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 â so much so that more than 58% of Americans are living with it, according to the CDC. Hip problems are usually caused by injuries or osteoarthritis, though normal wear and tear over time is also a contributing factor. If you notice any of these symptoms, an appointment with a chiropractor may be in order:
Since any joint in the body can be misaligned, like your hip joint, working with a chiropractor could be best for long-term relief. Any joint in the body can be out of alignment, including the hip joint, and it can cause severe pain, discomfort, and limited range of motion. Treatments in your personalized plan may include chiropractic adjustments, stretching, and exercise therapy.
Your spine comprises a litany of moving parts that must work together for healthy mobility. Spinal discs are just one of these parts, which act as cushions between your vertebrae. When you have a herniated disc, the bones in your spine grind against each other, causing intense pain. Also called a slipped disc, this back problem is very common and can be caused by wear and tear with age or traumatic events like car accidents. Keep an eye out for the following symptoms of a herniated disc:
After your chiropractor evaluates your spine for overall functionality, they will develop a personalized treatment plan for ongoing care. Common treatments for herniated discs include spinal manipulation techniques like flexion-distraction and therapeutic exercises.
Spinal Decompression Therapy is designed to relieve nerve compression in the spine. This gentle stretch helps relieve pressure and realign the spine in order to reduce those unbearable symptoms. In addition, once the spine is properly aligned, blood flow will increase, reducing swelling and inflammation of the problem area. This then allows the body to be more mobile, or, as a provider will say, increases your range of motion, for easier movement and functionality of the body.
Methods of Spinal Decompression Therapy include:
Keep in mind, Spinal Decompression Therapy is not for everyone. Diagnostic tests, such as an x-ray, MRI or Ct-scan are required for a proper and full examination.
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 NJ adult use cannabis dispensary Sugar Leaves wants to open in Rockaway Borough. But the town awarded multiple resolutions while only allowing two dispensaries.
They were always only planning to allow two NJ adult use cannabis dispensaries to open. Rockaway Boroough likely thought the NJ Cannabis Regulatory Commission (NJ-CRC) would decide who would be allowed to open within their borders.
Sugar Leaves owner Usman Khawaja is a local Pakistani American seeking to open a New Jersey adult use cannabis dispensary in town. He has launched a petition to get the town to allow him to open.
Khawaja is seeking people to advocate that he be allowed to open at the next council meeting this Thursday, September 28th.
“I was the first one to get a license. The town is telling me you’re going to get it,” he said. “I don’t know what they were thinking. They took the money from all 5,6.”
Rockaway Brough Administrator/ Chief Financial Officer Patricia Reiche has running the local cannabis licensing process.
Sugar Leaves recently received their annual license necessary to open approval from the NJ-CRC since they had a location and the necessary town resolution. But with the town cap they cannot get the final paperwork from Rockaway Borough to open.
“Neither are minorities. One is an MSO (Multi-State Operator corporation),” Khawaja noted. “A millionaire came into town and they forgot about minority businesses.”
Rockway already has a dispensary open with the company Kind Kush.
Khawaja has worked for nearly 3 years to open an NJ adult use cannabis dispensary. Initially, the town didn’t allow any.
“I advocated for it, I fought for it,” he explained. “I kept going back and forth with the town.
Sugar Leaves has been paying rent on their location in a coveted Green Zone spot where cannabis companies are allowed for 3 years.
“You know how hard it is to get in the zone? I got fucking blessed,” Khawaja exclaimed. “Now they won’t let me open up. That hurts to my core.”
He noted Sugar Leaves could donate 3 to 5 percent of their earnings to the town as a community giveback.
“I want to work with the town. We’re bringing people from this community. We’re hiring minorities,” Khawaja said.
He has been passionate about cannabis for years. In 2016 a car accident left him badly injured. Initially he tried legal medical pills to treat the pain.
“I developed anxiety. Here’s an anxiety pill. A month later I was on 5 different meds I never needed,” Khawaja noted.
Cannabis helped him heal.
He thought the name Sugar Leaves would stand out.
The original definition of Sugar Leaves is trimmed weed like “I got the sugar leaves.”*
Khawaja launched Sugar Leaves as a clothing brand first.
He has a background in sales and management. Khawaja was previously an assistant manager at cell phone stores. He came to United States when he was 12 when his family moved to Dover in Morris County from Pakistan.
“This is home. That’s why I’m fighting so hard,” Khawaja said.
Rockaway Borough and Dover have a combined school district so the two towns are closely linked he explained.
At 28 he’s a family guy with 2 kids.
“I’m at work every single day. I would love to be home with my kids,” Khawaja noted.
While he was waiting to open an NJ adult use cannabis, Khawaja opened up a CBD store.
“The town loved me for that. I got the mayor to come in for the ribbon cutting when we opened up the CBD store,” Khawaja noted.
A lot of money that went into converting Sugar Leaves to a NJ adult use cannabis dispensary was generated from the store.
He has been selling Delta 8 and legal Delta 9 THC hemp-derived products and CBD.
“We don’t sell weed,” Khawaja declared.
He noted many smoke shops have been doing so.
But the CBD store sales can be hit or miss.
“Most come wanting actual weed,” Khawaja noted. “People don’t want to hear about that Delta stuff.”
“I spent over half a million trying to get a build out. I have money invested,” he noted.
Khawaja said he raised the money from smaller personal loans from friends and family.
“I put too much money into it: I can’t just move to another spot. I don’t have money to move. I’m running on my last fuckin dime,” he lamented.
Khawaja said the construction and conversion of his CBD store to a licensed New Jersey adult use recreational cannabis dispensary is almost complete.
“I’m 80 percent done with my build-out. I could open in less than a month,” he noted. “I don’t need millions of dollars to do it.”
“The State is telling us you need money. But they want you to partner with investors. They’re leeches,” Khawaja exclaimed. “They want… everything from you.”
He is in a Catch-22.
“The investor wants the town to give me my last permit. The town wants me to show investors before they give me the license,” Khawaja lamented. “I don’t know how to move forward.”
“If I could get town approval, then I could be in a better position negotiating,” he noted. “They want me to be desperate to take these deals.”
“We want 50 percent of your company. I know a lot of suppliers. We would be able to get the inventory without paying upfront,” Khawaja recounted investors saying.
He explained investors are uninterested in Social Equity and giving back to the community. They want to take it over and make him a figurehead puppet.
Khawaja is fearful he could lose the company to investors. Some potential investors wanted 60 percent of the company.
He tried to enter the NJ-EDA’s grant program for cannabis companies. But their initial pilot program filled up quickly.
“As a minority, what are we supposed to do? The State isn’t helping. The towns are not helping,” Khawaja said. “Minorities don’t have the money to open up.”
His story is not unique. Khawaja is not the only one telling horror stories about potential licensed New Jersey cannabis business investors.
Khawaja is unhappy that for all the great rhetoric that went into passing New Jersey cannabis legalization, the results seem very different.
“They’re supposed to be helping minorities out,” he declared.
Despite the time and the great difficulty, he has made great progress jumping over the hurdles of the New Jersey cannabis industry.
“It’s not easy. I have a passion for it. That’s the only reason I stuck along,” Khawaja noted.
“This is what I was meant to do with my life. It’s truly what I believe. I gotta just keep moving forward. This is the fight of our lives,” he added. “Either I gotta sue the town, or I gotta sue the State.”

In today's times, keeping children exposed to the arts has become a very important priority to many.
Now one of Rockaway Borough’s most cherished establishments of the arts is in need of help to keep those dreams alive.
The Bell and Barter Theatre at 13 Church St. may soon lose the chance to continue to provide joy to the community and several surrounding areas unless the staff members get the help they need to keep the theatre open.
Steven M. Schweer, who is the technical director, said that the original mortgage note from Alan Rubenstein has become due. Rubenstein purchased the building in 1972.
"It gives the children of the community's around us a safe, creative, fun place to express themselves when the schools are struggling to keep any theatre programs alive," Schweer said.
If the original note of $43,650 is not paid by April 15, enjoyment for hundreds will be gone. Extra expenses are also needed to cover the cost of continued operation.
Children are the reason why the theatre has been an essential part the community. There they learn all facets of the theatre through dance, crafts, writing, building props and creating scenery, assisting with wardrobes, lighting, and sound.
Approximately 15 years ago, Bud Masters, who is now the artistic director of the theatre, took over and had all of the building renovations done to keep the theatre open, thus creating "Theatre Magic" for children.
It took more than five years to complete some of the renovations that included: removing all of the trash from the building into eight 40-yard Dumpsters, completely rebuilding the stage door entrance, removing incorrectly installed seating platforms, and repairing holes in the walls.
Additional renovations included: repairing all the plumbing, installation of new stage lighting, installing new emergency exit stairs, bringing the building up to code and a complete exterior paint job.
The theatre operates on a limited budget and all who shares their time there are volunteers.
As well as children’s workshops, and events held for children during the holidays, several productions also take place during the year.
Some past productions were "La Serva Padrona," "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Cask of Amontillado."

ROCKAWAY, NJ — A brand-new retail marijuana dispensary in Rockaway has officially opened for business, making it the first legal recreational marijuana dispensary in all of Morris County.
Kind Kush staged its grand opening earlier this month on Aug. 19 in the Rockaway Borough shopping center off of Route 46, which is anchored by Tractor Supply Co., after its preliminary soft launch in late July.
The dispensary received final approval from the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission on July 18. "The wait was stressful, but we can finally say that we made it, and like we’ve said before, we’re beyond excited to meet you all in-person," Kind Kush officials said.
According to the dispensary's website, packaged goods include cannabis supplied in natural flower-bud form, pre-rolled joints, edibles, vape cartridges, as well as accessories such as lighters, rolling paper and grinders.
Customers must be at least 21 years old and may purchase no more than one ounce at a time.
Prices on their website range from $55 for 3.5 grams of pure indica, $38.67 for a five-pack of pre-rolls, and $30–$40 for edibles.
The dispensary is open from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Monday through Saturday and from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. on Sundays.
For more information, visit kindkushdispensary.com or email [email protected] or call 973-586-9333.
Although Kind Kush is the county's first recreational dispensary, nearby communities are close behind, with the most anticipated coming to Morristown in the near future.
The business will be housed in a two-story building on Ridgedale Avenue, making it Morristown's first cannabis dispensary. The initial decision and plan presentation occurred last month, but the final approval came on March 23.
Uma Flowers will be located at the former Sam's Automotive Repair location, 102 Ridgedale Avenue.
The land is currently owned by the neighboring Morris Brick and Stone Co., which will lease it to Uma Flowers to run the cannabis business.
The store's debut date was not specified during the plan's presentation, but the dispensary will sell both recreational and medicinal marijuana.
Tejal and Priyanka Patel, the sisters-in-law behind Uma Flowers, told the Morristown planning board that they had worked in public health and medicine before launching the cannabis company around a year ago.
The dispensary will initially be open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and from noon to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
In 2021, New Jersey became the 13th state in the nation to legalize marijuana, joining states like California, Colorado, Maine, Vermont and Massachusetts where marijuana is legal. The move came after a majority of New Jersey voters (more than 70 percent) supported legalizing marijuana, via a change to the state's constitution.
Adults 21 and older have the legal right to consume cannabis in New Jersey. They must smoke in private spaces. However, landlords may prohibit weed consumption on their property.

ROCKAWAY BOROUGH — Years of planning and $2 million later, borough officials are celebrating the completion of the Parks Lake project.
The lake, also known as Fox Pond, is used by residents of Rockaway Borough and Rockway Township, but the renovations were completed only on the borough side, as the municipalities didn't see eye to eye on how to pay for the dredging portion of the project, the removal of sediment and debris from the bottom of the lake
"For the past seven years we've been trying to sock away money for this project," said borough Mayor Tom Mulligan. "At this time, Rockaway Township had other prioritization, so they didn't participate in the dredging of the lake."
Borough officials closed out the project last Friday with an estimated cost of $2 million. Work included replacement of the dam, dredging the Rockaway Borough side of the lake and extending the beach area. The walking path by the dam and the beach was also repaved.
Rockaway Township Mayor Mike Puzio said they expect renovations and improvements on their side of the lake to happen by next year. They are currently drafting up plans with township engineers.
" I had to make some tough choices in terms of what the residents were going to get the most use out of," Puzio said. "We are planning on doing our section [of Park Lake], our gazebo side and improving the landscape."
Residents in the area use Parks Lake for swimming and fishing, and it includes a 0.7-mile walkway around the lake. More than 10 years ago, the state's Department of Environmental Protection informed the municipality that the dam needed to be replaced, Mulligan said.
"So we've had over 10 years of planning, reengineering, property acquisition," Mulligan added. "We were putting money in our budget every year to cover, pretty much, the cost of this project."

The Rockaway Township side of the lake includes a gazebo and needs renovations, according to the DEP. In February 2020, borough officials asked the neighboring township to financially contribute to the dredging. Township officials told them they had other financial priorities, officials said.
"We were hoping to have the opportunity to dredge with them, since we had all the permits in place," Mulligan said.
DEP permits were obtained and they were “a considerable expense” for the borough. The permit to lower the lake's water was valid between Aug. 31 and Sept. 31.
The two municipalities split costs for other shared services, including garbage and snow removal and portable toilet rentals for the lake. Officials from both municipalities have been meeting since 2018 to discuss the project. The renovation portion of the project lasted almost a year. Mulligan said there was a lot of frustration from residents and households along the area who were not able to use it.
"But since we're done, they're all smiles," Mulligan added.
With the Parks Lake project completed, the borough will focus on residential and business construction, including a 72-unit senior housing project on West Main Street.
