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.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE MARQUEE LIGHTING CELEBRATION
Pastors David & Patricia Silva alongside of the congregation of Centro Biblico of NJ, Inc., Celebrate with the entire community of the of the Town of Dover, the Baker Theater Marquee restoration to its original glory.
During one of the most difficult times in history, in 2020, the Dover area was hit with a damaging storm and high winds, leaving behind severe damage to the wooden structure of the marquee. This caused one of the panels of the existing sign to fall off and caused CBNJ, owners of the theater, to enter into a very long and arduous process of re-constructing the marquee.
The Baker Theater was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 due to its historical significance and importance to the community here in Dover, since 1906. When buildings are placed on national registries, it creates difficulties to proceed with restorations because of specific regulations surrounding historic places. Despite the difficulties encountered during the process, we saw God's favor with us.
For the first time since the early 1920, the town of Dover got its first glimpse of the original marquee. This project was designed and led by the CTS Group Architecture/Planning PA, a company with a vast experience in restoration of historic buildings and design and manufactured by Wagner Electric Sign Company located in Ohio. They have over 40 years of experience replicating historical theater marquees.
In regards to the project's funds, as a church we did not qualify for funding from the government or any other entity. As Pastor Silva says: “We pride ourselves in having rallied together to make this possible without the help of any grants or involvement of any outside entity. None of this would have been possible without the help of God and the members of our congregation.”
After more than 3 years of struggles, efforts, sacrifices, faith, diligence, and perseverance, we are privileged to present to the Town of Dover the new Baker Theater Marquee. The Marquee Lighting Celebration will take place on Friday September 29 at 6:45pm.
We Want to share with the community the exact words Chairman of the Historic Preservation Commission, Paul McDougall gave us: “The installation of the marquee, restores the Baker Theater Building to its prominence and is probably the most significant building in the downtown historic district”
The restoration of the Marquee to its original design shows to the community members of the town of Dover, our sincere interest in preserving the history of the Baker Theatre, recognizing its importance as an iconic building in the city of Dover. This is our gift, as a community of faith, to our beautiful town of Dover.
Sincerely,
Pastor David Silva
Senior Pastor

Dover has a new Third Ward representative after the Board of Alderman picked a former school board member and planning board chairman to fill an open seat. The board also selected a new municipal attorney at last week's meeting.
The board chose Michael Scarneo to fill its vacancy after former Adrian Ballesteros moved to California and resigned his seat on Jan. 8. It also voted to replace its longtime town attorney, choosing a Morristown firm to succeed Dover native Timothy Downs.
Scarneo was one of three names presented to the board by the Dover Democratic Committee to replace Ballesteros. The board considered two other nominees, Hope Summerset and Edward Correa, but deadlocked in 4-4 votes. It then voted 6-2 to appoint Scarneo to finish Ballesteros' term, which expires at the end of the year.
Scarneo, a 42-year resident, is a retired global services manager for Verizon and former 15-year member of the Dover Board of Education. He also chaired the town zoning board for 15 years. His appointment last week required him to resign as chairman of the Dover Planning Board.
"I've been involved in the town for years and years," said Scarneo. "This is the ultimate opportunity to give back, so I'm honored and thrilled."
Correa, who chairs the Dover Democratic Committee, praised Scarneo, who serves as the party's treasurer.
"With his experience and desire to serve the community, he will be an outstanding representative for the people of Dover," Correa said.
At the same meeting, Mayor Carolyn Blackman and a board majority voted to replace longtime municipal attorney Timothy Downs. With the newly seated Scarneo abstaining, the panel instead voted by a 6-2-1 margin to select the Morristown firm of Vogel, Chait, Collins and Schneider as the town's municipal attorney, with Thomas Collins and Thomas Molica as the lead attorneys.
"It's been my pleasure to serve my hometown as municipal attorney," Downs said. "I am disappointed in Mayor Blackman's decision, but I will fully cooperate with the new law firm and work diligently to ensure a smooth transition."
Downs was first appointed by former Mayor James Dodd in 2012.
"We just looked at the attorneys [bidding for the job] and the board decided it wanted a change," Blackman said.
Correa, a former alderman, criticized the decision to remove Downs, saying the new attorneys lack the "experience and institutional memory" Downs has as a lifelong resident with a practice in town.
The Dover Democratic Committee plans to meet in the coming weeks to consider endorsements in an election year that includes the mayor's office and alderman seats in all four wards. No candidates have officially declared as of yet, including Blackman.

In collaboration with Levitate Creative Services and Idea Cultural, Dover, NJ is set to launch the !Vivir, Amar, y Pintar! Arts Festival on Chestnut Street in Dover, NJ, on Saturday, August 26, 2023. The festival, taking place from 12 to 4 p.m., will commemorate the unveiling of a new 5,000 sq. ft asphalt mural and provide a platform for local artisans, vendors, and musicians to showcase their talents.
The event promises a diverse range of artists—from painters to sculptors—appealing to a variety of artistic tastes and styles. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to interact with the artists, gain insight into their creative processes, and even purchase their works.
Alongside the artistry, the outdoor festival will host a gathering of 20 artists and over 17 vendors. The festival will also feature a selection of food trucks, providing food and refreshments to attendees.
Prominent participants include The Kubert School—the nation’s sole graphic arts school dedicated to cartooning and comic book creation, which will engage children in activities. Noteworthy artists, vendors, and entertainment acts, including Bouncy Castles, kids’ art activities, stilt walkers, and live music performances by Tropy Band and Terry Grande, curated by Idea Cultural, will add vibrancy to the festivities, featuring a mix of genres so that everyone finds something they enjoy listening to.
Highlighting the event will be the unveiling of a monumental 5,000 sq. ft asphalt mural on Chestnut Street. The mural, a collaborative effort led by lead artist Mustart and Levitate Creative Services, will transform a plain asphalt surface into a visually striking masterpiece, utilizing the community as the driving force for creative flow. This historic launch of Dover’s first public art was made possible through grants from Morris Arts, and in partnership with the New Jersey State Council.
The festival’s significance extends beyond its artistic appeal. CANVS, an interactive platform specializing in documenting street art and artists, will capture the creation of the mural—facilitating the local community’s engagement with the artwork.
“The !Vivir, Amar, y Pintar! Arts Festival showcases the transformative power of public art and underscores the unity of creativity and community,” said Alex Dougherty, a City Planner for DPD and partner for Levitate. Together, they will complete Morris County’s first-ever asphalt mural, which will be arguably one of New Jersey’s largest.
The festival aligns with initiatives like Vision Zero—aimed at eliminating traffic fatalities and injuries, making roads safer for all. Additionally, Avenues in Motion, a local nonprofit, will assess the impact of the asphalt murals on driver behavior and community dynamics. “City Planning is more than real estate and vertical development. When you plan and design your city with the pedestrian in mind, you’ll win every time,” said Dougherty of the mural.
Generous support from sponsors such as Home Depot, Boost Mobile and others, has enabled the creation of this inspiring atmosphere. The festival promises an exciting day filled with art, music, food, and community, providing an unforgettable experience for attendees.
While the event is free to the public, RSVPs are encouraged to ensure an enjoyable experience for all participants.
