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.

MINE HILL - A popular natural spring has closed its gates, citing the high cost of mandated testing as the reason for shutting down the Canfield Avenue watering hole.
The water at Artisan Spring Hill at Canfield still runs as it always does, but now in addition to being protected from non-members by a steel cage, it’s under heavy lock and chains, preventing anyone from accessing the spring.
Tuesday, the gate appeared to be damaged and a box at the front of the cage contained pieces of paper with a statement from the Paschal family, the spring’s owners for nearly half a century, about the immediate closure of the spring.
“Due to the high cost of New Jersey mandated drinking water tests, we are forced to permanently close the spring immediately,” read the statement.
“The water laboratory projected the cost for fourth quarter water testing to be $540 – same as it was last quarter. We cannot afford to continue covering this cost, and have to avoid further fourth quarter water testing fees. We cannot legally provide this water without testing and reporting the results to the state of New Jersey.”
The costs for people to access the spring was a requested $10 donation per quarter, plus an initial $10 membership fee and security deposit.
“It is with deep regret that we can no longer keep the spring open, but donations could not come close to covering our mandated operating costs, and we can no longer afford to carry it,” the statement concluded. “Thanks to those of you who contributed on a regular basis and tried to keep the spring available to all.”
The spring’s website, http://www.springhillatcanfield.com/, which contained testing results and other information, is also no longer operational.
Phone calls to the number previously on that website are now greeted by an automated message, saying it closed due to high cost of testing on Nov. 2.
According to the website “Find A Spring,” Spring Hill was discovered by the Paschal family more than 30 years ago and produces about 125,000 gallons of water per day. It is one of less than a dozen New Jersey springs listed on the website and the only one in Morris County.
The water from the spring is 49 degrees year-round, and flows from a crack in a granite ledge.
Mottel Baleston stopped by the spring to fill three jugs Tuesday afternoon, and was disappointed to find it closed.
“I thought I had until December 31 to fill,” Baleston said, referencing a mailbox on the fence surrounding the spring that states a closing date of Dec. 31, 2015. “I just started using it four months ago and paid for the year.”
Baleston, 60, of Roxbury said he was saddened to see the spring closed, but not angry.
“Last time I was here there were three other people in line to fill jugs so there is a demand for it,” Baleston said. “It’s very good water, an important resource for the community.”
There may still be hope that the cage reopens to the public though, according to Mine Hill Mayor Sam Morris.
“The town would like to discuss with the owner possibly buying it after New Year’s,” Morris said. “It’s apparently very good water and I am hopeful we can have a meaningful discussion with them.”
The spring’s owners could not be reached for comment.

MINE HILL, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- A family in Morris County was left with a major bill to pay, after a history of mining in their town came back to haunt them.
As CBS2's Meg Baker reported, a giant sink hole just 14 feet from the family's Mine Hill home opened up last week. It's a remnant of an old mine that existed long before West Randolph Avenue did.
"I was coming home from work and walking up the steps and I noticed the big hole in the side of the yard," Andrew Kauf said.
He discovered the 19-foot deep hole on December 30. The next morning he said he was woken up by a loud thud. The hole had gotten bigger, creating another smaller opening.
The family was on pins and needles, afraid that the house will fall in.
Engineers assured them that will not happen.
The house has been in the Kauf family since the 1970s. He said he knew about old mines dating back to the Revolutionary War, but never expected after all these years that one would open up.
"A few houses down basements fell in," he said.
Luckily there were no gas lines below, and other utilities seem to be a safe distance away, but the cost to fill the hole is high at $10,000 and up.
Large boulders are needed, and it's not cheap to transport them.
The mayor said the Kauf's sink hole isn't the only one. Another one, about 20 feet deep, was discovered by someone walking their dog.
Sam Morris has been the mayor for five years.
"Since I've been mayor seven active holes that opened up, three residential, four on non," Morris explained.
Support beams were visible in the woods off Canfield Avenue.
"What you would call entry hole to mine shaft, clear hole in the bed rock which is what you need to get through to the iron ore," Morris explained.
The mayor has been working with state officials to find remediation funds.
"In the early 90s one of the governors thought it was a good idea to stop contributing to this and New Jersey opted out," Morris said.
State Senator Tony Bucco acknowledged that this is a serious issue.
"I have already engaged environmental and labor officials to identify adequate funding to provide to the community," Bucco said.
For now, Kauf is left to deal with the issue on his own. He's hoping that forecast rain over the weekend won't cause more damage.
Sinkholes from old mines are an issue in neighboring Rockaway Township, Randolph, Chester Township, and Ringwood.

MINE HILL TOWNSHIP — The body of a naked infant boy was found at a private recycling facility in the township on Tuesday. On Friday morning the investigation continued, but local and Morris County officials were not releasing details.
The body was found by a recycling center worker at ReCommunity Recycling on Iron Mountain Road, according to one of two sources with knowledge of the investigation.
There are two recycling centers on Iron Mountain Road, in an industrial portion of the township, located in Morris County. The ReCommunity plant manager told a Daily Record reporter the company is cooperating with authorities regarding the matter and referred all questions to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office. He would not give his name or further details.
Prosecutor's Office spokesman Paul Merkler said the investigation is ongoing and no further details are being released at this time.

Larry Gindoff, executive director of the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority, said his agency has a contract with ReCommunity under which MUA workers collect recyclables from about 14 municipalities and drop them off at the facility. There, Gindoff said, recyclables are sorted by machinery.
The MUA delivers 11,000 to 13,000 tons of recyclables annually to the facility, which Gindoff said also has customers from elsewhere in Morris County as well as Sussex and Warren counties. He said he believes it would be impossible to tell which hauler deposited a load that contained the infant's body. He said the MUA collectors do not inspect the recyclables they pick up because sorting is done at ReCommunity.
"It's incredibly sad," Gindoff said.
ReCommunity consists of two, two-story rectangular buildings connected by scaffolding. Bales of recycled products are visible through front windows and the front entrance of one of the buildings. On Friday, early afternoon, trucks were on site unloading recyclables into a loading bay.
An autopsy to determine cause and manner of death of the baby would be standard procedure in the investigation.

MORRISTOWN — The former treasurer of the Mine Hill Fire Department was sentenced today to three years in prison for stealing $330,000 from the department over a six-year period.
Lisa Ayers, 40, of Mine Hill, pleaded guilty in October to theft, admitting that she embezzled the money regularly from 2007 through 2013 and used it for personal expenses, including her family’s mortgage and two car loans.
Under terms of the sentence handed down by Superior Court Judge Stuart Minkowitz in Morristown, Ayers must pay $228,631 in restitution and must serve nine months before she will become eligible for parole.
She may also apply for admission into the state’s Intensive Supervision Program, which would allow her to be released from prison a few months earlier than her parole date.
Ayers’ attorney, Paul Selitto, had asked that Ayers serve probation only, noting that she has already repaid more than $100,000 and stole the money only because she was “desperate to provide for her family,” which includes her husband and two daughters.
Crestfallen by the judge’s ruling, Ayers wept profusely as she was placed in handcuffs afterward. “I love you all,” she told numerous family members who were crying in the courtroom.
Earlier, Ayers had apologized to the court for her actions, saying, “I made a huge and terrible mistake.”
Deputy Attorney General Anthony Picione had asked for a five-year sentence. He said Ayers embezzled the money hundreds of times and the discrepancies were discovered after she failed to repay a loan for a new roof at the fire station.
The thefts included 53 checks totaling $77,661 to pay the mortgage loan on her home, more than $22,000 in payments for two car loans and 224 ATM withdrawals totaling $68,000, Picione said.
“People do various things when they are in a financial hardship,” Picione said. “Not everyone chooses to steal.”
