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.

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, NJ — Ash trees have been dying at increased rates in Mendham Township, according to a representative of the Mendham Township Tree Protection Committee.
Concerns over public safety and the increase in dying trees have led the Mendham Township Committee to introduce an ordinance that would allow for funds to be allocated for the removal of dangerous and infected trees.
The ordinance would authorize the township to use money from the Open Space Trust Fund to cut, remove, or otherwise make safe parts of open space and recreation areas traversed by trails and hiking paths open to the public.
At the July 24 committee meeting, Brian Hays, a representative of the Mendham Township Tree Protection Committee, told the mayor and committee members that the township's infection rate has been steadily increasing over the years.
Hays warned against increased activity from the emerald ash borer beetle and asked residents to check their trees for this destructive infestation. This invasive species kills ash trees by tunneling through the bark, disrupting the tree's vascular system, and preventing nutrients from reaching the leaves.
Infested ash trees can quickly deteriorate and become dangerous, with limbs falling on your personal property, your neighbor's personal property, sidewalks and roadways.
According to Hayes, the Tree Protection Committee was awarded a grant five years ago to inventory all of Mendham Township's roads for ash trees. When they finished the survey, the total was around 5,000.
"Because of the scope of the problem and the number of trees, the township committee passed an ordinance, placing the responsibility of removing the dead or hazardous trees in the township right of way on the property owner," Hays said.
According to Hayes, leaving the burden in the hands of the public was causing concern among the committee due to the rapid progression of ash tree disease. "Considering the potential liability in the event of an injury or death, it makes sense to address the trees with advanced deterioration as soon as possible," Hays said.
The ordinance, which the committee must yet approve, would limit the town's use of Open Space Trust Fund money to six months. Officials stated that the funds might also be utilized to educate the public and issue cautions about wild or distant regions where tree removal is impractical.
According to the municipality, the ordinance was necessary since the cost of managing and cutting down potentially hundreds of ash trees exceeded the usual municipal budget's restrictions.
The ash tree now accounts for approximately 10 percent of the tree canopy in Mendham Township, and the disease is expected to wipe off all of those trees over time as the disease spreads.

MENDHAM, NJ — Mendham Township Middle School, in cooperation with the Morris County School Boards Association and the New Jersey School Boards Association, has nominated its 2024 Unsung Hero.
This year, that honor has been given to eighth-grade student Francessca Voyles.
What makes an unsung hero? According to the program, it is a person who does great deeds but receives little or no recognition. These students have overcome great difficulties and persevered.
The award is given out annually by the NJSBA to sixth, eighth and twelfth grade students who demonstrate quiet leadership and model citizenship.
The Mendham Township Middle School teachers and staff who nominated Voyles agree that she is a true example of an unsung hero.
“We are so proud of Francessca. Sometimes our fantastic students don’t always get the loudest applause or the biggest cheers,” says Mendham Township Middle School Principal Dr. PJ. Ciccone. “This award is a perfect opportunity for us teachers and administration to shout them out.”
The New Jersey School Boards Association aims to uplift students who make outstanding contributions to their schools and communities but are often overlooked by other traditional student recognition programs.
Voyles, along with other students from Morris County, will have the opportunity to be among the county’s Unsung Heroes of 2024.
At Mendham Township Middle School, Voyles demonstrates her leadership and dedication in the sports arena as the captain of the soccer team.
"She helps support her fellow teammates and stepped up to take on the position of goalkeeper—one of the most difficult and integral positions on the field—when the team needed it most," district officials said.
Academically, Voyles excels in mathematics, earning a seat in Honors Algebra 1. Her versatility in and out of the classroom sets a positive example for her peers. Her willingness to lend a helping hand has created a supportive and inclusive environment, fostering success not only for herself but for those around her, the district said in a statement.
"She has garnered respect from peers, teachers, and the administration alike, which led to her teachers and staff at MTMS to nominate her," district officials said.
The wait is nearly over, as plans to open the new Dunkin' on Main Street could come to fruition as early as next week.

MENDHAM, NJ — After several years of waiting, multiple trips before the borough's planning board, and the cancellation of plans for a drive-thru, the new Dunkin' on Main Street could open as soon as next week.
According to Mendham Borough Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner, the owner of the new coffee and donut shop stated that they are awaiting final approval from the town engineer before opening.
"Once that sign-off has been completed, he said he can be open in a matter of days. He's hoping for a soft opening next week," Serrano Glassner said.
The coffee shop, which has been described as a "next-generation Dunkin restaurant," was approved for 25 East Main Street in December 2018, following initial public objections to the proposed drive-thru.
At the time, the borough stated that although the use of a fast food restaurant is permitted in the HB Zone, a drive-thru is not. As a result, the applicant petitioned the Board of Adjustment for "d" variance relief to allow the drive-thru.
This application, however, did not proceed to hearings and was withdrawn in the face of significant apparent opposition, particularly from residents near the site. Following that, the applicant revised its plan by removing the drive-thru.
Since the approval, some residents have expressed concerns on social media about preserving the borough's historic nature, claiming that the modern signage did not fit the community's character. "I am a DD fan, but I think the huge Dunkin sign could have been made to look a little more colonial since we live in such a historic town," one resident wrote on Facebook.
Mayor Serrano Glassner, on the other hand, claims that Dunkin fulfilled all of the State, County, and Municipal requirements for opening a business while also designing a building that is historically consistent with the borough.
"As Mayor, I am honored to welcome new businesses like Dunkin's. Dunkin's has so much they will be contributing to our community, including the beautiful design of the building, which is historically consistent with our Main Street area. I've had countless residents ask me when they are opening, so I know Dunkin's will be getting a warm reception when they open their doors and serve up those first Munchkins," Serrano Glassner said.
The new location is Dunkin's only one in the Medhams; the closest other location is at 112 US-206 in Chester.

Why are you seeking a run for school board?
As a parent with children in the school system, I have a vested interest in the quality of their education and I am running for the school board to add a fresh perspective and voice to issues that concern Mendham Township residents.
What is a pressing issue in the school district?
After speaking with many parents, one of the most pressing issues is the lack of transparency. Specifically, the process of how books, also referred to as “resource texts” are chosen. The educational content being presented to students has changed dramatically over the years.
Earlier in 2023, there was community outrage regarding a resource text utilized in an English senior class called “FUN HOME.” This a graphic novel and contains pornographic images of people having sex. The images show oral sex, a picture of a topless 11-year-old girl, masturbation, explicit language and contains sexual metaphors meant to stimulate arousal. Despite over 470 people objecting to having this book in the classroom, my opponent ignored those voices and voted in favor of the book. He justified his vote by saying he created a “winning compromise” by allowing it to be a “student choice.”
Opposing parents call it an “OPT OUT” Either way, it is not a solution. Teachers have already expressed they don’t know how to teach two texts simultaneously and students could be potentially be ostracized for their decision or feel the social pressures to OPT IN.
Sadly, I have discovered that highly sexual content is now common to find at almost all grade levels within the classroom setting. A mother recently shared with me that her daughter, while in 11th-grade Spanish class, watched an R rated movie called “Like Water for Chocolate.” Her daughter was shocked to find this movie included people having sex & was shown full frontal nudity of both men and women. I was told permission slips weren’t required in this classroom of 16-year-old students. You may be asking yourself, why would a Spanish class select a movie that shows people having sex? I don’t know the answer to that, but what I can share with you is that under the leadership of my opponent, a policy was created that eliminated the board’s oversight responsibilities for the curriculum and book selection content.
The board is in place for this exact reason, to provide oversight. In addition, under his leadership, there was no documentation found supporting FUN HOME’s approval. “FUN HOME” and “Like Water for Chocolate” are distractions to learning. We need to focus on improving our academic performance. US News and World Report has shown West Morris High School has dropped 3 years in a row while competing districts have kept their ratings.
What sets you apart from the other candidates?
In addition to what I outlined above, I have children in the school system which gives me a personal stake in the quality of their education. My opponent does not. I hear directly from other students, parents, and educators which provides me with many unique perspectives.
For the past 9 years, working for a healthcare performance improvement company has provided me with the experience of collaborating with people of varying backgrounds and has equipped me with the knowledge and experience to support effective strategies that will ensure the wise use of our tax dollars.
The information I have acquired over the years is transferrable to the education system. If permitted, I can provide guidance on how the school may be able to take advantage of savings opportunities, for example, in the area of nutrition, facilities management & purchased services.
What special qualifications do you bring to help meet the challenge?
In life, I try to take a common-sense approach to evaluating circumstances where there are mixed interpretations and beliefs. There is a significant difference between providing accurate, age-appropriate sexual education versus simply exposing minors to sexually explicit content just for the sake of it. It is known that exposing kids to graphic material that is not age-appropriate has negative consequences to their mental health.
I feel it is contradictory when a school shares a growing concern about the mental health issues students are facing while simultaneously exposing students to sexual content that they are unable to emotionally process.
In addition, I find it hard to believe that implementing a policy that says our school does not condone the use of sexually explicit material in the classroom would somehow narrow our pool of talented teachers. Furthermore, the argument that the content is somehow okay because minors are already likely exposed to it is negligent in my eyes.
What else would you like to share about yourself or your campaign?
As I have been walking door to door, it appears I am being labeled as a “book banner”. I am sure the title “movie banner” is coming soon. I am not advocating book or movie banning. I find this description very narrow-minded. I am simply against the use of any pornography/sexually explicit material as part of the school’s curriculum. We could never show this type of material in the corporate world. Why are we encouraging it in the school system? If a family wants expose their kids to this type of material, it can still be purchased online, checked out of the library or be streamed. Lastly, I am really excited about the opportunity to serve my community that I have grown to love so much.
