Here at Denville Medical, our commitment is to you and your health. We are committed to improving your quality of life by effective treatment and therapy, catered specifically to your needs. Unlike some of our competition, we take a team approach to your treatment plan working together as a unit to provide the best possible care for our patients.
It's easy to start your healing journey at Denville Medical. It all starts when you contact our office to make an appointment. From there, we set you on a course to recovery through a three-step process:
Meet the Doctor: During your initial doctor consultation, we will talk at length about what challenges you're currently facing. From there, we will speak about your goals and what you want to accomplish together. The first conversation with your doctor is crucial and lays the groundwork for a life-changing experience at Denville Medical.
Craft a Customized Treatment Plan for Your Recovery: Some medical and rehabilitation centers in New Jersey apply the same treatments to all patients, regardless of their needs and goals. At Denville Medical, we don't subscribe to the "one size fits all" model. Instead, we rely on our seasoned team of doctors and physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists and specialists to find the right solution to your unique situation.
Start Feeling the Relief: Our hard work and commitment to recovery will pay off through our personalized work together. With the help of our skilled doctors and chiropractors, you can finally start living the life you want to live - all on your own terms.
At Denville Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center, we are proud to provide holistic and wellness care that changes lives. Whether your body needs Chiropractor, physical therapy, acupuncture, or needs to see a specialist, we can help.
Here are just a few of the customized therapy services we offer to help our patients live with passion and confidence:
At Denville Medical, your licensed physical therapist's goal is to maximize your body's structure and increase its overall function for long-term health. To accomplish this, our physical therapists combine traditional and innovative techniques focused on increasing muscle strength and improving the body's range of motion. Our goal is to discover the root cause of your pain or mobility problems. That way, we can address the true reason why you need physical therapy, and work towards achieving long-lasting relief.
Of course, we understand that every patient is different. Your doctor can provide expert care in an encouraging environment by creating a customized treatment plan for you using modern, evidence-based research.
Chiropractor is a common service offered at Denville Medical, often combined with our physical therapy, sports medicine, and acupuncture treatments. When delivering a whole wellness and body approach, chiropractic treatments generally focus on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Our chiropractor's primary focus is to aid in adjusting your body's proper structure by improving nerve function and removing imbalances.
Our goal is to work together as a team to get you maximum medical improvement. To determine which chiropractic techniques and treatments are suitable for you, our chiropractors will conduct an initial evaluation to dig deep into your medical history, previous treatments, diagnostic tests, and current conditions. During your first consultation, be sure to ask any questions you may have. Once we agree on your customized chiropractic program, we will begin treatment as soon as possible.
Our patients typically feel relief during their initial visit. Although a reduction in pain is not an indication that the condition is gone, relief is the first step. As the chiropractor adjusts and manipulates your spine and joints, many feel a sense of relief as circulation is restored. A number of our patients admit to experiencing an increased range of motion after their first visit and increased function as they continue their care.
A single migraine can ruin your entire day. Migraines stem from irregular muscle contractions in the neck and head area. Anything from loud music to a bright computer screen can trigger these painful headaches. Fortunately, your chiropractor may be able to help provide an escape from the pain without surgery or drugs. Migraine symptoms include:
After speaking with your Doctor of Chiropractic, he or she may recommend treatments like trigger point therapy, which is a neuromuscular massage. Trigger point therapy boosts blood flow and releases pressure from compressed nerves in your body.
Whether you work in an office 40 hours a week or have to lift heavy items in a warehouse, neck pain is common across all people and professions. Neck pain is debilitating and can be caused by a range of issues like poor posture, work injuries, and harmful sleeping positions. These issues often strain your neck muscles. If you notice any of these symptoms, it could be time to consult with a chiropractor:
Chiropractor helps by relieving nerve and disc pressure. These nerves and discs are located between your vertebrae. After identifying the underlying cause of your pain, your chiropractor may use a combination of treatments to provide relief.
Have you been suffering from sharp pain that shoots down your back to your lower legs? If so, you might have sciatica. Your sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in your body. Sciatic pain begins when your sciatic nerve is pinched or trapped, or you have underlying conditions like spinal stenosis or a herniated disc. Symptoms of Sciatica often include:
Proper Chiropractor can relieve your pain in a gentle, natural way. Since your pain is unique, your treatment plan should be too. Therapies include ultrasounds to reduce swelling, cold therapies to minimize inflammation, and adjustments to restore your vertebrae's alignment.
Joint pain from conditions like Arthritis can strip the joy out of simple activities that we enjoy every day. Fortunately, if you're looking for a non-invasive way to ease joint pain, your chiropractor may be able to help. Great Chiropractor will maximize the functionality of your joints with techniques like ultrasounds, cold laser therapies, and joint manipulation. Usually caused by various forms of Arthritis, age, and injuries, symptoms of joint pain include:
If joint pain affects your daily life, contact a licensed chiropractor to begin treatment ASAP. Your chiropractor will develop a customized plan around your pain to address the root cause of your discomfort.
Our hips serve many functions, from bearing weight to running. Since they're engaged in just about every way we move, hip problems can have serious consequences. Like neck pain, hip pain is very common – 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.

Morris Arts’ newest exhibit, "A Sense of Place," will showcase the artwork of eight New Jersey artists, with 186 works of art filling the walls of four floors of the Atrium Gallery in Morristown.
The public is invited to the free opening reception on Feb. 2, from 7-9 p.m. The Atrium Gallery is located on floors 2-5 of the Morris County Administration and Records Building, 10 Court Street, Morristown.
Curated by Lynn L. Siebert, Director of Galleries at Morris Arts, the show is described as exploring the elemental human need for “a sense of place,” as global climate catastrophes, war and other dangers have displaced so many people throughout the world. Is "place" a real location, the evocation of a mood, a familiar landmark, a sight to see in a foreign country, the familiarity of one's own backyard, the shifting light in wooded wetlands or the gritty realism of urban streetscapes?
Each artist offers a unique definition of his/her "sense of place" and invites the viewers to contemplate their own interpretations. The artists are: Laurie Harden of Boonton, Todd Doney of Gillette, David Clair of Bernardsville, Kevin Burkitt of Neptune City, Mark de Mos of Morristown, Allan Gorman of West Orange, Lisa Lackey of Maplewood, and Marge Miccio of Trenton.
In the fifth floor atrium, Laurie Harden’s oils offer a veritable travelogue – from western plains to to Guatemala - capturing local flavors and moods with careful attention to animating details: the falling snow, a quiet task, a journey home or the splash of colors and patterns in marketplaces or at the rising dawn.
In the fifth floor elevator lobby, Todd Doney’s luminous, impressionistic oils transport viewers to mysterious places of woods and water. The play of light, the fleeting moment, the stillness of snow, the filtering of shadows on water or trees - all create unique “places” amidst the timelessness and beauty of Nature.
On the fourth floor atrium area, David Clair’s acrylics and mixed media works take the viewer to real and fictional locations, from castles and iconic houses to imagined spaces. Inventively combining paper and paint, Clair creates dramatic, scenic vistas and, in some works, depicts critical themes: disappearing beaches and forests, melting icecaps, extreme storms – all seen through intricate geometric prisms.
In the adjacent fourth floor hallway, Kevin Burkitt’s stark black and white photography revisits, in graphic detail, the devastating impact of Superstorm Sandy on its 10th anniversary. Photographed at night, these dramatic images reveal a destroyed “sense of place”: broken buildings filled with storm debris, skeletal structures with missing windows, collapsed walls and absent roofs. Powerfully evocative, these photos remind us that any sense of place is vulnerable to the destructive forces of Nature.
By contrast, in the third floor’s atrium area, Mark de Mos conveys a gentler “sense of place” using watercolors, oils and pastels to depict cozy interiors, lovely gardens, peaceful winter farmscapes, active cityscapes, serene parks and landmarks of our own Morristown area. His subtle use of color, line and nuanced composition invite the viewer into these places, conveyed with warmth, sensitivity and clear affection.
Filling the adjacent third floor hallway, Marge Miccio shares her sense of place with imaginative renderings of scenes from New Jersey to Maine. Each painting focuses on a very specific place - a building, a section of coastline, a pier, a streetscape – to the exclusion of other distracting sights. Whether in bright daylight or utilizing distinctive night settings (lit by streetlamps), Miccio’s scenes draw in the viewer and encourage contemplation of the mood and flavor of each scene.
In the second floor atrium, the viewer experiences the extraordinary, tangible textures of Allan Gorman’s urban scenes. With exacting precision, his oils convey the gritty feel of rusting steel girders, the glossy distortions of layered glass reflections, and the geometrically exacting play of planes/angles/shadows among steel, brick and glass structures of his streetscapes. Gorman defines his spaces with brutal directness, graphic precision and startling accuracy. A master of line, draftsmanship, light and shadow, he captures the fascinating interplay of patterns, differentiating the many textures of urban spaces through his uncanny and superb photorealistic oils.
And, in the adjacent, second floor hallway, Lisa Lackey offers her unique fabric and paper collages that memorialize glimpses of time and the hidden delights of ordinary places. Approaching her subjects from unusual angles, her works reveal the beauties found in daily life: the shadows cast by a white picket fence, the webbing on a patio chair, the colors and shapes forming patterns on a grocery aisle, the lines on a highway at night. In a sense, she is teaching the viewer to see anew – and to appreciate the unique places that surround us all.
Most of the artwork in "A Sense of Place" is available for sale. Catalogues are available at the show and online at www.morrisarts.org. The Atrium Art Gallery is free and open to the public during business hours, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. The exhibit remains in place until March 14.
Now celebrating its 50th Anniversary, Morris Arts is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1973 dedicated to building community through the arts. Using the arts to inspire, connect and engage, Morris Arts serves as a resource for Morris County with a special focus on arts programming in the community and in the schools, arts advocacy, and support of the Morris Area community of artists and arts organizations.

Morris County Commissioner John Krickus was sworn in tonight as the 2023 Director of the Board of County Commissioners after fellow board members Douglas Cabana, Thomas Mastrangelo and Christine Myers were sworn in to new, three-year terms and Morris County Sheriff James Gannon was sworn into another term.
Commissioner Krickus was sworn in as Director of the Board by state Sen. Steven Oroho as the Commissioner’s wife, Carolyn, held the bible.
“Morris County is the best run county in New Jersey, by far,” said Director Krickus, noting multiple accomplishments achieved by the county. “Some of the safest towns in New Jersey; county property taxes are among the lowest in the state, and our Vocational School and County College are nationally recognized. Morris residents enjoy our leading park system, open space, farmland and historic preservation. Is this heaven? No, it’s Morris County.”
Commissioner Myers, who had previously served on the board from 2016 to 2018, was sworn into her new term in office by Morris County Counsel John Napolitano, as her husband, Stan, held the bible. She was sworn in as Deputy Director of the Board by her nephew, attorney Robert Ferguson III.
The meeting opened with the swearing in of Commissioner Cabana, the longest serving member on the board, now beginning his tenth term. Sen. Anthony Bucco officiated as the bible was held by Amy Bucco, the Commissioner’s sister and the senator’s wife.
Commissioner Mastrangelo was sworn in by his daughter, Passaic County Assistant Prosecutor Brittney Mastrangelo, as the Commissioner’s wife, Debbie, held the bible.
Sheriff Gannon was sworn in by Morris/Sussex Superior Court Assignment Judge Stuart Minkowitz. The bible was held by the Sheriff’s daughter, Kate, along with his son-in-law, Matt, his grandchildren, Luca and Ella, and his girlfriend, Lisa.
The annual Morris County Reorganization Meeting was held in person in the Commissioners’ 5th Floor Public Meeting Room at the Morris County Administration & Records Building with full public attendance. It was the first time since 2020 and the onset of the pandemic that the reorganization meeting was not predominantly virtual.
Returning for the event was the Morris County Sheriff's Office Joint Honor Guard, with Robert McNally, Deputy Chief of Investigations of the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, playing the bagpipes. They were joined by a crowd of well-wishers, family, friends and public officials packing into the meeting room.
The National Anthem was sung by Ella Conroy and Victoria Cooney who are 10th grade students at the Morris County Vocational School. Ella is in the academy for design and Victoria is in the Academy for Biotechnology.
Invocations were provided by Monsignor John Hart of The Assumption Parish in Morristown and a benediction was
provided by Father Stepan Bilyk of Saint John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church in Whippany.
The Morris County Board of County Commissioners will hold their next work session and regular meeting on Jan. 11, 2022. The work session begins 4:30 p.m. and the regular meeting at 7 p.m. The meetings will continue to be held in public in the Administration & Records Building.

A new report calls prices "untenable for families," even for those who live in areas where rates are lower.MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Parents in Morris County with young children are spending about 11.3 percent of their income on child care, according to a new report that calls prices “untenable for families,” even for those who live in areas where rates are lower.That’s about $17,143 a year in 2022 dollars, according to the ...
MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Parents in Morris County with young children are spending about 11.3 percent of their income on child care, according to a new report that calls prices “untenable for families,” even for those who live in areas where rates are lower.
That’s about $17,143 a year in 2022 dollars, according to the National Database of Childcare Prices, which offers the most comprehensive look yet at how child care costs vary across 2,360 counties in 47 states. The report was released earlier this week by the Women’s Bureau of the Department of Labor.
The report uses the latest data on child care costs from 2018, adjusted for inflation to 2022 dollars.
It shows that nationally, child care prices ranged from $4,810 ($5,357 in 2022 dollars) for school-age home-based care in small counties to $15,417 ($17,171 in 2022 dollars) for infant center-based care in very large counties.
The cost of child care represents between 8-19.3 percent of the median family income per child, according to the report.
Also:
The burden is even higher for families with multiple children in before- and after-school care or center-based child care. The analysis showed 29 percent of families with children under 6 have two or more in that age-group.
High child care costs are keeping some families — especially women — out of the labor market, the Women’s Bureau report noted.
In Morris County, women make up 77.3 percent of the labor market and have median earnings of $41,558 a year. The annual median family income is $135,938 a year. Also, 2.8 percent of families live below the poverty line.
The analysis found that even a 10 percent increase in child care costs causes a 1 percentage point decrease in moms in the workforce. A 50 percent increase dropped the number of employed mothers by 2 percentage points, and in counties where child care costs more than doubled, maternal employment dropped 4 percentage points.
On average, counties with higher wages for women did have a higher number of working moms, the report said, but the higher pay didn’t fully compensate for a reduction in maternal employment associated with higher child care costs.
The Women’s Bureau report said the current funding system — relying primarily on overburdened families and underpaid child care workers, who earn a median of $13.22 an hour and are twice as likely as workers in other sectors to live below the poverty line — contributes to substantial employee turnover that leads to an inadequate supply of affordable child care.
The report said asking providers, who spend between 60 percent and 80 percent of their operating budgets on wages, is unfeasible. Yet families can’t pay more, either, “meaning the childcare sector needs substantial government investment to function adequately and eventually prosper,” the report said.
Compared with other high-wage countries, the U.S. government spends little on early child care and education, ranking 35th among Organisation for Economic Co-opertion and Development, or OECD, nations for spending on early care and education of children ages 0-5 — less than $500 per child.

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — It's been a long year. Sadly, we lost a number of excellent, long-running restaurants in Morris County throughout 2022.
Staples of many communities shut down for a variety of reasons, including retirement, inflation, or simply wanting something different.
Here are five fantastic eateries that we sadly had to part ways with in the past year.
Little Food Inn restaurant:
The Little Food Inn restaurant, which is located on the Newark Pompton Turnpike in Pompton Plains, served comfort food favorites such as chicken soup, sandwiches and meatloaf, among dozens of other popular options.
After operating for more than ten years, the restaurant closed, with the owners citing changes in the industry as the cause.
The Sparta Classic Diner:
The Sparta Classic Diner, located at 80 Woodport Road, in Sparta, caught on fire earlier this year, damaging the restaurant. The fire severely damaged areas of the restaurant, forcing it to "temporarily close" in July, but the diner has yet to reopen.
“Due to [the] fire, our restaurant will remain closed temporarily. Please visit back soon for updates,” the diner’s website still reads.
A potential reopening date has not been made public, and the company's final social media post was made shortly after the fire stating that the eatery will remain closed temporarily.
Bareburger:
The restaurant chain, Bareburger, which specializes in organic burgers and has plenty of vegan options, closed down its Morristown location only a few years after opening.
Bareburger opened its first and only in Morris County eatery in November 2019 at 11 South Street. It wasn't immediately made publicly clear why the Morristown restaurant closed. Patch sent a press inquiry to Bareburger but was given no response.
The since-closed eatery has been replaced by the brand-new pizzeria Coniglio's Old Fashioned.
Mara’s Café & Bakery
Mara’s Café & Bakery recently sold its final desserts at the Denville location. The longtime eatery closed permanently this year after nearly twenty years in business.
The bakery was originally set to close down in 2018 following some financial hardships. But ownership shifted to Allison Kohler, who revitalized Mara's. However, the business announced plans in July to close.
Howard Johnson's Restaurants
The Parsippany-headquartered Howard Johnson closed its final restaurant in the nation, shutting the doors of the Lake George, New York, establishment.
The historic business, which became the nation's largest restaurant chain in the 1960s and 70s, with more than 1,000 restaurants stopped operation over the last few years.
Howard Johnson was known for their iconic and classic 28 flavors.
You know what they say: great loss brings great opportunity, and a slew of new restaurants are joining the Morristown community. Check out Patch's list of new businesses that will open in 2023.
Are there any other businesses you were sad to see leave the neighborhood in 2022? Let Patch know!
