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 COuNTY – Where can a family play pickleball, dodgeball, and take a boot camp class, all in one week, and all for free? Why the Y of course! Lakeland Hills Family YMCA invites the community to its annual Welcoming Week, this year bigger and better than ever! Conveniently located where the Mountain Lakes, Parsippany, and Boonton borders meet at 100 Fanny Road in Mountain Lakes, the area’s leading community organization is offering a free week of fun events, all in one place, from September 13-18.
Communities are stronger and more cohesive when people from all backgrounds have the opportunity to get to know one another and work side by side to advance the common good. Welcoming Week brings YMCAs and other nonprofit organizations across the country together to help elevate the growing movement of communities that fully embrace all Americans and their contribution to the social fabric of the U.S.

Additionally, the Lounge offers comfortable seating for meetings, work from your laptop with self-charging areas, a teen space, and more.

Spending by NJ school districts significantly varies and depends on several factors. Here's where Parsippany schools stand.PARSIPPANY, NJ — School districts in New Jersey budgeted an average of $18,208 per student last school year.

PARSIPPANY, NJ — School districts in New Jersey budgeted an average of $18,208 per student last school year. The Parsippany-Troy Hills Township School District budgeted slightly more, according to data from the New Jersey Department of Education.
The figures come from the state's 2022 Taxpayers' Guide to Education, which shows the amounts that districts and schools have spent and budgeted per student. The guide also features information on what districts have spent or budgeted in specific categories, such as supplies, salaries and benefits, lunch programs, and support services.
Patch organized the data by type of district/school and ranked them by how much they budgeted per pupil in the 2021-22 school year. Read more: NJ Schools Spend $18K Per Student On Average: How Much Your Kid Gets
Per-student spending in U.S. public schools depends on a range of factors, including property values, tax revenues, financial constraints and political conditions. So a higher dollar figure doesn't necessarily indicate that a school district spends too much or values its students more, and a low amount doesn't automatically imply stinginess or efficiency.
The figures primarily serve as a way to help the public understand educational spending in their community and the state.
"This guide can be a helpful first step in discussions that residents have with their local school officials about school-spending needs," said Dr. Angelica Allen-McMillan, the state's acting education commissioner.
The taxpayer's guide separates school districts into 11 different operating categories based on enrollment size, grades served and other classifications. Parsippany is in a group of 92 districts that serve grades K-12 and has more than 3,500 students.
Parsippany's budgeting of $18,712 per student last school year ranked 30th in the group. Teaneck Public Schools topped the category at $26,096 per pupil, while Edison Township Public Schools budgeted the least — $13,401 per student.
The stage average for K-12 schools was $17,959 per pupil, with a median of $17,883 per child. For all schools under the state education department's jurisdiction, the average budgetary cost per student totaled $18,208 — an increase of $1,385 (8.2 percent) increase from the 2020-21 school year. The state median for per-student budgeting in the 2021-22 school year was $18,326, which was $1,559 (9.3 percent) more than the prior school year.

PARSIPPANY, NJ — The deadlock continues in contract negotiations between the Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education and the educator's union.
The Parsippany Troy-Hills Education Association (PTHEA) broke its silence Jan. 20 about its struggles to negotiate a new contract with the school board as they continue working under a contract agreement that expired last summer. The board spoke publicly about the situation Friday, saying it has negotiated in good faith.
The board also claimed union leadership engaged in behaviors that weren't "supportive of students or parents" by exerting "constant pressure" on school officials to remain fully remote last school year. Read the board's full statement here.
"Even earlier this month, the PTHEA Leadership requested that the district send students home at lunch and run an early dismissal schedule for an indeterminate period," the board said in a two-page statement. "None of this behavior is supportive of students or parents and fails to recognize what all health officials and educators have indicated, children need to be in school.”
PTHEA President Joseph Kyle responded that the board's statement resorted to "outright distortions and exaggerations."
The board's negotiations team met with the union and a state-appointed mediator for the second time Jan. 24. But they didn't come to an agreement on contract negotiations, according to the board.
The school board proposed salary increases of 3 percent for the 2020-21 school year, 3.1 percent for 2021-22 and 3.1 percent for the 2022-23 school year. But the PTHEA countered with a proposal of a 3.56 percent increase for each of the three school years, according to the board.
"The district is required to adhere to a 2% tax levy increase which funds all of our educational programming," the board's statement said. "The BOE should not have to find itself in a position where cuts to staffing and programs are the only option - this is not good for students or staff."
But staffing shortages have impacted schools across New Jersey and the nation, union leadership said in a Jan. 20 letter to the editor.
"If we are going to continue to have the best public schools in the nation, we must offer competitive salaries and benefits to attract and retain the best educators," union leadership wrote.
Parsippany's school board listed several examples in which "teachers have received both respect and consideration for the job they do," including the following:
But Kyle remained unmoved by the statement.
"Although one side sometimes resorts to outright distortions and exaggerations in some struggles in the business world, it is very disturbing to see the Parsippany Board of Education take such a step," the union president told Patch via email. "Since our profession is the education of children, we must lead first by example, and the Board's message teaches our students all the wrong lessons about ethical and good faith bargaining."

The following is a letter to the editor submitted by the Parsippany Troy-Hills Education Association's executive board, on behalf of its members. Sitting officials and representatives of public-sector unions may submit letters to the editor to [email protected] Members of the public can submit a letter to the editor by publishing here.
An open letter to the Parsippany-Troy Hills community:
After much deliberation, the members of the Parsippany Troy-Hills Education Association (PTHEA) have decided to break their silence on the status of negotiations with the Parsippany Troy-Hills Board of Education. The PTHEA has been working under an expired agreement since July 2021. For months, we chose to refrain from any public statements, as well as to exercise our right to pressure the Board and engage in any job actions, in the hopes that we could bargain amicably and successfully. PTHEA members understand the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we felt that all energies would be best served by strengthening the labor-management relationship as we returned to in-person instruction. We believe it takes all stakeholders to ensure a positive, successful educational experience for our students.
The PTHEA held out hope that the Board believed this, too. In an effort to have contract talks be one less stressor for all, the PTHEA in late 2020 offered the Board a full year of labor peace — with no contract demands or changes — and a salary adjustment at the current county average. While there were certainly contractual items we also wanted to address, PTHEA members were dedicated to maintaining a positive relationship, so we may all concentrate on doing the job we loved as we navigated the “new normal.” Unfortunately, the Board didn’t feel the same way: They delayed the first meeting by nearly three months beyond what is normal, rejected our one-year offer and introduced a slate of contractual demands that go far and above what any of us have seen in decades.
To say we were disappointed is an understatement. For the last 18 months, we have done everything possible to maintain the quality educational experience our community has come to expect. However, we must insist that Board recognize our role in doing so. Across the state and throughout the nation, there is an educator shortage, which has only been compounded by the ongoing pandemic. If we are going to continue to have the best public schools in the nation, we must offer competitive salaries and benefits to attract and retain the best educators. This profession is rife with challenges and — once this pandemic is finally behind us — there are going to be additional obstacles ahead, and it will take the hard work of public school educators to maintain stability for all. Instead of publicly praising us while privately scoffing at our attempts to secure a contract which actually acknowledges our value to this school district, it’s time for the Parsippany Troy-Hills Board to come to the table with reasonable proposals. No more delays; no more games—we want their actions to finally support their words.
Until this is resolved, please be assured that all PTHEA members are committed to providing Parsippany Troy Hills’s students with nothing less than our best. In fact, we go above and beyond our contractual responsibilities for the students and school community every single day. However, we are equally as committed to standing up and demanding a fair and equitable settlement, and we hope you join us in that effort and call on the Board to offer one. Together, we can keep Parsippany Troy-Hills a place of pride for all.
Respectfully,
The Executive Board of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Education Association, on behalf of its members
The Parsippany-Troy Hills School District will replace 10 buses from its fleet with low-emission vehicles.PARSIPPANY, NJ — Parsippany's fleet of school buses is going a little greener.

PARSIPPANY, NJ — Parsippany's fleet of school buses is going a little greener. The Parsippany-Troy Hills School District will receive federal funding for 10 low-emission buses to replace old diesel vehicles.
The Environmental Protection Agency allocated $10 million in rebates this year for school districts to replace diesel school buses with new electric, diesel, gas, propane or compressed-natural-gas vehicles that meet emissions standards. This year's rebates include $200,000 for Parsippany schools to get 10 new buses.
The EPA's funding for the endeavor comes from the 2021 Diesel Emissions Reduction Act. The agency set a tentative timeline for school districts and bus contractors to order the vehicles by the end of May, with delivery by the end of October.
Parsippany schools will receive newer, environmentally cleaner buses powered by certified 2017-or-newer model year diesel engines. The vehicles fall under the category of "clean school buses," reducing emissions.
The EPA also rewarded 11 school districts with a combined $7 million for new, zero-emission electric school buses. The funds come from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 — a federal coronavirus-relief package signed into law last year.
The Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act — often called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, signed into law last November — will also give the EPA $5 billion over five years to replace school buses with cleaner models.
“I am proud to have supported the American Rescue Plan and the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act, which are helping New Jersey schools replace old diesel buses with low or zero-emission buses, starting with Parsippany here in my district,” said Rep. Mikie Sherrill. “This is a great step in our effort to fight climate change, transition to green infrastructure, and protect the health of our children.
Schools buses travel billions of miles per year, transporting 25 million American children to and from school each day, according to the EPA. The diesel exhaust from buses also negatively impacts health, especially for children who breathe more quickly than adults and don't have fully developed lungs, the EPA said.
While new buses must meet the agency's tougher emission standards, many older vehicles continue to emit significant diesel exhaust.
Transportation accounted for 29 percent of U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions in 2019 — just ahead of electricity (25 percent) and industry (23 percent) — according to the EPA.
