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.

Editor's Note: Patch emailed all candidates at the email addresses listed for their campaigns in the clerk's office. The responses will be revealed between now and the general election on November 7. These comments will be published with just minor stylistic changes. Candidates who wish to participate but did not receive an invitation should email [email protected].
Name: Christina Lee
Age: 49
Town of Residence: Mendham Township since 2008
Position Sought: Mendham Township representative for the West Morris Regional High School Board of Education
Family: My husband, Randy and I have been married for 16 years. We have a daughter who is attending WMRHS as a freshman and a son who is in 7th grade at MTMS.
Education: Worcester State University, BS/Health Education
Occupation: I work for a healthcare performance improvement company. I help hospitals identifysavings opportunities and recommend products & solutions to support their goals.
Why are you seeking a run for school board?
As a parent with children in the school system, I have a vested interest in the quality of their education and I am running for the school board to add a fresh perspective and voice to issues that concern Mendham Township residents.
What is a pressing issue in the school district?
After speaking with many parents, one of the most pressing issues is the lack of transparency. Specifically, the process of how books, also referred to as “resource texts” are chosen. The educational content being presented to students has changed dramatically over the years.
Earlier in 2023, there was community outrage regarding a resource text utilized in an English senior class called “FUN HOME.” This a graphic novel and contains pornographic images of people having sex. The images show oral sex, a picture of a topless 11-year-old girl, masturbation, explicit language and contains sexual metaphors meant to stimulate arousal. Despite over 470 people objecting to having this book in the classroom, my opponent ignored those voices and voted in favor of the book. He justified his vote by saying he created a “winning compromise” by allowing it to be a “student choice.”
Opposing parents call it an “OPT OUT” Either way, it is not a solution. Teachers have already expressed they don’t know how to teach two texts simultaneously and students could be potentially be ostracized for their decision or feel the social pressures to OPT IN.
Sadly, I have discovered that highly sexual content is now common to find at almost all grade levels within the classroom setting. A mother recently shared with me that her daughter, while in 11th-grade Spanish class, watched an R rated movie called “Like Water for Chocolate.” Her daughter was shocked to find this movie included people having sex & was shown full frontal nudity of both men and women. I was told permission slips weren’t required in this classroom of 16-year-old students. You may be asking yourself, why would a Spanish class select a movie that shows people having sex? I don’t know the answer to that, but what I can share with you is that under the leadership of my opponent, a policy was created that eliminated the board’s oversight responsibilities for the curriculum and book selection content.
The board is in place for this exact reason, to provide oversight. In addition, under his leadership, there was no documentation found supporting FUN HOME’s approval. “FUN HOME” and “Like Water for Chocolate” are distractions to learning. We need to focus on improving our academic performance. US News and World Report has shown West Morris High School has dropped 3 years in a row while competing districts have kept their ratings.
What sets you apart from the other candidates?
In addition to what I outlined above, I have children in the school system which gives me a personal stake in the quality of their education. My opponent does not. I hear directly from other students, parents, and educators which provides me with many unique perspectives.
For the past 9 years, working for a healthcare performance improvement company has provided me with the experience of collaborating with people of varying backgrounds and has equipped me with the knowledge and experience to support effective strategies that will ensure the wise use of our tax dollars.
The information I have acquired over the years is transferrable to the education system. If permitted, I can provide guidance on how the school may be able to take advantage of savings opportunities, for example, in the area of nutrition, facilities management & purchased services.
What special qualifications do you bring to help meet the challenge?
In life, I try to take a common-sense approach to evaluating circumstances where there are mixed interpretations and beliefs. There is a significant difference between providing accurate, age-appropriate sexual education versus simply exposing minors to sexually explicit content just for the sake of it. It is known that exposing kids to graphic material that is not age-appropriate has negative consequences to their mental health.
I feel it is contradictory when a school shares a growing concern about the mental health issues students are facing while simultaneously exposing students to sexual content that they are unable to emotionally process.
In addition, I find it hard to believe that implementing a policy that says our school does not condone the use of sexually explicit material in the classroom would somehow narrow our pool of talented teachers. Furthermore, the argument that the content is somehow okay because minors are already likely exposed to it is negligent in my eyes.
What else would you like to share about yourself or your campaign?
As I have been walking door to door, it appears I am being labeled as a “book banner”. I am sure the title “movie banner” is coming soon. I am not advocating book or movie banning. I find this description very narrow-minded. I am simply against the use of any pornography/sexually explicit material as part of the school’s curriculum. We could never show this type of material in the corporate world. Why are we encouraging it in the school system? If a family wants expose their kids to this type of material, it can still be purchased online, checked out of the library or be streamed. Lastly, I am really excited about the opportunity to serve my community that I have grown to love so much.

MENDHAM-CHESTER, NJ — Mendham and Chester, like other towns in New Jersey, used to go through a lot of plastic bags. But according to a recent study, a state ban is keeping more than two million of them out of the trash every year in the township.
It’s been nearly two years since New Jersey banned stores and supermarkets from handing out single-use plastic bags to their customers, and the debate over the ban’s effectiveness continues to swirl.
Gov. Phil Murphy signed the ban into law in 2020. It became active in May 2022. Learn more about what is allowed – and what isn’t – on the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s website.
Supporters of the ban have said it is reducing pollution and litter, arguing that New Jersey isn’t the only state with a bag ban – and that the ban is working all across the nation, including in Mendham and Chester.
According to Environment America, a national network of 30 advocacy groups, New Jersey’s ban prevents 1,467,568 bags from entering the trash stream in Mendham Borough every year. Those bags would stretch 255 miles if laid side by side, saving 7,397 gallons of oil used to produce them, the group says.
In Mendham Township, the count was 1,780,144 fewer single-use plastic bags which would save 8,972 gallons of oil and stretch 309 miles if laid side-by-side, the group said. Statistics are based on population totals.
Meanwhile, the study says the ban prevents 2,284,824 bags from going in the trash Chester trash stream every year. Those bags would stretch 397 miles if laid side by side, saving 11,516 gallons of oil used to produce them, the group says. That is based on Chester's population of 7,719 residents.
Other environmental advocates have agreed that the bag ban is working in New Jersey.
“It is obvious that New Jersey’s well-designed single-use plastic bag ban has successfully reduced plastic bag use and associated litter and pollution,” said JoAnn Gemenden, executive director at the New Jersey Clean Communities Council.
“When I drive around or go shopping, it’s rare for me to see a single-use bag blowing in the wind or discarded in a shopping cart,” Gemenden said. “Because of this law, New Jersey has considerably less visible litter.”
Critics have countered that plastic bag bans are a burden on businesses and their customers – and they aren’t nearly as effective as their supporters claim.
A recent study said that since the state is now relying on heavier reusable bags — most of which are made of non-woven polypropylene — three times more plastic (by the pound) is being produced than before the ban. Researchers also said that greenhouse gas emissions from the production of those bags have skyrocketed by 500 percent compared to 2015 levels.
The study comes from Freedonia Custom Research — a market-research firm. Advocates have bashed the analysis, pointing out that it was paid for by a group that “represents the interests of U.S.-based manufacturers and recyclers of plastic bags.”
Patch's Eric Kiefer contributed to this report.
