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.

Madison, NJ —Madison is one step closer to realizing its solar carport project after Tuesday’s mayor and council meeting.
The council unanimously approved a bond ordinance to authorize the construction of the carport with roof-mounted solar panels at the Madison Recreation Complex. The purchasing price of the project is $2 million with a federal incentive between $600K and $800K depending on if construction materials are American made. The council authorized up to $700K in debt but does not anticipate having to use the funds. This authorization is needed to go out to bid.
At the current timeline, the council could award a contract in late July and start construction in the fall. The borough estimates it will save $88,000 a year on electric bills from the solar carport.

Four additional ordinances were introduced during the meeting. Three of which were yearly routine updates and the last ordinance is appropriating $100,000 for the MRC basketball/pickleball court construction project. The bid for the project ended up going over what the council anticipated but it will be fully funded.
Eleven resolutions were also adopted unanimously. The adoption of R 146-2023 appointed John Forte to fill a vacancy on the council until the next general election.
R 145-23 authorized the development agreement with Walnut Street, L.P. for Madison’s 44 unit affordable housing project at the Civic Center and Community Place. The borough has increased its financing commitment to $3 million after receiving a $2,086,269 grant as part of Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill’s Community Block Grant program. The council noted that there will also be dedicated solar panels for each apartment unit.

MADISON, NJ — Following ongoing discussions about a district policy, a group of parents recently urged the school district to maintain a safe environment for transgender students during a Board of Education meeting.
Recently, a local parent group has voiced their opposition to the state transgender student policy in the Madison school district, even asking the board to consider proposed policy edits, which the board rejected.
The school board reaffirmed its commitment to the state policy, saying that any changes to it would contribute to the marginalization of local transgender students.
During the time for public comment at the board meeting, Cassie Jennings, a sophomore at Madison High School, spoke before the board and expressed her frustration with the ongoing discussions.
"I came here tonight because sometimes I think that adults in town don't realize that kids hear what you're talking about, and my friends and I, especially my trans friends, are really upset and scared when we hear that there are adults who want to change the transgender policy," Jennings said.
In Jennings' opinion, the existence of the policy gives the transgender community additional assurance that the school district is looking out for their interests. Jennings also lauded Madison High School Principal David Drechsel for his dedication to the protection of the LGBTQ+ community.
"I know that the issue of bathrooms has come up at the past board of education meetings and as a student at MHS, I want to say that bathrooms are such a small part of the school day... However nervous a cis kid may be to use the bathroom when a trans kid is in it, I promise that a trans kid is even more scared of being questioned or teased," Jennings said.
According to the school district's website, Policy 5756, titled "Transgender Students," was first adopted by the Madison school district in 2015 and then revised in 2019. The policy's goal is to establish guidelines for schools in addressing common issues concerning transgender students' needs.
One of the more contentious provisions of the policy, in the eyes of some parents, is that it states that the school district shall accept a student's asserted gender identity and that parental consent is not necessary.
"There may be instances where a parent of a minor student disagrees with the student regarding the name and pronoun to be used at school and in the student’s education records. School staff members should continue to refer to the student in accordance with the student’s chosen name and pronoun at school," the policy states.
This point was raised by a couple of parents and adults at previous board meetings, who stated that it does not seem right for teachers to lie to parents about their children if asked, and asked that the board be upfront about how such a situation would play out.
According to Mark Schwarz, Superintendent of Madison Public Schools, the school district would be unable to discuss those specifics with the public because each potential family case is handled differently depending on circumstance.
"Our policy allows a pretty good amount of flexibility and emphasizes the importance of coordinating with families. We recognize that we have to be very delicate if we ever do identify a circumstance where a child is identifying one way in school and the parents may not be aware of that," Schwarz said.
A woman named Beth, whose last name was inaudible on the meeting video, praised the board for standing up for transgender children and ensuring a safe space for all students to feel empowered to be themselves.
"The district supports our students regardless of how they identify in any category, and especially our transgender students. We absolutely support their well-being, we create safe spaces for them every day. We want them to know how much we care about them and stand by them," Schwarz said.

MADISON, NJ – The Madison Dodgers earned a six inning mercy rule victory on senior night as they defeated the Mountain Lakes Lakers by a score of 10-0.
Senior night can often be an emotional night for the players as it is one of the last times they play in front of the home crowd as a high school student athlete. Madison did not miss a beat, however, as they came ready to play Thursday night.
The Dodgers got off to a good start as senior Sophia DeCaro led off the bottom of the first with a triple. After fellow senior Gwen Tuhy drew a walk Sarah Stuhlmiller drove in a run with a groundout as the trio of senior players produced the game’s first run. Later in the inning with two outs and Tuhy now on second, Beau Braverman laced a base hit into right field that was mishandled by the Lakers outfield rolling all the way to temporary fence allowing Braverman to circle the bases to put the Dodgers up 3-0.

That was more than enough run support for Madison starter Charlotte Tuhy. The sophomore was dominant Thursday night as she racked up 12 strikeouts over the course of six innings pitched. Tuhy struck out the side in the second and fifth innings and punched out five consecutive batters on two separate occasions in the ultimate display of how in control she was against Mountain Lakes.
“She did great on the mound and kept them off balance. She got the outs that we needed,” commented Madison head coach Jessica Rosella on Tuhy’s performance.
The offense would provide more in the latter stages of the game. Madison added a run in the third and fifth innings to push their lead to a comfortable 5-0 margin. It was not until the bottom of the sixth inning when the Dodgers opened up the floodgates offensively. The Tuhy sisters would provide the final blow to the Lakers as it was first Gwen singling home a run to make it 6-0. Then Charlotte came up with the bases loaded and proceeded to bring all three runners home with a triple to stretch the lead out to 9-0. Charlotte then came home with the mercy rule clinching run on an infield error by Mountain Lakes triggering the 10 run rule and bringing Madison’s record back even at 7-7.
The two stars of the game, senior Sophia DeCaro and sophomore Charlotte Tuhy, talked postgame about the good feeling around the Madison team heading into the stretch run.
“It felt really good to get a win for my team and I am happy for the seniors,” DeCaro said after going 3-4 with three runs scored. “I feel like we have a good momentum.” Tuhy agreed with her teammate that Madison is playing very loose and with a lot of good energy at the moment.
“It was a lot of fun because it is senior night and there was a lot of energy and good vibes.”
Rosella was also singing the praises of the seniors for all the hard work and dedication they have brought to the Madison program over the last number of years. Rosella was happy that the team was able to provide some good memories on 2023’s version of senior night.
“These seniors have put in their time and been great for us for the past three years so getting a win like that is always nice. It’s light, it’s comfortable, it’s fun so they enjoy senior night a little bit more.”
Beyond the celebratory festivities that come with a senior night, Thursday night’s win for Madison was its third in a row and after falling to 4-7 after a loss to Hanover Park on 4/26 Rosella can sleep well at night knowing her team is back even record wise.
“Feels good,” Rosella said. "That is what this team is capable of. We are definitely an above .500 team.”
Part of the winning streak for Madison has been wins in its first two Morris County Tournament games. That coupled with the looming presence of the state tournament and Rosella thinks that her team is playing its best ball at the right time.
“Yeah, absolutely,” the Madison head coach said about the team peaking late in the season. “We are getting people back from injuries and now we are just starting to gel a little bit and knowing our roles. Hopefully that takes us into the quarterfinals for counties and into states.”

Madison Mayor Robert Conley is once again calling on Drew University officials to meet with him to discuss the preservation of the environmentally sensitive Drew Forest sitting between the campus and residential neighborhoods in the borough.
Drew and Madison have been at odds over the 53-acre property since the school announced its interest in selling it to developers last year. Residents of neighborhoods bordering the property on the south end of the campus and other environmental advocates have formed a non-profit group, Friends of the Drew Forest, which circulated a petition supporting preservation that has accumulated more than 14,000 signatures.
Speaking Monday at the Madison Council meeting, Conley said he wants to work with Drew to prepare a Morris County Open Space Grant application to buy the land and prevent development there. The deadline for applications is June.
"A key requirement for the application is control of the property, such as a contract purchase agreement," Conley said. "The university officials have publicly stated that they are committed to saving the forest, so I am optimistic that come next year’s reorganizational meeting in early January, the Friends of the Drew Forest will be having a song of celebration. I’m looking forward to that."
More:Madison's rare Lincoln painting on its way to National Portrait Gallery in D.C.
The conflict escalated into a court battle last year when Drew attorneys argued at a hearing in August before Judge Stephan Hansbury in state Superior Court that Madison's agreement with the non-profit Fair Share Housing Center to build 347 affordable housing units should be recalculated to include the Drew Forest property. Madison's failure to do so effectively lowered the value of the land on the commercial market, they said.
Hansbury partially granted the school's motion to intervene in its home borough's negotiated settlement with the state to build new affordable housing. He also ordered the university to produce a survey that identifies the specific portions of the 53-acre forest and 63 total acres of vacant land in question.
Thursday, Drew officials responded with a statement that “We have been in settlement discussions with Madison as we attempt to create a win-win result for the University and our host community."
Conley's remarks also referenced a video posted by environmentalist Douglas Tallamy.
"Drew Forest is an exceptional example of a publicly accessible homegrown national park," he says in the video. "It's stunning how Drew University, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, local garden clubs and private individuals came together 14 years ago to transform an unhealthy forest into a regionally important biodiversity hotspot."
Drew's website describes its forest preserve as "a natural laboratory for student research, ecology classes and ecological restoration" with trails open to the public."
“It’s extremely important" Tallamy said, "that all parties come together to preserve the Drew Forest."
