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 â find your new lease on life at Denville Medical and Sports Rehabilitation Center.

KENILWORTH, NJ - The December issue of Harding Elementary School's newspaper Let's HAWK About It! was recently published. Students Arya Shah and Arjun Shah wrote the following article about the Superintendent of Kenilworth Public Schools, Kyle C. Arlington.
Interview with Mr. Arlington
As the leader of the local school district, Superintendent Mr. Arlington's primary responsibility is to ensure that students receive the best education possible. Mr. Arlington's vision for education is to create safe and engaging environments where students can reach their full potential.

In a recent interview, Mr. Arlington shared that his job involves setting the vision for what school should be like for kids, ensuring that schools meet students' social, emotional, and academic needs, and supporting teachers and administrators in decision-making and problem-solving.
"I've always wanted school to be a certain way for students," Mr. Arlington said. "I wanted to see if, by serving as a superintendent, I could help make my vision for the school a reality."
Despite the rewarding nature of his job, Mr. Arlington acknowledges that it is not without its challenges. Making difficult decisions and having difficult conversations can be tough, but Arlington relies on his values and beliefs to guide him through these situations.
"Even if I know the decision won't be popular, I make it anyway if it reflects who I am and what I believe in," Mr. Arlington said.
Balancing work and family life can also be a challenge for Mr. Arlington, who has a daughter, Kinsley, and a son, Sawyer, as well as a wife, Janine, and a dog, Harley. However, he is looking forward to spending a full week with his family during the holiday season.
"I love spending time with my family - always," Mr. Arlington said. "Being a superintendent often means spending less time at night with them. So, I'm excited to spend a whole week with them uninterrupted during the holiday season."
In addition to his work as a superintendent, Mr. Arlington is also continuing his own education by taking classes at night in New York City to become a better teacher.
"No matter what holiday you celebrate, I hope the Harding School Community has a great holiday season!" Mr. Arlington said in closing.
We thank Mr. Arlington for sharing some details about himself and his amazing job. Mr. Arlington and the entire Newspaper Committee wish you a Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.

HOLMDEL, NJ — The township has been awarded a county open space grant of $272,000 for Bayonet Farm Park improvements, including the Harding House.
The funds are through the Monmouth County Municipal Open Space Grant program, according to a letter from Monmouth County.
"That's a big deal - the township did a good job," said Karen Strickland of the Citizens for Informed Land Use, a Holmdel organization that supports environmental protection and holds Earth Day events at the site.
The Township Committee in July passed a resolution to apply for the Monmouth County Municipal Park Improvement grant.
The township had been seeking 50 percent grant funding of $340,000 for improvements to Bayonet Farm Park, including the Harding House and other park facilities, half of a planned $680,000 project.
Township Administrator Jay Delaney said no decision has been made as yet on either scaling the project to reflect the partial grant award and phasing it over one or more years, or committing additional local funds to complete the project as initially planned.
"I expect to be in a better position to recommend a plan going forward after we meet with the County Parks staff and better understand the grant timeline and other specifics," he said Thursday.
The county told the township in a letter it will set up a meeting to review the grant details.
Total park improvements were envisioned at $680,000, the township has said. The park is at 71 Middletown Road and consists of the house, plus two barns. The house was owned by the late heiress Laura Harding.
Strickland has said previously that the township last year repaired flashing around the chimney and replaced the heating system, making the home more comfortable. A new roof will provide even more protection. The grant could also fund other improvements, such as widening a doorway for ADA access, Strickland said.
You can read more about Bayonet Farm and the Harding family and estate here.
The Monmouth County Municipal Open Space Grant program began in 2003. The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners approved an Open Space Trust Fund and established the municipal park program to provide grant funds "in connection with municipal park improvements, development, and redevelopment projects."
