inside the building.
The plaque states that the 25 East Mendham site was once the home of Gabriel Saccone, who was a founding father of Mendham and settled there in 1868 after emigrating from Italy.
Saccone, who was a farmer, used the site to provide housing to fellow immigrants who ventured to Mendham to seek a better life in the United States. In the 1920s, a former tenant of the boarding house, Pietro Clementi, a native of Sicily, became the owner of the home and continued to operate it as a boarding house.
In the 1970s, the building became a bank and then, later, a French restaurant for more than two decades.
The property is currently home to Dunkin', one of the world's greatest international coffee and doughnut corporations, which was started in 1950 and now has over 13,200 locations in almost 40 countries.
"As Mayor, I am honored to welcome new businesses like Dunkin's. Dunkin's has so much they will be contributing to our community," Glassner previously told Patch.
The coffee and doughnut shop is open every day from 5 a.m. until 8 p.m.

MENDHAM, NJ — Hilltop Elementary School was among nine schools in New Jersey and about 350 nationwide named Tuesday as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2023 by the U.S. Department of Education.
The education department stated in a news release that schools were given the distinction based on overall academic performance or development in bridging achievement disparities between student groups on examinations.
Hilltop Elementary School, located at 12 Hilltop Road in Mendham Borough, is the only Morris County school to make the list.
"Becoming a member of the 40th cohort of the National Blue Ribbon Schools is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Hilltop Elementary School community. This prestigious award affirms the values and mission of our elementary school, which endeavors to create a community filled with lifelong learners who strive for personal growth and academic excellence and act as responsible citizens who contribute to an ever-changing world," Superintendent of Schools Mitzi N. Morillo said.
This is not the first time this year that the Mendham Borough School District has been noticed by the Department of Education, this spring, two of the top 30 best-scoring schools in New Jersey’s school report cards were in Mendham Borough.
"Mountain View Middle School was named the longest-standing New Jersey School to Watch last year, and Hilltop Elementary School has received a New Jersey School of Character redesignation. These are examples of how we balance academic rigor with character development and social-emotional learning, providing the balance children need," Morillo previously told Patch. "It would be naive to think that a ranking could encompass what makes the Mendham Borough schools outstanding. Our work is never done."
The Mendham Borough School District is a public school district that serves roughly 483 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade from Mendham Borough.
Here are the nine Blue Ribbon honorees from New Jersey:
According to the education department, honoree schools share a few traits. Leaders in the school uphold high standards for everyone and communicate their vision of greatness.
The Department added that these schools value and support teachers and staff with professional learning and are efficient and innovative. Students work hard to succeed, and schools use data to guide instruction.
The Department recognizes all schools in one of two categories, based on student scores and graduation rates:
"Being recognized as an Exemplary High Performing School is rewarding and motivating to continue our journey as we build upon excellence. Congratulations to our students, teachers, administrators, parents, and members of the Board of Education; we share this accomplishment with all of you," Morillo said.

MENDHAM/CHESTER, NJ — Next month, residents will be asked to vote on one question on the ballot, looking to spend a total of an additional $26 million to fund critical improvements and updates around the West Morris Regional High School District.
The vote, which was approved by the Board of Education in December, is scheduled for March 12.
According to district officials, if voters approve the referendum, both schools would receive significant similar upgrades, including air conditioning in all classrooms, cafeteria and kitchen upgrades, and roof and parking lot repairs
"West Morris Central and West Morris Mendham are sources of community pride for the towns that send to the district. Taking care of the infrastructure at both schools is a top priority for the Board of Education and the communities it serves," the district said.
The $26 million plan also includes updates to both schools' technology labs and the field house shower and storage facilities. The West Morris Mendham culinary arts room would be refurbished to improve student learning and meet student interest, and the public address system would be upgraded to match West Morris Central's.
According to district officials, West Morris Regional is in the unique position of presenting voters with a plan that would decrease school debt taxes by about 35 percent.
Because the district is nearing the end of its debt payments from the last referendum, which was passed in 2004, if the current referendum is approved, taxpayers will pay less than they did before.
As a result, taxpayers would receive an average 35 percent reduction in the school debt part of their property tax bills.
The entire cost of the referendum would be $26,047,276, with the state providing $7,983,309 to lower local school debt taxes. The state tax dollars, which residents of Morris County have already paid to the state, will only be given to the West Morris Regional High School District if voters approve the referendum.
Here is the tax breakdown for Mendham and Chester:
Community: | Average Assessed Value | Annual Cost Replacement Debt | Cost Savings Per Year |
Chester Borough | $520,000 | $66 | -$35 |
Chester Township | $660,000 | $123 | -$64 |
Mendham Borough | $695,000 | $121 | -$63 |
Mendham Township | $940,000 | $126 | -$66 |
At West Morris Mendham, the projects include:
Due to funding limits, neither the school's halls nor field houses will be air-conditioned, nor will West Morris Central's auxiliary gym. The district stated that they will utilize separate funds to add air conditioning to the field buildings in the future.
If voters pass the referendum, the district will be able to proceed with the next round of selling bonds and seeking competitive construction bids, which could begin as early as summer 2024 for certain projects.
Work would be scheduled in coordination with the district to keep the level of disruption to a minimum.
The projects are expected to be completed over three to four years.

MENDHAM, NJ — Mendham Township Middle School officials recently recognized students and staff for their achievements on new U.S. News & World Report education rankings.
The rankings once again show that Mendham Township continues to rank among the best K–8 schools in New Jersey.
Specifically, Mendham Township Middle School ranked number 7 among the top 10 public middle schools in the Garden State.
The news outlet based its 2024 Best Elementary and Middle School rankings on publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Education, focusing on student proficiency in core subject areas.
“U.S. News & World Report showed what we have always known: Mendham Township School District provides an exceptional education for our students,” said Superintendent Sal Constantino. “We’re proud of the faculty, staff, students, and their parents, whose hard work and dedication reflects positively on the district and our town.”
The U.S. News list includes data on more than 79,000 public elementary and middle schools nationwide.
In the analysis, U.S. News looked closely at state assessments of students who were proficient or above-proficient in mathematics and reading/language arts, while also accounting for student backgrounds, achievement in core subjects, and how well schools are educating their students. Student-teacher ratios are applied to break ties in the overall score.
The rankings were based on publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Education and reflected state assessments from the 2020–21 school year—the first school year that followed the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“While we know that there are many factors that contribute to quality schools beyond state assessments, it is nice to be recognized nationally by a media outlet for the hard work of our collective school community,” said Mendham Township Middle School Principal Patrick Ciccone. “I especially want to congratulate MTMS’s faculty, whose teaching and mentoring of our students is reflected in the U.S. News & World Report ranking.”
To be included in district-level rankings, at least two of the top-performing schools must rank in the top 75 percent of the overall elementary or middle school rankings to qualify for district-level recognition.
