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.

Not even Mother Nature could keep second-seeded Pequannock from winning its first sectional title since 2009 as it defeated top-seeded Pompton Lakes 9-5 in the North Jersey, Section 1, Group 1 finals in Pompton Lakes.
Pequannock (24-5) took a 9-5 lead in the top of the seventh inning before lightning caused the game to be delayed by 39 minutes. Joe Sabbath later shut the door on Pompton Lakes (21-8) to help the Golden Panthers win their sixth straight and seven of their last eight.
“Pompton Lakes is a great team and well coached,” Pequannock head coach Jon McBurney said. “It took a total team effort to beat them.”
After trailing 5-2 at the end of the fourth inning, Ryan Foley came up huge for Pequannock with a bases-clearing double to tie things up in the top of the fifth. Foley also blasted a solo home run in the fourth and had a one-run single in the seventh to finish with a five-RBI day.
“Ryan Foley has a great day at the plate to get the offense going,” McBurney continued. “Joe Sabbath settled things down on the mound to give us a chance to win.”
Pequannock continued its momentum in the seventh inning when it added four more runs to take a four-run advantage.
“It’s a great program win and a great win for the community of Pequannock,” McBurney said. “I’m proud of the effort the team has given this season.”
Sabbath earned the victory by going 5 1/3 innings in relief and allowing three hits, one earned run, one walk, and four strikeouts.
This marked the furthest Pequannock had gone in the sectional tournament since 2017 and its first finals appearance since 2012.
Tyler Benway went 4 2/3 innings for the Cardinals and struck out six while allowing four hits, one earned run, and three walks.

here’s a fun concept behind the name of Defying Gravitea in Pequannock. As Owner Gina Cassese explains, it’s first a play on the word tea. It also illuminates that baking is a science requiring specific measurements and techniques for items to rise and set correctly. Finally, it is a reference to the song “Defying Gravity” from the Broadway show Wicked.
Defying Gravitea is a cafe that offers drinks, breakfast, lunch, and fresh-baked goods. The 1,775-square-foot space seats 49 guests indoors, and features their own proprietary tea line. The interior offers a “warm, comfortable environment,” according to Gina. “From custom river tables, cozy nooks, our Sakura tree, and a hand-painted mural ‘treebute’ to our supporters; it is really a space designed to welcome people in to relax and unwind.”

A quick-serve concept, customers can order their items from the counter or place their orders online in advance. Tables are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. “We offer a warm environment, focusing on friends, family, and community, where everyone can eat without restrictions,” Gina adds.
The Defying Gravitea menu includes farm-fresh fare for breakfast (available all day) and lunch. “We are a gluten- and dairy-free space, but you’d never know it!” Gina says. They also offer baked goods made in-house daily with gluten-free flour. These reinvented recipes are based on five generations of chefs in her family.
Popular items include the breakfast crepe and banana bread ABJ sandwich. Likewise, their scones are a hit, and they introduce two new seasonal flavors each month. Gina loves the Defying Gravitea Chicken Salad Sandwich. It’s made with Goffle Farm chicken breast, coconut yogurt, lemon juice, fresh tarragon, and currants. Patrons can order it either on a gluten-free house-baked brioche bun (made daily) or over greens.
Early response to Defying Gravitea has been huge. “We have had all the seats filled recently and a line out the door,” Gina says. “It’s such an amazing, humbling feeling to see people enjoying the space, their community, and the food.”
Besides their sit-down dining, they offer an event space for large parties by reservation. They also do catering for on-or-off site. Additionally, they accommodate custom orders for all occasions including cakes, cupcakes, pies, and loaves.
After years of struggling with body-image issues, Gina learned she was intolerant to gluten and dairy. (She has been gluten free since 1993). She now tweaks her family’s recipes and treats to create gluten- and dairy-free versions for all to enjoy. The song “Defying Gravity” is about pushing the limits and breaking boundaries, and that really resonates with Gina.

Not long after Karson Culuko was born, he had a stuffed basketball in his crib. He's been attending camps run by his father Kent and uncle Craig Culuko since he was 3, before he could even dribble.
Hoops is part of the family history, something discussed at every gathering.
Karson Culuko added to the scrapbook on Thursday night, scoring his 1,000th career point in Pequannock's 79-62 NJAC-Liberty loss to visiting Morris Catholic. He sank a 3-pointer from the right side off a pass from senior Gavin Fazekas with 2:33 left in the third quarter.
A 6-foot-1 guard, Karson Culuko is the eighth Golden Panthers boy to reach the milestone. But he's the third in his own family.
Grandfather Cliff Culuko scored 1,032 points at Bergenfield High School, graduating in 1965. After a four-year basketball career at Long Island University in Brooklyn, he became a physical education teacher and boys varsity basketball coach back at Bergenfield. After 18 years, he shifted to a volunteer assistant position at Mahwah so he could coach his own sons: Kent and Craig.
Kent Culuko, Karson's father, scored 2,780 points for Mahwah. He is No. 2 in Bergen County, one point behind Les Cason, who played at East Rutherford (now Becton) until 1971. Kent Culuko was with the then-New Jersey Nets for two preseasons, then played overseas for 10 years and even with the Harlem Globetrotters.
"I didn't have any other option. It was just born in me," said Karson Culuko, who grew up shooting from long range, like his 10-year-old brother Jordan does now.
"Ever since my freshman year, that's all I've been thinking about: having my name on that banner with 1,000 points. It means a lot to me and my family."
'Most pressure I've ever had':Pequannock junior Chloe Vasquez reaches basketball milestone
Kent, Craig and Cliff Culuko were all part of Karson's celebration, just like they have been for every other step in his basketball career. Cliff Culuko, 76, drove up from Brigantine Island to stay at his daughter's house in Franklin Lakes to make sure he'd be there for Pequannock's Thursday night game.
Karson was also planning a party for his teammates, who had an internal competition over who would assist the milestone.
"As soon as I saw him on the court, I knew he was a tremendous player," Pequannock coach Jeff DeBell said. "He knows the game, and has a tremendous basketball IQ."
Culuko scored 132 points in his 14-game COVID freshman season and 380 points last winter, leading balanced Pequannock in scoring en route to the Morris County Tournament final. But Cliff Culuko "put a question mark on (his) chest," because his grandson wasn't consistent.
Culuko is averaging 24.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, stepping up into a leadership role alongside Pequannock senior Finn Powers. He scored 33 points on Thursday night, giving him 1,007 in three years.
He is already aiming at Jordan Tabakman's boys' school-record 1,494 points, something he's "been trying to beat in my head for a while." His father scored No. 1,000 early in his junior season and got to 2,000 at a holiday tournament a year later, so it's certainly possible.
"I can shoot. Craig can shoot. Kent was a great shooter," Cliff Culuko said. "Karson's a complete player. He can play inside and outside, shoot and rebound. He can do it all."
JEFFERSON – Amanda Nwankwo still remembers stepping on the court at Jefferson High School against Newton as a freshman, trying to shoot a layup and getting pushed. She tore her anterior cruciate ligament, and missed her entire sophomore season.With Nwankwo back in the lineup last winter, the Falcons reached the NJSIAA Group 2 final.

JEFFERSON – Amanda Nwankwo still remembers stepping on the court at Jefferson High School against Newton as a freshman, trying to shoot a layup and getting pushed. She tore her anterior cruciate ligament, and missed her entire sophomore season.
With Nwankwo back in the lineup last winter, the Falcons reached the NJSIAA Group 2 final. When the 6-foot-3 center hurt her right knee early in Tuesday's NJSIAA North 1, Group 2 final, Nwankwo was very clear.
"It cannot happen again," said Nwankwo, who missed much of the second and third quarters of Jefferson's nail-biter 66-61 victory over Pequannock.
"I could not give up on my team. I pushed my butt off. My team did not give up on me."
With Nwankwo getting treatment on her right knee, Pequannock was able to crank up its inside game. The seventh-seeded Golden Panthers opened the third quarter on a 10-0 run that lasted nearly five minutes.
Pequannock (11-7) was within three points when Jefferson junior Emily Poulas responded. She scored 10 of the top-seeded Falcons' 13 points in the third quarter, stretching the lead back out to eight.
"Amanda went down, and we did what we had to do," said Poulas, who finished with a game-high 23 points.
"I didn't really think about it beforehand. It just sort of happened. ... I don't think any of us are ready for it to end yet."
But the rejuvenated Golden Panthers never backed down again.
They took the lead on senior Nicole Klimek's 3-pointer from the right corner with 50 seconds left. Poulas responded with a three of her own from almost the exact same spot at the other end of the court 16 seconds later.
Jefferson coach James MacDermid called timeout, then Poulas got fouled and made both free throws to build the lead to three points. Pequannock coach Jennifer Baggott called a timeout of her own. But after Klimek missed another 3, the Golden Panthers were forced to foul.
Sophomore Kiley Shatzel sank one, waited out another Pequannock time out, and coolly made the second to start Jefferson's celebration.
Golden Panthers junior Chloe Vasquez scored 22 points. Senior Faith Tucker added half of her 16 points in the fourth quarter. Klimek had 15 for Pequannock.
'Most pressure I've ever had':Pequannock junior reaches basketball milestone
"Our girls felt a little more comfortable in the moment," Baggott said. "We're definitely an outside threat: a driving threat and a 3-point shooting threat. Our weakness is our size, and that's one of their strengths."
The Falcons (22-7) will play Secaucus in a Group 2 semifinal at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Bloomfield High School. Secaucus, the top seed in North 2, Group 2, toppled defending sectional champion Madison.
Jefferson had beaten the Dodgers in last year's Group semi, falling to Manasquan in the final.
Not long after that disappointment, the Falcons started building toward this year's title. They played in a Paterson summer league, then a challenging regular-season schedule including many larger schools like Montville (twice), Morristown and Paterson Eastside.
"We got the competition we needed for games like this," Poulas said, shortly before climbing a ladder to help cut down the net.
"We knew we would need moments like that for moments like this."
