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.

RIVERDALE — Wes' Tavern, a run-down dive bar on Hamburg Turnpike known for $6 lunch specials, will be demolished and replaced with a strip mall with a new restaurant/bar.
Planning Board officials approved the mixed use building for 57 Hamburg Turnpike in the spring, and work on the project is expected to begin in March. The developer will be submitting blueprints for the borough to review in about 35 days.
The footprint of the new building is about four times the size Wes' Tavern. It's a two-story building with 3,500 square feet for the bar/restaurant space on the first floor. There are another 4,275 square feet of retail space available for lease. The building will house eight one-bedroom apartments on the second floor. There is also a basement for a total building square footage of 23,625 square feet.
The 1.16 acre property Wes' Tavern currently occupies between Drace Place and Mead Avenue will also be improved.
Take a look inside:Bamberger mansion in West Orange up for sale
Officials welcomed the building and property upgrade with unanimous approval. Marketing of the new retail spaces has begun. Final transfer of the property is contingent upon final building approvals, explained the developer.
The new building will be noticeably different from the "horrible" one there now, said one planning board member. The roofs of the existing white building are sagging and black dirt clings to it. A railing outside appears broken and pieces of siding and trim are broken.
"The property is clearly out of date and in need of a face-lift, if you will," said John Palus, the project's engineer.
Along with the obvious aesthetic building improvement, if the developer moves forward there will be significant landscaping and drainage improvements around the property. A total of 151 plantings are planned and the building will be pushed back off Hamburg Turnpike. It will also get a small outdoor patio with a accessible ramp alongside it.
In an effort to improve the awkward layout of the property, the developer is reducing the entrance from two driveways to one. The site will get new asphalt and an underground infiltration system will be installed to capture rain run-off.
"We think it will be an outstanding-looking building," said Doug Bern, the applicant's attorney.
Scott Berkowitz, one of the principals for the development, said the idea to overhaul the site came out of conversations he had in the borough's building department. Berkowitz founded a metal fabrication company called EVS Metal. It was originally located in Pompton Plains and was relocated to Kenner Court in the borough. Joesph Young, the owner of Cornerstone Chiropractic in Riverdale, is also a partner.
"We love Riverdale and we don't need to make a lot of money on this," he said.
Berkowitz said he sees this as a fun opportunity to upgrade the site, create a town center, and give back to the community.
"It’s just the right thing to do," he told the NorthJersey.com and USA TODAY NETWORK New Jersey. "Give people a place to go. Clean up that mess. Start the new sidewalk. Put a patio out there. You gotta do the right thing at times and if you have a couple bucks you know, why not."
Berkowitz is excited to get the project moving but said it's a slow process and there are a lot of steps even after Planning Board review. He expects the plans to be finalized by the end of the year but construction will have to wait until after the winter.
At first the restaurant and bar will reemerge as Wes' Tavern and at some point it will become Scotty's Oyster Bar — a concept Berkowitz said he came up with.
He envisions a family restaurant that sells seafood and bar food but isn't high end or "snooty." He's seeking someone to partner with to lease the space and run the restaurant. The restaurant will be completely built out with a kitchen and ready to go, he said.
Berkowitz said he prefers to give a chance to someone new with a dream, instead of a restaurateur who already owns multiple businesses.
"We’re going to make it a turnkey solution for anybody who wants to walk in and give their heart and soul to something," Berkowitz said.
"It’s going to be a place where you can bring your family, your friends and hang out and have reasonably priced food and good times and make some memories," he said.
All of the retail and restaurant space on the first floor of the new building is being advertised for lease by the The Goldstein Group.
Story continues below gallery
The approved plans for the building call for a colonial feel with brick, masonry and siding. Awnings and signs will define the commercial components of the building, according to the plans.
An elevator is included in the plan to access the apartments. The apartments will be about 750 square feet in size. There are 76 parking spaces.
Berkowitz said the property is too narrow and deep to have it front facing on Hamburg Turnpike. The bar/restaurant side of the building will be the most visible part from the road, but the rest of the building will have enough of a presence to be seen from the road.
During the Planning Board hearings neighbors raised concerns about rodents outside and asked how the dumpsters will be handled. Others asked about water run-off and about car headlights shining onto their yards. The developer agreed to put in fencing to act as a screen from car lights.
The site is located in Riverdale's Community Redevelopment District Zone in downtown Riverdale.
The Planning Board also recently approved a mixed use retail and residential building for 4 Hamburg Turnpike down the street.

UPDATE: The $533 million Mega Millions winner has been revealed.
RIVERDALE — The winner of the $533 million New Jersey Mega Million jackpot came forward after 14 days. The world will learn who the newest millionaire is at a news conference at 11 a.m. Friday.
New Jersey Lottery told The Record and NorthJersey.com one person won all that money. About half is expected to go to federal and state taxes, leaving the winner a cool $175 million if he or she decides to go with the cash option, according to Daniel Mahler, a certified public accountant with Gisler & Mahler in Bloomingdale.
The winning ticket was sold at a Lukoil mini-mart on Route 23 in Riverdale on March 30. The owner, Ameer Krass, said he reviewed surveillance and was able to determine it was purchased by "one of our regulars."
He kept the person's identity a secret and encouraged anyone else who might know the person to do the same. Two days after New Jersey Lottery officials announced that someone had won the $521 million prize (since upped to $533 million), Krass was presented with a $30,000 check for selling the ticket. He said he plans to award bonuses to his 10 employees and donate some of the money to help build his church.
It's the fourth largest win in the game's history and the second highest for a single ticket.
The average time for the biggest winners to claim their jackpot is about 12 days, according to an analysis by The Record and Northjersey.com.
It's not unusual for winners to wait this long, and "sometimes it can be longer," said New Jersey Lottery Spokeswoman Yvette Varner.
"They are probably getting everything in order," she said before the winner came forward.
Mahler said the winner should practice saying no to requests he will most likely get and should also get professional financial help.
“These numbers are staggering,” Mahler said, adding that some people simply can't handle that type of money.
Mahler, who is also mayor of Wanaque, said his law firm represented a $38 million lottery winner in the 1980s.
“This guy has to watch himself," he said of New Jersey's big winner. "Everybody’s going to come after him. Everybody looks for a handout."
The news conference will be held at Lottery headquarters in Trenton by John M. White, New Jersey Lottery acting executive director. Elizabeth Maher Muoio, acting state treasurer, will also be there. Lottery officials would not reveal anything further today.

TRI-BORO, NJ -- Want to try a more variety of food, or find a new place to have the favorite meal? Yelp has helped those curious find the best places for food, including Riverdale. Here are Yelps top 10 restaurants in Riverdale along with reviewers are saying about them.
1. Coney Island Pizza
40 Hamburg Tpke Riverdale, NJ 07457
Phone number: (973) 476-9223
What they are saying: BYOB. Started off with two good different salads. They brought out a complimentary big hot pretzel which was delicious! Interesting selections of pie, of which we split a Popeye pizza (spinach, ricotta and bruschetta) to save room for dessert. Finished off the meal with a Nutella banana pie, which had the perfect amount of crunch and was delicious. Brought home quite a bit of leftovers. Very friendly staff, our waiter Keshav, was attentive, courteous and friendly. We'll be back!
2. Boniello's
72 Hamburg Tpke Riverdale, NJ 07457
Phone number: (973) 831-0222
What they are saying: We came here last night and had a delicious meal. We ordered the mussels, a personal Fra Diavolo pizza with pepperoni added, and a Chicken Boniello dinner over angel hair with 2 side salads added. Everything was great. The mussels tasted pretty fishy, but the sauce was so good that it made up for it. The pizza was cooked perfectly. I loved the crust and was so glad we had the mussels sauce to dip it in. (They also gave us bread, but that was nothing to write home about.) The side salads were really nice too. For $4 it was definitely worth it. The Chicken Boniello was great too. I don't usually order chicken dishes when I'm out, but the girl at the table next to us got it and it looked so good we had to try it. It was chicken in a pink sauce with mushrooms over angel hair, and we loved it. Good service, BYOB, can't really go wrong here. I can't wait to go back!
3. Blu Alehouse
92 Rt 23 N Riverdale, NJ 07457
Phone number: (973) 831-4258
What they are saying: I like this place. It definitely has that "large sports bar feel" but with a more contemporary feel. It's clean, it's open, and the service is always super friendly. I do have to say, service being that friendly on the regular is huge for me in places like these. They still make you feel like you're important even though they have a packed house with hundreds of people. I've been here a few times now, on a raging Saturday, a 'country' popping Thursday and a football Sunday. I think that allows me to believe I've covered my ground. Overall they are consistent, they get drinks out pretty quick, the food is good for bar food. I enjoy this place more than any other sports bar in the area. The crowd is also always enjoying themselves. I like coming here and don't mind driving the few minutes extra than the other sports bar near me. Nice job Blu!
4. Brookside Bistro
26 Hamburg Tpke Riverdale, NJ 07457
Phone number: (973) 616-0606
What they are saying: This bistro is a gem! We were here on a Sunday and did the small plates menu with wine pairing. I cannot say enough about the delicious 5 course plates and accompanying wine. We will be back as often as possible! Service was exceptional! Thank you, Wendy and chef-husband for a great meal (and experience).
5. Precious Chinese Cuisine
72 Paterson Hamburg Tpke Riverdale, NJ 07457
Phone number: (973) 616-0166
What they are saying: My friend lives in Riverdale so when we order Chinese we always order from here. This was the first time I actually called them and ordered pick up strictly for myself. The woman was so nice!! Food is always really good! Will definitely return!!!
6. Flamming Grill & Supreme Buffet
92 Rt 23 N Riverdale, NJ 07457
Phone number: (862) 377-0598
What they are saying: Great buffet with plenty of options to satisfy the pickiest of eaters. Flaming grill has literally every buffet type option I've experienced at other buffets in my day but tops them all in my opinion with their hibachi station.All the food is hot and fresh and constantly being refreshed. I sampled a little bit of everything including their delicious hibachi bar and self serve ice cream with about 8 different options. The hibachi station allows you to customize your dish to your liking and has plenty of options from beef to chicken to shrimp. I wish I took a picture of station because its pretty impressive. They have a huge selection of desserts which is always nice to finish off your meal.The waitresses here are really nice and very quick with cleaning up your table so you aren't left with a million empty dirty plates taking up valuable room. The prices are reasonable especially for what they offer here. I will definitely be back!
7. Italian Table Trattoria/Pizza
92 Rt 23 N Riverdale, NJ 07457
Phone number: (973) 248-9900
What they are saying: Best Italian food so far in our area. Their spiedini and spaghetti and meatballs meal are amazing! They also have prompt and polite service, too! Also, their prices are comparable to the other Italian restaurants in the area.
8. Chili's
58 Rte 23 N Riverdale, NJ 07457
Phone number: (973) 616-0382
What they are saying: My usual spot I come for lunch. Super convenient with the new tablet system that allows fast service. I like that they have a rewards membership that you can sign up and ear points towards free items. I usually get the lunch specials and pick the house salad and the chicken bacon ranch quesadillas with fries that are really good and at a good price. Everything comes out super quick and is really fresh. I love their chips and salsa as well as their guacamole as well. Being able to pay on the tablet eliminates having to chase down the waitress for your check and makes leaving to get back to work on time a much easier obstacle.
9. Black Bull Steakhouse & Seafood
88 Newark Pompton Tpke Riverdale, NJ 07457
Phone number: (973) 831-2825
What they are saying: We will be back. Not only was the meat eater of the family happy the vegetarian was pleasantly surprised !!!! I'm so happy we found a place that we both could enjoy.
10. Riverdale Luncheonette
45 Hamburg Tpke Riverdale, NJ 07457
Phone number: (973) 831-0836
What they are saying: I have a serious predisposition to love places like this. It's the sort of old-school lunch counter that's become increasingly rare these days. At the Riverdale Luncheonette, expect to find a great price on a simple meal served with a smile. I sat at the counter and ordered one of the specials, a grilled chicken sandwich that came with macaroni salad. It was served fresh off the griddle on a fresh crusty half sub. The macaroni salad was of the vinegar variety, sprinkled generously with pepper. Service was super friendly and the decor was simple and clean. This will definitely be one of my go-to lunch spots in the area, they have a good variety of food and it's not all fried garbage so I can feel mildly healthy. Breakfast and lunch only, and I'm pretty sure it's cash only. A great neighborhood place!

RIVERDALE, NJ — Two weeks after a single ticket won the $533 million Mega Millions jackpot, the winner's identity has been revealed: Richard Wahl from Vernon, New Jersey. The Wahl family has opted for the cash option, meaning they will take home $175 million after taxes.
The winning ticket was sold at the Lukoil South gas station on Route 23 in Riverdale on March 30. Although the owner said last week that Wahl was a regular customer, Wahl disputed that characterization, saying, "I've been in there maybe four or five times."
Wahl, 47, who is originally from Michigan, played the lottery after chatting with a coworker about retirement. It was only the second time he had ever played Mega Millions, he said.
"Baby, we get to go on vacation," Wahl said, recounting how he told his wife they won the jackpot, tearing up as he spoke. He declined to say where they were headed, but that they were flying out tonight.
"We believe God has a plan, so for us the plan is to do a lot of good things with it," Wahl said, saying he wants to use the money to change the lives of his family, friends, and those in need.
Wahl said the family would not "go out and party it up," and would rely on financial advisors to make the most of their winnings. He declined to speak further about how specifically he would use the money for his family, but did say he looks forward to helping his retired mother and has always dreamed of rebuilding a 1960s Corvette.
He said the family is looking forward to contributing to communities in Mexico, where his wife is from.
A manager at AAK Foodservice, Wahl said he's helping the company find a replacement before retiring.
The winning numbers were 11, 28, 31, 46 and 59, and the gold Mega Ball was 1. Wahl said he used easy pick numbers when he bought the ticket, calling it proof that it was "God's plan."
It’s not unusual for winners of particularly large jackpots to wait several days, if not weeks, before stepping forward. Winners usually consult legal and financial professionals before claiming their life-changing winnings.
Wahl took home the 4th largest Mega Millions lottery jackpot in history, and the largest in New Jersey history.
