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.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, Burlington County (WABC) -- New Jersey fire crews shared encouraging news about the wildfire that has burned across over 250 acres in Washington Township, Burlington County.
As of Thursday morning, the blaze is 95% contained. All road restrictions have been lifted.
On Wednesday night, officials had reported that the fire reached about 257 acres in Washington Township.
Firefighters say the blaze is no longer threatening any structures, and no evacuation orders are in effect.
A Red Flag Warning issued Tuesday afternoon by the National Weather Service has been expanded to include the entire state of New Jersey through 8 p.m. Wednesday.
That warning means warm temperatures, very low humidity, and stronger winds have combined to produce an increased risk of wildfires.

"Dry air, a little bit of a gusty wind, these are all criteria the Weather Service has for us to get into a fire watch or fire warning," Meteorologist Sam Champion said.
The New Jersey Forest Fire Service held a briefing Tuesday on the three major wildfires that ripped across parts of the state in the last week.
Crews have responded to 517 wildfires already this year compared to 373 in the same time period last year.

WASHINGTON TWP., New Jersey (WPVI) -- The New Jersey Forest Fire Service is making progress in containing a wildfire in Burlington County.
The flames were spotted around 11:48 a.m. Tuesday off Route 542 and River Road in Washington Township.
Officials said the flames consumed 257 acres and were 95% contained as of 8 p.m. on Wednesday.
All road restrictions have been lifted.
On Tuesday night, families could only stand by and watch as firefighters went to work.
"Very worried. We've lived down here all our lives and you never know," said John Mattern of Washington Township.
He says his family prepared for the worst and packed.
<div><iframe width="476" height="267" src="https://6abc.com/video/embed/?pid=13150237" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
The blaze, which was first detected around 11:48 a.m. Tuesday, is currently 75 acres in size and 0% contained, according to officials.
Mattern wasn't the one uneasy about the flames.
"All of a sudden I come out and I see a big fire over here I said, 'Oh my goodness,'" recalled Zoraida Mejias of Washington Township.
Claire Haviland took Action News towards her property along a fire break that teams had dug out. She says that the decision is saving homes.
"Even when it's happening to you, you don't really think about how it's coming towards you. You kind of wait and see when the time for panic is," she said.
Fire officials fear more fires will break out this month due to the dry conditions.
"We're seeing temperatures in April 85 degrees, 90 degrees. These are conditions you expect to see until July," said Chief Greg McGlaughlin with the New Jersey Forest Fire Service.
"Staff is definitely starting to get fatigued," said John Earlin Jr. of the New Jersey Forest Fire Service. "We've been very busy and conditions remain dry."
Central and Southern New Jersey are under stage three fire restrictions, meaning no fires in wooded areas unless they're in an elevated stove using propane, gas, or electricity.
No wood fires or charcoal ones are permitted in the region.
Residents at Belhaven Lake RV Resort say they're used to keeping an eye on the conditions.
"We would love to have a campfire, but with the restrictions being on there, they post it," said Mike Finnegan, who lives at Belhaven most of the year. "You just go along with it. It's part of camping."
This spring has been much more active than last year.
According to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, so far this year the state has had 518 wildfires with more than 7,800 acres burned.
Around the same time last year, there were only 327 wildfires and 471 acres burned.
Fire officials say the warm winter combined with current conditions is contributing to the flames.
"Less snowfall, that didn't compact the forest fuels, higher temperatures, lower humidity, higher wind, everything is lining up. That's why we're having more wildfires," said Earlin.
Officials are still investigating the cause of the fire.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (CBS) -- A wildfire that broke out in Burlington County Tuesday was 95% contained as of Wednesday night, according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service.
Firefighters were battling the 257-acre wildfire off Route 542 in Washington Township, Burlington County, on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
The wildfire, named the "River Road Wildfire," is 95% contained, according to the NJFFS.
The fire is located in the area off Route 542 and River Road.
The wildfire was first detected by a forest fire service observer in a fire tower around noon Tuesday.
"Due to the strong winds and dry fuels and the fire weather conditions in general, it started to get across our control lines and became a safety hazard for firefighters," John Earlin Jr., an incident commander, said.
Firefighters say they attacked the fire from the ground and air but it continued to rapidly spread.
Crews dunked about 5,000 gallons of water on the blaze.
The fire happened after the National Weather Service issued a red flag warning for New Jersey and Delaware on Tuesday.
The NWS says that a red flag warning "means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly due to a combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and dry fuels. Any fires that develop may quickly get out of control and become difficult to contain."
There were zero mandatory evacuations.
Firefighters are asking residents and campers to be careful and help crews out as they battle through this year's wildfire season.
"Anything they can do to help us prevent a fire is one less fire we have to fight," William Love, an assistant fire warden, said. "We have been combating firefighter fatigue with this rash of fires we have been having throughout the state."
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
Firefighters say they will be out all night. They will be monitoring the fire to look out for flying embers that could spread the fire and falling trees.

As of Wednesday evening, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service achieved 95 percent containment of the fire despite Red Flag fire weather conditions, meaning that critical weather conditions occur due to a combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and dry fuels.
“Our Board wishes to express our sincere thanks to the firefighters from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service and the close to 30 area fire departments and EMS squads who worked most of the day Tuesday, overnight and Wednesday to contain this wildfire," said the Burlington County Commissioners in a statement released Thursday. "Their efforts saved numerous homes and other structures that were threatened by the fire, and they also prevented hundreds more acres of forest from being consumed. Their work is a shining example of the teamwork and professionalism of all our fire services. It also provides a reminder of the dangers posed by wildfires. Most of these blazes are caused by humans through accidents and carelessness. We all have the responsibility to remain vigilant and do our part to prevent these fires from sparking.”
The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and no injuries were reported, according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service.
The following fire departments and agencies sent personnel and/or equipment to assist the New Jersey Fire Service with containing the Washington Township wildfire:
Forest Fire Service staff will remain on scene and continue to monitor control lines and address areas of concern until significant precipitation occurs to ensure public safety. Those traveling in the area of the fire are reminded to use caution while traveling as smoke conditions may exist for several days.

If the Eagles make it to the Super Bowl, South Jersey residents will have two things to root for on Feb. 12.
A Washington Township High School health and physical education teacher, who has a popular BBQ business, appears on the second season of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s “Next Level Chef”, which kicks off on Fox right after the Big Game wraps up.
Teacher Matt Groark, the creator of Groark Boys’ BBQ, has amassed a huge social media platform — 128,000 followers on Instagram, 651,000 followers on YouTube and 3.2 million TikTok followers (@groarkboysbbq) and has amassed more than 50.9 million likes on that platform.
His social media following likely made him hard to overlook for the show, which was filmed in London and will have a regular 8 p.m. Thursday time slot after the first episode.
Groark’s business has grown so much over the last several years that he has an agent, who found the opportunity with Ramsay and encouraged Groark to apply.
SJ chef shares storyMelange Café chef Joe Brown revives memories, recipes of closed restaurants in new book
“When everyone was home with COVID, I decided to strike while the iron was hot,” Groark said in a statement. “My business had already been established, and I started posting my BBQ videos, then food tutorial videos, and my social media just blew up. I started to get BBQ-related deals. Lowes reached out and wanted to send me a grill to cook on. I filmed a video and used #Lowes and they posted it on their website. Other deals came in.”
Ramsay is joined by two other top names in the food world — Nyesha Arrington and Richard Blais. The pair take a separate group of talented chefs under their wings in the competition. Groark competed under Blais.
Groark endured a virtual interview, questions from FOX's production team and even a psychiatric evaluation to see if he would be a good fit for the show.
“Outside of the actual cooking, they asked me about traveling, being away from my family. They wanted to see how I handled stress, whether I had issues with anxiety or depression.”
Groark was invited to be among 22 people (18 made the show) in the all-American cast, a combination of professional, culinary-trained chefs, home cooks, and social media chefs, Groark’s category. He had the largest audience among the social media competitors.
According to a news release, the show is produced by Studio Ramsay Global and FOX Alternative Entertainment, “Next Level Chef is the next evolution in cooking competitions, as Ramsay has designed a one-of-a-kind culinary gauntlet."
The three-story building where the show was filmed has a “stunningly different kitchen” on each floor. From the “glistening top floor to the challenging basement, the ingredients match the environment because Ramsay believes the true test of great chefs is not what they can do in the best of circumstances, but what kind of magic they can create in the worst”, the release stated.
Filming began in mid-August so Groark had to take an unpaid leave of absence from WTHS to participate.
“All of the contestants stayed at the same hotel, and we went from the hotel to the studio and/back,” he explained. “We were not allowed to go out in London, but we could congregate on the roof-top terrace for fresh air and to socialize. I met some incredible people and some amazing chefs.
“Getting to be in the kitchen with Gordon Ramsay was pretty wild. He was so different than how he has appeared in 'Master Chef' or 'Hell’s Kitchen.' The basis of this show was mentorship. I saw a very different side of him. He was awesome.”
While he missed his wife Kristin, and his boys Aidric (8) and Nash (6) and his WTHS seniors, the experience is something Groark will never forget.
“It was just an incredible, unforgettable experience,” said Groark, who cannot share the outcome of the competition. “I was so happy to have had that opportunity, and I encourage everyone to tune in and watch my journey.”
Groark was interviewed by the Courier Post previously in 2018 when he and his family were, sadly, mourning his wife’s miscarriage. His 22 juniors in his second-period health class gifted him and his wife tickets to a Philadelphia 76ers game. Groark is an avid fan.
“What they did was just so heartfelt and kind,” said Groark at the time. He had to step outside the classroom to gather his emotions.
Two days later, Groark shared the news that he and his wife wouldn’t be attending the game alone. The students would be coming, too, courtesy of the Sixers.
