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.
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.

Counselors from the Montville Township Public School District are teaming up with the National Council for Mental Health and NewBridge Services to offer a course on mental wellness to parents of local students.
The free program aims to give parents and guardians tools to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance-use disorders, the district said.
"Montville Township Public Schools prioritizes mental health for students and staff," said Superintendent Thomas A. Gorman. "For several years, across Morris County's 'Proud to be Stigma Free' communities, the 'VIRTUAL Youth Mental Health First Aid' course has provided parents, guardians, and other trusted adults with effective tools to navigate the Mental Health First Aid needs of students in grades six through 12."
The online course is scheduled for Feb. 21 and Feb. 28 and will cover a range of topics including the signs of anxiety, depression, ADHD as well as strategies for interacting with children and adolescents in crisis. It will also expand on substance use, bullying, self-care and the influence of social media, the district said.
Anyone looking to learn about the role adults can play in bridging the gap between students in distress and professional help should register by Feb. 9. Organizers are limiting enrollment “to ensure a conducive learning environment,” according to the district announcement.
Participants are urged to register early, with just one parent or guardian per family, to accommodate as many families as possible, it states. Both sessions will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Those interested can register through the Montville Township Public Schools’ official website. Teachers, coaches and camp counselors are also invited to take part.

People who register will receive a link to the course, which will also include a 2-hour, self-paced online class that must be completed prior to Feb 21. Participants must attend both virtual evenings.

MONTVILLE, NJ - After fourteen months of hard work and preparation, Stella Lee's dream came true as the ribbon was cut last month on 2D Cafe Tornado in Towaco, NJ.
Lee, a native of Korea who also owns Serenity Nails & Spa next door, and partner Eric Quan have created a '2D World' in Montville Township where it's like being in a sketchbook, one that Lee has been creating in her mind for many years. The entire black and white café is hand drawn and painted from floor to ceiling, corner to corner.
"It feels really good to finally open the cafe," Lee said. "I'm really excited. This is my dream."

Lee hired recent art school graduate Kai Moon to bring her concepts to life in this black and white 2D world, the first of its kind in New Jersey and only the fifth like it in the United States, according to Lee.
Lee and Quan explained how the floor was finished six months before opening the café, but the wrong sealant was applied and the floor turned yellow overnight. They had to strip the entire floor and start the process of hand painting the artwork for a second time. One visit to the café will show that this was no small task and certainly a labor of love and dedication.
The concept of the 2D Cafe, along with its menu, is Asian-inspired. The menu includes coffee, bubble tea, fruit infused lemonades, Korean-inspired shaved ice, soup, sandwiches and fresh pastries and desserts.
In February and March, 2D Cafe Tornado is featuring Jazz@Tornado live music performances by vocalist Jeeminn Lee, the Seneca Black Quartet, Montville's Ed & Maxine Alstrom and many more.
"We want to make a concert, a party, a place where everyone can come and be happy," Lee said. She's hoping to make these live music performances a regular offering at the café.
"The town needs a place like this," Quan said. "A place where adults and children can also enjoy the space for parties and events." Quan mentioned that the café was designed with a party atmosphere in mind, where the different spaces can be rented for gatherings.
2D Cafe Tornado is located at 662 Main Road in Towaco, NJ and can be reached by calling 973-265-4222. To learn more about the café and upcoming Jazz@Tornado performances, visit its website (https://2dcafetornado.com/) or instagram (2d.cafetornado).

MONTVILLE, NJ - The Montville ice hockey team has picked up its play at precisely the right time, as it closed out the regular season with three-consecutive wins.
It hopes to carry that strong run of play into the postseason, which will begin on Thursday evening when the Mustangs- seeded third- will take on second-seeded Gill St. Bernard's in the Haas Cup semifinals at 6:15 p.m. at Mennen Arena.
"It’s always nice to get hot at the right time, especially right before the playoffs start," Montville coach Anthony Iannone said. "Throughout the year, we’ve had some good streaks, and some bad streaks, but this one feels different. Over the last nine periods, eight of them have been played very well defensively. We’ve been preaching all season that offense comes through good defense. As of late, we’re seeing it come to fruition. Winning breeds confidence and good culture, and we look to continue that while giving our best efforts to continue this streak."

The Mustangs won the Charette Cup last season, and moved up to the Haas Division this season. It has still managed to maintain a high level of play, finishing third in the higher division with a 6-4 record in the Haas.
The trio of Matthew Trifari (24 g., 20 a.), Logan Engle (13 g., 22 a.), and Cole Riley (17 g., 13 a.) have paced the team offensively, with goaltender Alexis Riley (.855 save percentage) holding things down defensively.
It has played Gill St. Bernard's twice this season, starting with a 5-1 win over the Knights on Jan. 11 in which Matt Trifari recorded a hat trick and an assist. It then fell, 2-1, on Jan. 17, in a tightly contested game in which it outshot Gill St. Bernard's 28-21.
"Gill St. Bernard's has been a tough opponent for us this year, but certainly one that’s easy to get up for," Iannone said. "Put aside me as a coach...as a hockey fan, our two games with Gill have just been competitive, fun, and one that most would love to be a part of. Gill St. Bernard's is having a season full of highlight reel plays and great goaltending. It will be a tough challenge for sure. On the other side, we have some big time players that they need to try and stop as well. I believe in our team and our coaches. We feel that this will be our biggest challenge yet, but without a doubt, a challenge we will rise for."
It's certainly going to be the team's biggest game of the season to date, and Iannone is hoping that the Montville community will show up in full force to experience the thrill of playoff hockey on Thursday.
"We can use the support from our Montville community," Iannone said. "Often in the playoffs, the crowds get larger, the noise gets louder, and the games are played at a higher level. Our team would love if we can get more fans in the seats. If you haven’t experienced playoff hockey, now’s the time!"

MONTVILLE – Anthony Feaster emphasized the significance of getting off to a fast start.
The Montville junior receiver knows all about the grind that comes with a high school football season and knows how important it is to grab a quick win whenever the opportunity presents itself.
So, for the second straight year, Feaster and the Mustangs took full advantage in the season opener. Montville topped Morris Catholic, 46-7 on Friday in a Super Football Conference crossover.
“It’s always good to get that first win. It’s the goal every summer,” Feaster said. “But the big question in the preseason was how the big guys were going to be up front. We lost a lot last year. But they did a heck of a job tonight and I’m proud of them.”
The Mustangs had handed the Crusaders a 51-21 setback in last season’s opener in Denville. In that game, Feaster scored four times on six passes for 184 yards. Though his numbers weren’t as gaudy on Friday night, he still managed to rush for two touchdowns. Montville junior quarterback Michael Ciullo rushed for two of his own.
“I’m pretty confident in my play style. But I can’t do it without our front line and all my teammates,” Feaster said. “Everyone did their job. It’s hard to game plan against us. I knew they [Morris Catholic] were going to try to double-team me on my routes. But I have some good guys on my side and it’s something we’ve been working on all summer.”
The Mustangs raced to a 22-0 first-quarter lead when Sha-Kim Hicks opened the scoring on a three-yard run on their opening drive just two minutes in. Feaster followed with a four-yard run six minutes later. A safety made it 16-0 before Ciullo scored his first touchdown on a three-yard run.
The Mustangs held a 32-0 lead at the half.
Montville starts off a season with a win for the third year in a row.
Friday was the third meeting between the schools in the last 20 years. The Mustangs are 3-0 against the Crusaders with wins in 2022 and 2003 (48-0).
Morris Catholic has lost six straight dating back to last season.
With Montville leading 14-0 and 3:47 to play in the first quarter, lineman Dante Palladino sacked Morris Catholic quarterback Ethan Everett in the end zone and forced a fumble for a safety and a 16-0 lead. Four plays later, Ciullo scored on a three-yard keeper to give the Mustangs a 22-0 advantage.
Feaster rushed for 62 yards on 11 carries and two touchdowns and had three receptions for 28 yards.
Ciullo rushed for 43 yards on five caries and two touchdowns and threw for 131 yards.
Montville's Corey Wong had five receptions for 84 yards.
Sha-Kim Hicks and R.J. Fardo had rushing touchdowns for the Mustangs.
Montville's Matt Martino connected on a 30-yard field goal.
“It’s nice to start off with a win. It gives us a push for the rest of the season. It builds confidence going into the next game. We have to keep rolling off this and stay focused. More wins will come. This is a great team win overall. Our offense played well and the defense didn’t allow them to score. A good all around performance.” – Ciullo.
“The energy has been really positive throughout the whole summer. Once we hit June we were flying. I’m excited for this team. We’re trying to balance out our offense this season and mix it up. We want everyone to get touches. We have a lot of skill guys that can do a lot of big things.” – Montville coach Rick DeBonta.

Already exceeding state capacity guidelines by 149 elementary students − and anticipating a dramatic enrollment surge − the Montville Board of Education will put a $70 million school renovation plan to a public vote on Dec. 12.
Should the referendum pass in full, property owners can expect to pay an extra $410 a year on their annual tax bill over the next 25 years, based on an average home price of $535,000.
Space is just one concern the district is trying to address. In addition to proposing the construction of 23 new classrooms, more funds would go to "stepped-up security" of two-stage entrances at five school buildings that do not have them now. The district also hopes to replace the original HVAC systems in some buildings with modern and more efficient heating and cooling equipment.
“Given these needs, the board determined that a bond referendum is the best tool for our district at this time,” Board of Education President David Modrak stated. “A referendum puts the decision in the hands of voters to decide the future of our schools.”
The district expects to serve an estimated 3,439 students in the upcoming school year in the high school, a middle school and five elementary schools. Not counting the referendum, the district is proposing a $92.1 million budget for the 2023-24 school year, an increase of $105,000 over the last year.
With new housing projects already in development adding nearly 1,000 units in Montvale, the district anticipates an increase of 410 elementary students by the 2027-28 school year.
"We have taken every step possible to maximize space," Superintendent Thomas Gorman wrote in a statement on Thursday following the board's unanimous referendum resolution vote on Aug. 22. “We are relying on these short-term methods with the recognition that the schools will continue needing space in the long term to support our educational services and programs.”
The referendum will be split into two questions for voters to decide. The first, focused on classroom construction, would cost $53 million. The second, focused on security and infrastructure, would cost nearly $17 million.
According to the terms of the resolution, Question 1 must pass for Question 2 to be approved. If voters reject Question 1 but approve Question 2, neither would pass.
Question 1: The board is proposing the construction of 23 new classrooms; the division of 14 classrooms into 28 rooms that are right-sized for small group instruction; and the addition of multi-purpose rooms at Hilldale, William Mason and Woodmont elementary schools.
"Other elementary schools in the district have these now, and they ease scheduling challenges in those busy buildings," Gorman explained in his statement. "Together, these proposed additions would meet MTPS needs that are driven by current enrollment, evolutions in the ways instructional space is used and projections for future enrollment.
Question 1 costs are estimated at $53,002,289. The board plans to contribute $6,575,000 from its capital reserve funds. State aid is committed for $3,671,775 toward these project costs. For a home with the average assessment in Montville Township, these improvements would increase taxes by $326 annually.
Question 2: This question proposes a total of $16,980,314 for infrastructure projects, mostly covering security and HVAC improvements. The state has committed $5,773,307 toward these projects. These improvements would cost the average property owner about $84 annually.
The district used regular operating funds this summer to create two-stage vestibule entrances at Cedar Hill Elementary School and Robert R. Lazar Middle School. These funds would add two-stage vestibules that would "continue the district’s efforts to keep schools secure," the referendum proposal reads.
School officials promised to explore additional security measures in February after a 19-year-old man entered Montville High School without permission and triggered a shelter-in-place order.
Elections:Morris County school board races feature many candidates but few choices in some districts
Gorman's statement explained the referendum process, in which a school district seeks permission to borrow money through the sale of bonds. Property taxes are used to “buy back,” or pay for this method of borrowing as payments are spread out similar to the way a consumer uses a home improvement loan.
The upfront funding would let the district manage large-scale improvements that would be difficult to cover through the regular operating budget, he wrote.
“In addition, a referendum is a strategic way to fund projects because it’s the only route to a dedicated source of state aid," Gorman wrote. “Taxpayers across New Jersey contribute to this state aid, but it is only awarded to school districts where voters approved bond sales. A voter-approved bond referendum could bring some of that money back to Montville Township.”
“After months of exploration, this spring we began sharing information about our district’s needs and the potential for a bond referendum,” Gorman stated. “With the board’s official action to move forward, we will accelerate our outreach with speaking engagements, a public presentation from the district’s architect, and a webinar-styled forum with Q&A. We are committed to offering multiple learning opportunities for the community now through December 12.”
