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.

HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. (August 10, 2022) – It took 19 holes in the final match, and close to 90 on the week, but the wait was well worth it for Arjun Caprihan of Warren, N.J. as he captured the 54th MGA/MetLife Boys Championship at historic Saint Andrew’s Golf Club. Caprihan took down the top-seed in the bracket, Liam Pasternak of Morristown, N.J., in extra holes.

HASTINGS-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. (August 10, 2022) – It took 19 holes in the final match, and close to 90 on the week, but the wait was well worth it for Arjun Caprihan of Warren, N.J. as he captured the 54th MGA/MetLife Boys Championship at historic Saint Andrew’s Golf Club. Caprihan took down the top-seed in the bracket, Liam Pasternak of Morristown, N.J., in extra holes. His birdie on the par-four first hole at Saint Andrew's sealed the win.
"I wanted to close it out on that hole," said Caprihan. "It was a great feeling and nice to win on a birdie."
After needing 18 holes in his morning semifinal against Holden Schipper of Lebanon, N.Y., Caprihan had a quick turnaround to face Pasternak who beat Philip Connolly of Garden City, N.Y., 3&2 in the morning. The two golfers traded blows during the first nine, with each winning three holes while the other three holes were halved.
Much of the same continued on the back nine. Pasternak won the 12th, Caprihan the 13th, Pasternak the 15th and Caprihan the 16th. On the par-five 17th, Pasternak was just over the green in two, but opened the door when he sent a chip back to the front of the green. Caprihan would win the hole with par and head to the 18th hole 1-up.
Both golfers hit perfect drives and Pasternak went first. He stuffed his approach to a foot, which would ultimately result in a conceded birdied. Caprihan hit it close as well and just missed an eight-footer to win. Pasternak, who finished runner-up in the 53rd MGA/MetLife Boys Championship at Gardiner's Bay, also forced extra holes in his quarterfinal match by hitting his approach to a foot on the 18th green.
After two great drives on the 19th hole, Caprihan put the pressure on with his approach landing inside 10-feet. Pasternak gave himself a look from about 30-feet, but couldn't get his putt to drop. With a similar length putt to the one he had on the 18th for the win, Caprihan delivered.
"It's a nice win," said Caprihan. "I know the tournament has been around a long time and to be one of the champions is a great feeling."
Neither Pasternak or Capirhan, who grew up playing soccer together, took more than a 1-up lead throughout the duration of the match. Caprihan, who was the seven-seed to start match play, won his final two matches 1-up, going the distance in both.

PARAMUS, N.J. — Sometimes things work out perfectly.
Ben Carr defeated Alex Price, the 1,212th-ranked amateur in the world, to advance to the U.S. Amateur Championship semifinals with former PGA Tour player Will Wilcox on his bag.
Wilcox hasn't made a Tour start since 2017. Earlier this year, the 36-year-old opened up about his struggles with drug abuse. He played the Korn Ferry Tour's BMW Charity Pro-Am in June but missed the cut. However, Wilcox told GolfChannel.com Friday that he isn't planning a comeback campaign. After 30 years of competition, he's planning on doing "other golf stuff" and running a water mitigation business with his friend in Atlanta.
So how did Carr, a fifth-year at Georgia Southern University, and Wilcox link up this week?
Wilcox "randomly" moved from Jupiter, Florida, to Columbus, Georgia, in 2018. They're both members of the Country Club of Columbus and started playing golf together frequently during the pandemic.
Carr's younger brother started his sophomore year at the University of Georgia this week. Knowing his brother would be unavailable to loop for him this week, Carr, who's No. 70 in the World Amateur Golf Rankings, posted on Instagram about a month ago that he needed a caddie at Ridgewood Country Club.
Carr received a bunch of responses but nothing "felt really right." Then, Wilcox messaged Carr that he was already going to be in the New York area this week to see Rage Against the Machine at Madison Square Garden.
"I just figured it was too good to pass up, and it was," Carr told GolfChannel.com after his quarterfinal match.
It has, indeed, turned out to be a perfect match.
"(Wilcox has) helped me a ton," Carr said. "Anything that goes with being a good caddie, he's got it. He keeps me grounded. He's a great green reader, good with numbers, good decision-maker."
Those skills were crucial toward the end of the match. Carr was 4 up through 11 holes, but Price made a push late, cutting the lead to 1 up through 16.
"We just had such a big lead and then [Carr] got a little bit down," Wilcox said, "and then I was like, 'Bro, after 15 holes you have a 2 up lead, we would have taken that at the start of the day.' So, you just got to stay in the moment. If you're leading, you can't get down, and he was trying to get down, and I was like, 'Dude, you're leading in the quarters, let's go.'"
Carr and Wilcox closed out the victory on the 17th hole and will face Derek Hitchner Saturday in the semifinals. They hope to ride their chemistry for another two days and leave the Garden State with the Havemeyer Trophy.
"We just had so much fun out there," Carr said. "Two guys from Alabama and Georgia, just up here in New Jersey, almost like a foreign country, just having a good time on the golf course."
