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.
Some common reasons why patients need physical therapy at Denville Medical include:
1.
Sports Injuries Whether you are on the varsity team of your high school football team or a professional athlete, sports injuries are serious business. Our doctors and physical therapists will develop a plan to help you heal properly, so you can get back in the game sooner rather than later.
2.
Pre and Post Operation With decades of combined experience, our physical therapy experts know that there is a time for gentle healing and a time for aggressive physical rehab. Whether you are scheduled for surgery or have recently been released from the hospital, our therapists are here to help you recover, one step at a time.
3.
Neurological Issues At Denville Medical, we treat much more than sports-based injuries. Whether you're suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, or a vestibular problem, our therapists are trained and certified to help you regain your body's optimal functionality.
Life has a habit of throwing us curveballs. Sure, some surprises only hurt your bank account, like expenses around the home. But more serious incidents, like car wrecks, can inflict physical injuries causing long-term pain. Injury-related problems like neck and back pain affect many Americans daily. Even worse, many hardworking people turn to addictive pain medication and invasive surgeries for relief, only to find themselves deeper in a hole.
If you're in chronic pain or suffer from range of motion problems, you should know that options are available for safer, more effective pain relief. One of the most commonly used solutions is physical therapy. The main goal of physical therapy is to maximize your body's mobility and increase overall function. In order to accomplish this, physical therapy techniques focus on improving range of motion and building muscle strength.
Physical therapy helps people of all ages with illnesses, medical conditions, or injuries that limit their mobility and body functionality. At Denville Medical and Sports Rehabilitation Center, our doctors and physical therapists create customized physical therapy programs to help patients reclaim their lives.
When combined with diet and exercise, many patients are able to enjoy activities that they only thought possible with youth.
Some of the most common techniques that physical therapists use to help patients include:
From improper ergonomics at your office desk to injuries sustained in car wrecks, neck pain is a widespread problem. Taking the proper preventative steps to deal with pain provides relief and can prevent the need for surgery or medication.
Generally, there are two kinds of neck pain: chronic and acute. Acute pain shouldn't last for more than six weeks, while chronic pain can last months or even years. Physical therapy is one of the most recommended treatments for neck pain. Treatments often involve reducing neck exercise, strength training, and stretching. If you're suffering from acute or chronic neck pain, it's important to have tests done by a physical therapist to determine the extent of your injury.
Neck pain is caused by a wide range of problems, like:
After identifying the underlying cause of your condition, your physical therapist will develop a comprehensive treatment to address your pain and provide long-term relief.
Back pain is one of the leading causes of disability in America. Back pain can start innocuously as a small muscle ache but can quickly become a more serious problem that disrupts daily life. Like neck pain, the best way to address the issue is to understand the root cause so that surgery is avoided.
Also like neck pain, back pain is either chronic (longer than six weeks) or acute (less than six weeks). Back pain can be caused by a number of events, like lifting a heavy item or simply sitting wrong for too long. To determine the extent of your injuries, you will need one or more diagnostic tests, like X-rays or MRI scans. Once the root cause of your condition is revealed, your physical therapist will work with Denville Medical doctors to create a treatment plan tailored to your body.
Common conditions linked to back pain include:
Experiencing a herniated disc is something most people dread, but many have to endure. Luckily, PT plays a significant role in herniated disc recovery. Physical therapy not only provides immediate pain relief, it teaches patients how to condition their bodies to avoid worse injuries.
At Denville Medical, our physical therapists and doctors have years of experience helping patients rehabilitate from herniated discs. Patients benefit from several time-tested techniques to relieve pain.
After diagnostic testing, active and passive treatments can include:
Do your hips feel uneven or misaligned? Do you suffer from hip stiffness or pain when the weather changes? Are you having trouble getting around the house like you used to? Your hips bear most of your weight, so it's no surprise that hip pain is very common among Americans.
Fortunately, physical therapy has been proven to provide relief for people dealing with acute or chronic hip pain. As with other forms of pain, you will need diagnostic testing to determine the extent of your hip problems.
Some common causes of hip pain include:
Once your hip issues are properly diagnosed, it's time to find relief. Denville Medical & Sports Rehabilitation Center offers several custom solutions, including acupuncture, chiropractic care, and personalized physical therapy.
Like hip pain, knee pain is a common condition in the U.S. and affects millions of people every year. Pain in the knee is caused by many things, including strains, injuries, age, and repetitive trauma. Sometimes, there's no apparent reason for knee pain. When it occurs, you may experience limited knee functionality, like difficulty standing, walking, sitting, and walking up and down stairs.
There are many conditions associated with knee pain, including:
If you notice symptoms like clicking or popping sounds, locking, inflammation, or sharp pains in your knee, physical therapy might be your best bet for relief.
Sometimes, surgery is the only option a patient can choose to alleviate pain from injuries and accidents. When this is the case, physical therapy plays a vital role before and after surgery.
To help you get a better sense of the scope of our physical therapy treatments, we're listing some of the most frequently asked questions that we receive at Denville Medical:
Answer : While some physical therapists 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.
Whether you're dealing with chronic knee pain or acute back pain, relief is in sight. Rather than dangerous medicines and invasive surgeries, we specialize in non-surgical treatments like physical therapy. Our team of physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and primary care doctors have years of experience and work hand-in-hand to give you real pain relief.
If you're sick and tired of living life full of physical pain, now is the time to act. Don't let your body deteriorate – find your new lease on life at Denville Medical and Sports Rehabilitation Center.

It’s harvest season, perfect timing for Lebensfreude LLC, the farmland firm on which Chester Township’s famous Alstede Farms operates, to reap a $15,000 Morris County Small Business Grant.
Morris County Commissioner Deputy Director John Krickus delivered the check to Kurt and Mary Alstede on Wednesday after touring the Alstede Market in Chester Township and visiting the neighboring property housing Lebensfreude LLC, which translates into: “joy of living.” The program, launched with $10 million on Valentines Day, is designed to help small local businesses still being impacted by the pandemic.
Last Chance to Apply for Morris County Small Business Grant!
Program Closes Friday, Sept. 30, 2022
“This grant is very helpful. It’s been over two years since (the pandemic start) and people forget, we were sweating bullets trying to figure out every week what we would do,” said Kurt Alstede, noting farming operations throughout New Jersey were hit with strict operating guidelines by the Department of Agriculture and Department of Environmental Protection.
Farmers had to cooperate for months under restrictions that ranged from requiring farm workers to wear protective masks even while working in the fields, to distancing guidelines that required farmers to find alternative housing arrangements for employees who live on site.
“It certainly must be noted that the Alstede family did everything to keep their people working and retained their staff throughout the height of the pandemic and afterwards,” said Commissioner Krickus as he visited the property.
To date, the Commissioners have approved 677 applications filed by small businesses and nonprofit organizations to receive grants of up to $15,000. The Commissioners dedicated $10 million and designed the grants to assist small businesses and nonprofits with pandemic related expenses incurred after March 3,
2021, including rent and mortgages payments.
The Morris County Small Business Grant Program has been a unique use of federal funds issued to the county through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was designed to offer pandemic-related aid.
Federal guidelines covering the grant program will determine exactly which expenses qualify for coverage and which applications may be approved. The grants are capped at $15,000 per applicant. However, business owners and nonprofits are encouraged to submit applications that include all costs they believe may qualify for the grant, even if the total amount of a single claim exceeds $15,000.
A final review may determine that some costs submitted for consideration are not covered under the program guidelines. However, by submitting all expenses that may qualify, applicants increase the possibility of getting the maximum amount of grant dollars possible.

Storms hit the area Friday and brought the threat of severe weather in the Philadelphia region, including several tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings.
One tornado has been confirmed to have touched down in Pemberton Township, Burlington County, according to the National Weather Service via Twitter.
The tornado began in Southampton Township where a few properties sustained some minor tree damage. A couple trees were uprooted, and tree limbs knocked to the ground, but no injuries have been reported due to damage from the tornado.
Another tornado was confirmed in West Caln Township, Chester County by the National Weather Service.
The tornado has been confirmed as an EF-1.
Multiple tornado warnings were issued late Friday morning, with one issued at 11:33 a.m. for areas around the Main Line in the Pennsylvania suburbs west of Philadelphia.
That tornado warning expired at noon but the threat of severe weather still remained with severe thunderstorm warnings and the potential for wind damage looming throughout the area.
The latest tornado warning was in effect for parts of Burlington and Ocean counties in New Jersey around 1 p.m., but it expired at 1:30 p.m. That line of storms produced "a severe squall line capable of producing both tornadoes and extensive straight line wind damage," the National Weather Service said.
Tracking tornado warnings in Burlington, Ocean counties
NBC10 First Alert weather team is tracking storms across our area including tornado warnings in Burlington and Ocean counties Friday afternoon.
If you are areas under a tornado warning, seek shelter and get away from windows ASAP. If you don't have a basement, hunker down inside an interior bathroom.
Just before 11 a.m., a tornado warning was also issued for parts of Lancaster County, just to the west of Pennsylvania's Chester County. That warning later expired.
Around 11:10 a.m., a tornado warning was issued for parts of Chester and Berks counties, including Honey Brook, Elverson and Morgantown. The warning expired at 11:45 a.m.
Severe thunderstorm warnings were in effect across the area midday Friday. Straight-line winds are a threat from these storms, according to the National Weather Service.
By 1:15 p.m., much of the Jersey Shore was under a severe thunderstorm warning that went for about an hour.
Storms were impacting air traffic at Philadelphia International Airport, and a ground stop is impacting flights as the severe thunderstorms come through.
NBC10's cameras caught the severe weather rolling into the city late in the morning on Friday.
The quick downpours caused a flash flood warning to be issued for southern Bucks County and parts of Philadelphia County. The National Weather Service warned that between 1.5 and 2 inches caused the flood threat. The warning lasts until 5 p.m.
NBC10 issued a First Alert for storms packing the potential for large hail, damaging wind, heavy rain and an isolated tornado that is in effect until to 6 p.m. on June 16 across our area in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
This chart shows you the chances of the different severe weather threats as the day unfolds.
Rain started before 11 a.m. Friday and quickly escalated with thunder and lightning.
Even as the greatest severe weather threat passes, rain and storms are expected to continue into the evening. No matter where you are, be sure to have the NBC10 app downloaded to get severe weather alerts sent directly to your phone.

CHESTER, NJ — Public art is springing up all over Mendham and Chester, with the most recent installation at the Willowwood Arboretum.
The Living Sculpture is an art installation on loan from the Seward Johnson Atelier at the Willowwood Arboretum, located at 300 Longview Road, and will be on display until Nov. 15.
Seward Johnson, an artist and philanthropist, devoted his artistic career to creating sculptures of people going about their daily lives. He hoped that visitors would be delighted to find his lifelike sculptures placed unexpectedly, yet harmoniously, in the landscape.
Johnson's sculpture is not the only one at Willowwood Arboretum. Living sculptures include trees, shrubs, and flowers in the landscape and gardens. "It was Seward Johnson’s desire for his sculptures to delight and stimulate our senses while enhancing nature, the Morris County Park Commission said.
Johnson was born in New Jersey and pursued sculpture after briefly working as a painter. Since then, more than 450 of Johnson's realistic, life-sized, and/or large-scale bronze sculptures have been displayed in public and private settings around the world.
The Willowwood Arboretum is one of New Jersey's most comprehensive and longest-running arboretums. The public park, which is open seven days a week, features 136 acres of farmland and 3,500 varieties of native and exotic plants.
Willowwood also has a historic residence, which inspired the wrought iron gate, Pan's Garden statue, and gardens associated with the estate. Visitors can walk along paths dotted with evergreen, deciduous, field wildflowers, and ferns or relax in chairs scattered throughout the property.
Tickets for the Living Sculpture installation can be purchased here.
In the neighboring community of Mendham, two large stone sculptures were also installed in Pitney Park earlier this month.
"We are excited to take this first step in bringing public art to our community for enjoyment and education. During the installation, a number of residents stopped to take photos and expressed their approval at seeing art at Pitney Park." The Arts Council of the Mendhams President Laurie Pettine said.
According to officials, the art pieces will be on display for one year.
This project was spearheaded by the newly formed Arts Council of the Mendhams, with assistance from the county Morris Arts organization.
