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.

The Mount Olive board of education voted to suspend Superintendent Robert Zywicki on Monday, after he filed legal notice of his intent to sue two school board members for $10.2 million.
Neither side is saying what triggered the conflict, leaving parents in one of Morris County's largest school districts to complain that they were being kept in the dark.
Before a packed crowd that overflowed into the hallway of the district's headquarters, the board agreed to place Zywicki − who was unnamed but identified by his employee number − on paid administrative leave effective Oct. 10 and until further notice. It elevated Assistant Superintendent Sumit Bangia to acting superintendent through Dec. 31 with a monthly stipend of $2,500.
Both measures passed by an 8-0 vote. Board President Anthony Strillacci abstained because he has family members employed in the district.
In response to his expected suspension, Zywicki has filed two tort claims − legal notification of his plans to sue− for $5.13 million each against board members Antoine Gayles and William Robinson. Neither Zywicki nor his attorney, Stephen Edelstein of the Weiner Law Group, responded to requests for comment Tuesdayon the motivation behind the threatened lawsuits.
Several board members said at Monday night's meeting they were unable to comment on personnel matters, a point board attorney Marc Zitomer reiterated in an email to the Daily Record Tuesday morning.
The lack of information has frustrated community members and led to speculation in social media groups about Zywicki, who has led the district of 4,600 students for four years.
Several said Monday that they were caught off-guard by the suspension announcement. One speaker, Debbie McIntosh, said she thought Zywicki was "doing fantastic things" during his tenure at Mount Olive, including his support of special education services and guiding the district through the COVID-19 pandemic.
"If the rumors are (true) that Dr. Zywicki is bad, then I as a parent will support that. If the rumors are true that there have been several people on this board that want him out, that don't like the fact that he stands up for what he thinks is right, then I'll support him," McIntosh said. "Right now, I can't really support anybody because I don't know the truth, nor do most of these people in this room."
Strillacci cautioned the public against believing the accounts posted online. He told meeting attendees that the district is determined to move forward and focus on the students.
"I know there's a lot of frustration out there. There are many rumors flying around, but I want to tell you they are just rumors," he said. "I can assure you we are not skipping a beat on any of your (children's) education, and everything is continuing as usual. I can also assure you that this board would never do anything to the detriment of our school district."
Dan Woelki, another Mount Olive parent, urged the board to expedite the process so details can be released to the public. Right now, he said, the community is caught up in speculation and parents are unsure whether to support Zywicki or the board.
"I don't know, I can't tell you. Either way, it's hurting our community," Woelki said. "Transparency is huge, and that's all it comes down to in the end."
Bangia said the heated debate at Monday's meeting is evidence that the district "needs healing," and she hopes to address the process in her new role as acting superintendent.
"What I will guarantee you (is), as long as I'm in this seat, I will listen to every single group to ensure that the decisions that we make are in the best interest of all students," Bangia said. "That takes collaboration and that takes unity, and that's what I ask for the community tonight."
Zywicki was named superintendent of the Mount Olive district in 2018. He also served on the Sparta Board of Education before resigning last November.

EAST BRUNSWICK — Muslim residents have urged the township Board of Education to add the religion’s major holidays to the school calendar.
In Arabic, Eid literally means a “festival” or “feast.” There are two such major festivities in the Islamic calendar — Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
As of 2023, at least 27 public school districts in the state had Eid recognized on their calendar, according to the New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Monroe Township Public Schools has also added Eid to its calendar this year, bringing the count to at least 28 districts.
Muslim residents and their allies attended the East Brunswick school board meeting on Thursday and encouraged the district to join that growing list.
While the state does recognize Eid among a long list of religious excused absences, supporters have noted that it leaves those select students at a disadvantage.
“For too long, Muslim students have had to choose between attending class and celebrating major holidays. If they chose the latter, they risk missing exams, instruction, and are overwhelmed with make-up work upon their return to school,” according to CAIR-NJ spokeswoman Dina Sayedahmed.
Englewood Cliffs has observed a half day off for this school year and last, according to the CAIR NJ data compiled online.
The majority of districts that have added Eid to their calendars were full days off. Those schools include:
West Windsor and Plainsboro, South Brunswick, Piscataway, Sayreville & Parlin, Edison, Monroe
Montclair, Jersey City, Paramus, Ridgewood, Leonia & Edgewater, Hackensack, Mount Olive, Clifton, Paterson, Wayne, Prospect Park, Pompton Lakes, Teaneck, Elizabeth, Hillside, Linden, Union, Newark, Irvington
Atlantic City, Pleasantville
“Given the growing trend of New Jersey public schools providing long-awaited and much needed accommodations for their Muslim students, we are optimistic that the East Brunswick school board will support their Muslim students and follow suit," Sayedahmed added.
Eid al-Fitr comes at the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan.
Eid al-Adha is the Islamic Feast of Sacrifice that comes at the end of the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca.
The timing of both is dependent on the Islamic lunar calendar, as holidays shift per the moon cycle.
This year, Ramadan falls between March and April.

There's a half-serious joke in the Torres household: Will Pete Torres keep coaching until he has more wins than his wife, Kristen?
They've been a dynamic duo with Randolph girls basketball for 15 seasons. Their dining room table is loaded down with textbooks and binders.
Kristen Torres was the head coach from 2008-09 through 2015-16, keeping the program going even when she was pregnant with the couple's son, Chase. Pete Torres was his wife's assistant. She stepped down when Chase was 2 years old. Pete Torres stepped in, and has been the head coach since then. Kristen is still a volunteer assistant.
Pete Torres earned his 100th victory at the helm, 43-32, at Mendham on Friday night. He was given blue balloons spelling "100," a plaque and a cookie, which the players devoured.
Pete Torres' career record is 100-53, so he's got a little farther to go to catch up with his wife. Kristen Torres, a physical education and health teacher at Randolph for 27 years, stepped away with 124 victories.
"It's satisfying," he said. "I have always had the goal to get to 100. I thought it was a pretty cool goal. … This 100 wins, my name's attached to it. but as any good coach knows, it's not about you. It's about the kids who have come through the program. There's a lot of kids who have been a part of these 100 wins.
Pete Torres recalled when Kristen reached 100 victories in a Morris County Tournament quarterfinal in 2014. It was the first time Randolph had reached the MCT final four in many years, a high point in a turnaround Kristen Torres had orchestrated.
"I'd like to take credit for some of it, but Pete is a student of the game," she said. "He's always looking to learn. He takes a lot of online classes, does a lot of research. He's a film watcher. He loves the game and he studies the game. He's successful because he does put a tremendous amount of time in."
Randolph has had double-digit victories in all but two of the past 14 seasons, one of which was cut down by COVID. Pete Torres introduced conditioning requirements when he took over, enabling the Rams to start tryouts in shape. That helped him fulfill the promise he made to Randolph's now-former athletic director Jeff DiLollo when he was hired: to deliver a sectional or MCT title within four years.
The Rams have two sectional championships: 1990 and 2020.
Pete Torres' next goal is to get to 250 combined wins for the family. He might step down after that, to watch Chase play.
A three-sport athlete at Mount Olive, Pete Torres set the soccer assists record and the baseball hits record, which was later broken by future Major League Baseball draftee Paul Ottavinia. Torres is a member of the Marauders' athletic Hall of Fame. He played second base at Virginia Commonwealth University in the mid-1980s. He coaches 11-year-old Chase's town baseball team, which has also won championships.
A basketball player for 40 years, Pete Torres said the game became his passion while coaching alongside his wife.
"It feels so natural that he should get it," said Mona Ressaissi, a former basketball coach at Mount Olive, Centenary and Hackettstown who served as Pete Torres' assistant for three seasons.
"He's so meticulous. These are not coincidences. The game he lost were part of natural growth for both players and coaches. The games he won, he connected with the kids. … He always wanted the kids to know it was an extended family. He was going to do whatever he could to make sure his family won. He made sure the 100th win was a win for the tribe, a win for the family."
