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.

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.
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.

MOUNT ARLINGTON - George Markou, owner of Pub 199, says the roof will be on his restaurant early next week and believes he'll reopen by Memorial Day weekend, if not sooner.
"I don't think anybody can stop me," Markou said. "I guarantee it. I'm going to sell clams on Memorial Day weekend."
Pub 199 caught fire around 4:15 a.m. on Jan. 11 and that fire progressed to a three-alarm blaze, Mount Arlington Fire Chief Steve Norman has said. The fire collapsed the roof and sections of the floor near the fireplace as it progressed into the basement, Norman said.
Much of the pub, which was known for its seafood and numerous game animal heads on the walls, burned despite fire departments' attempts to douse the blaze from the roof of the establishment using a ladder truck. Markou and his wife bought Pub 199, which was formerly known as Rooney's Pub, in 1989.
Markou, 67, has said the fire "was like a disaster," but he would "be back again."
Not wanting to wait for insurance to pay out before rebuilding the Howard Boulevard restaurant, Markou began repair efforts right away, demolishing the remains of the former restaurant so that crews could begin construction. Markou said some of his employees are currently on unemployment, but he expects "95 percent" of them to return before the restaurant reopens.
because of the atmosphere and decoration, such as the taxidermied elephant and a giraffe. The destruction of the restaurant, he said, was a loss to the community and that Markou had built it from nothing.
"That's a true American success story," Ondish said. "I'm sorry to see (Markou) go through this."
Pub 199 featured taxidermied game animals from Markou's various hunts and fishing expeditions from places such as Alaska, Brazil, New Zealand and South Africa.
Markou said many people wanted to donate taxidermied animals to the restaurant and that he expected to have more by April, due in part to his son.
Markou said he is still an avid hunter and fisherman, so he plans to contribute to the decorations.
"I've still got time," Markou said. "I'm 67 years old and I'm strong. I can still hunt."
Regarding repair efforts, Markou said, constructions crews have worked quickly to help rebuild the restaurant.
Karl Helfrick, whose carpentry company was among crews on site Wednesday morning, said Markou's goal of reopening by Memorial Day weekend was "definitely obtainable."
"George has been a pleasure to work for," Helfrick added.
While he expected insurance to cover most of the damage, Markou said t
. He could remember every hunt and many memories from his restaurant but the fire had claimed all of it.
The last time Markou saw the undamaged restaurant was on Jan. 10, when he left around 1:30 p.m. that day for a hunting trip in Belvedere. Markou, who lives behind the restaurant, said he hadn't gone back inside that night when he returned home because he was tired.
Markou said the restaurant closed up around 10:38 p.m. on Jan. 10. Hours later, Markou said, he received a call from his security company, Testa Security Systems, around 4 a.m. reporting an alarm. Minutes later, as he was making his way downstairs, Markou said, the company called back to tell him the place was on fire.
Markou said he ran outside in his socks to see smoke pouring out of his restaurant. Shortly thereafter, he lost the roof. The building was consumed in about 35 minutes, he said.
During a subsequent investigation, Markou said, fire officials told him that security footage inside the restaurant showed power to the feed cut out around 1 a.m. Markou said he was frustrated that he hadn't received a call from his security company until three hours later.
According to Markou, fire officials told him the blaze began with the electrical panel in the utility room. He said it was unclear how the fire spread since so much damage was sustained near the fireplace, with a section of the floor collapsing into the basement.
Hours after the January fire, customers and local residents already began speculating Markou would

ROXBURY, NJ – There's a reason Roxbury Councilwoman Jaki Albrecht plans to attend tomorrow's ribbon-cutting ceremony for a trail system in Mount Arlington: The meandering pathways benefit Roxbury too.
Mount Arlington’s Lake Rogerene Trails system, to be celebrated 9 a.m. at the pathway's trailhead, interchanges deep in the woods with Roxbury's 1.3-mile Ice Age Trail at Orben Park. In fact, the Lake Rogerene Trails trailhead is situated on Orben Drive right up the road from the trailhead for the Ice Age Trail.
Both trails wind through the hilly woods northwest of Lake Rogerene and east of Shippenport Road.

Albrecht said she recently joined Mount Arlington Mayor Michael Stanzilis and other Mount Arlington officials in a Zoom discussion about trails. She said the connection between the two municipalities’ pathways was mentioned in the chat.
“This gives a great opportunity to residents of Mount Arlington and Roxbury to see all the great natural features up there, especially in winter when the views open up,” Albrecht said.
The ribbon-cutting for Roxbury's Ice Age Trail took place in May 2014.
The Mount Arlington trail system cost about $378,000 to preserve as open space. About $297,000 of that came from a Morris County Trails Grant Program.

Despite claims it found a path to save $100 million in taxpayer dollars over the next decade, a state-authorized commission to study a merger of Roxbury and Mount Arlington met for the last time Wednesday in Roxbury.
Craig Heard, chairman of the Roxbury-Mount Arlington Consolidation Study Commission, said after more than five years of work, the commission was unable to muster interest in consolidation among elected leaders or residents.
In August, Heard said the commission, authorized by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs Local Finance Board in 2014, had hit "a brick wall" and would seek an extension to continue its work until December 2020.
"The local board did not grant them the one-year extension they requested," said Roxbury Mayor Robert DeFillippo, a consolidation opponent.
Wednesday, the commission called a halt to the effort, voting by resolution to dissolve at the end of the year.
"The Consolidation Commission I chaired for over 4 1/2 years completes our mission," Heard wrote in a social-media post on Thursday. "Now it is time for Roxbury and Mount Arlington to use our study reports as a blueprint to find shared services that can be implemented to reduce property taxes for the residents."
Following the guidelines of the Municipal Consolidation Act of 2007, the process began in 2012, when groups from Roxbury and Mount Arlington formed and each collected more than 400 signatures from the respective municipalities.
The petitions moved the Local Finance Board in 2014 to approve their application calling for the creation of a commission to study a possible consolidation.
Heard in August said the commission was "so darn close" to producing a study he feels will project annual savings to the combined towns, ranging from $9.2 million per year, based on their own calculations, to $11.8 million annually, based on a recent independent CPA study ordered by the commission.
But sticking points in the complex state statute guiding the formal consolidation process stalled the efforts. The primary problem, Heard said, are rules regarding the equal distribution of consolidation savings.
"If we consolidated using the commission's numbers of 9.2%, Roxbury would have an 8% reduction in property taxes and Mount Arlington would have a 10% reduction," Heard explained. "That's great, except the statute requires you to equalize the taxes for both municipalities. And when Mount Arlington goes into Roxbury, the equalization doesn't create any savings for Mount Arlington."
The mayors of both towns questioned the commission's findings, as did many residents who expressed opposition in public meetings and on social media.
DeFilippo said the equalization rules would effectively negate the savings to Roxbury's 23,000 residents, to the benefit of 5,000 Mount Arlington residents.
"That's Craig's claim: If we could only eliminate equalization, then we could claim all these savings," DeFillippo said. "There's a reason why equalization is in there, to make sure each town pays its fair share, that it is equitably distributed."
"I have several concerns. One is the study itself, and the other is: Does Mount Arlington need this or want this?" Mount Arlington Mayor Michael Stanzilis said. "Clearly, Mount Arlington does not want this, and the people are angry that this is even being foisted on them."
Heard also stated at an Oct. 23 meeting of the commission that some of its volunteer members "were attacked online, publicly and had their businesses attacked."
"We started doing shared services long before the commission got involved," DeFillippo said. "We have other shared-service opportunities we are pursuing. I'm pleased the commission is now disbanded, and we can get back to running the communities for the residents."

An elusive record that has stood strong for nearly 122 years might have been broken during the monster snowstorm that has pummeled New Jersey during the past three days.
The National Weather Service announced Tuesday night it received a preliminary report of 35.1 inches of snow on the ground in Mount Arlington in Morris County.
If that report is confirmed, it would top the state’s longtime record of 34 inches of snow, which fell during a multi-day blizzard that stretched from Feb. 11 to Feb. 14 in 1899.
However, the weather service is not declaring this a record yet, agency meteorologist Patrick O’Hara said. Even though the agency has no reason to doubt the veracity of the snowfall report, it still has to go through a strict process to confirm it.
O’Hara said the 35-inch snow report in Mount Arlington came from a trained weather observer, someone who likely knows the proper way to accurately measure snow. But to be declared a new statewide record, it has to be investigated further.
And it’s not a quick process.
“It’ll go through a lot of scrutiny,” O’Hara said. “It won’t be days, it won’t be weeks. I’ll probably be months.”
On Monday, after some early snowfall reports of 30 inches were received by the National Weather Service, New Jersey State Climatologist David Robinson echoed what O’Hara said, saying all snowfall measurements are considered preliminary until they can be confirmed.
Robinson, whose office at Rutgers University oversees state climate data and records dating all the way back to 1895, said any snowfall reports for something as significant as a statewide record would have to undergo a lot of scrutiny under procedures set up by the National Centers for Environmental Information, formerly known as the National Climatic Data Center.
Robinson said the process involves determining the procedure used by the weather observer who reported the snowfall measurement, and making sure the procedure adheres to proper standards in measuring snow.
It’s not something weather and climate experts take lightly, Robinson noted. Which is why the National Weather Service can’t declare the 35-inch snowfall report as a record right now.
If the measurement holds up, it would be among several hefty snowfall totals of 30-plus inches that were reported Monday night and Tuesday — the second and third days of this three-day winter storm.
(UPDATE: The National Weather Service said the preliminary Mount Arlington snowfall total was originally reported as 35.5 inches, but the person who took the measurement later corrected the total to 35.1 inches.)
As of now, these are the highest preliminary snow totals across New Jersey during this epic storm:

An updated story on this fire has been posted.
MOUNT ARLINGTON — The destruction of an iconic Mount Arlington restaurant early Friday morning is a tragic loss for the community, Mayor Art Ondish said.
Pub 199 on Howard Boulevard caught fire around 4:15 a.m.. The blaze collapsed the roof and sections of the floor near the fireplace as it progressed into the basement, Mount Arlington Fire Chief Steve Norman said.
Ondish said Pub 199 was "an icon" because of the atmosphere and decoration, which featured heads of game animals including an elephant and a giraffe. The destruction of the restaurant, he said, was a loss to the community.
"It really is an awful shame to lose this place," Ondish said.
Ondish said the owner, George Markou, had built the establishment from nothing.
"That's a true American success story," Ondish said. "I'm sorry to see him go through this."
Area residents echoed the mayor's sentiments.
On Twitter, @Amolina711 told NJ.com, "This week can't get any worse. Fav. Restaurant burns down and missed the worlds largest clam bake" while @GeorgeCWang said, "Aww man, haven't been there in years! That place had great prices on steak/clams/lobster combos."
Firefighters on the scene said most of the damage centered around the fireplace located in the rear of the building.
About 60 firefighters from Mount Arlington, Budd Lake, Hopatcong, Netcong, Picatinny Arsenal, Randolph, Roxbury and Jefferson responded to the blaze, Norman said.
No injuries were reported and it did not appear at this time that anyone was in the building during the blaze, Norman said.
Norman said firefighters would likely be on the scene a majority of the day putting out hotspots in the ruins of the restaurant.
"It's going to be a long day," Norman said.
Much of the pub burned despite fire departments' attempts to douse the blaze from the roof of the establishment using a ladder truck the Star-Ledger reported earlier Friday.
The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing and the Morris County Prosecutor Office's was on the scene as of 9 a.m. evaluating the remains of the building, he said.
