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.

MORRISTOWN, NJ — The national bakery café chain Paris Baguette is moving into Morristown.
The chain, which offers sandwiches, hand-crafted cakes, breads, and coffee drinks, told Patch that they will be opening up their newest location at 10 Lafayette Avenue.
According to Paris Baguette Chief Development Officer Eric Lavinder, the goal is to be ready to open the store within the next year.
"We have a lease signed, and we're working on construction plans as we speak. Typically, construction can take 14 to 18 weeks, give or take some permitting challenges, equipment, contractors and that kind of stuff, but we would definitely hope to be open mid-next year," Lavinder said.
Paris Baguette is in the midst of a national expansion plan. Their newest Morristown location will bring the total number of Paris Baguette cafés in the county to more than 150. The nearest existing Paris Baguette in New Jersey is in Livingston.
Paris Baguette is a bakery café franchise with more than 4,000 units across the globe. The brand was first franchised in the U.S. in 2015 and has since established more than 150 locations in markets across the country, making it one of the premier franchise opportunities in its category.
According to Lavinder, the move to Morristown just made sense for the company because their headquarters are in Moonachie, which is only one hour away from the new Morristown location.
"We're excited to expand, but also excited to bring it to what we consider somewhat of a local community to where we are," Lavinder said. "You know, it took us a while to find the right location because we want to make sure that we set our franchisees up for ultimate success. This kind of worked out perfectly for us," he continued.
Once they are open, the café is expected to bring in anywhere from 25 to 50 jobs to the area, officials said.
"It's not just a fast food restaurant. It's really a skill that people learn that they can elevate and grow into within the franchise. There are a lot of different levels to our complexity that allow them the ability to learn some good transferable skills as they grow their experience in the workplace," Lavinder said.
While the chain is well-known for its breads and pastries, it also serves up salads, sandwiches and seasonal items and offers catering.
Some of the more unique items on the menu include:
"You can come in and get daily pastries and daily items. We're really about creating that vibe—that old nostalgia of the neighborhood bakery cafés that we were all probably used to a long time ago. We're bringing that back and are really excited about the fact that we're bringing something, something that we believe is unique to the marketplace," Lavinder said.

MORRISTOWN, NJ — PrimoHoagies, the gourmet specialty sandwich chain, has set a date for the grand opening of their newest Morristown location.
According to officials, the newest location will officially open on Oct. 26 at 10 a.m., with a ribbon-cutting ceremony set to begin promptly at 9:45 a.m.
The store, located at 44 Speedwell Ave., Morristown, is owned by local residents Patty Babb and Drew Busa.
“We're beyond excited to introduce Morristown to the authentic flavors and quality that PrimoHoagies is known for,” said Babb. “It’s an exciting new chapter for us, and the vibrant energy and growth in this city make it the perfect place for our second venture.”
Babb and Busa are excited to establish their second PrimoHoagies store, following the success of their first, which opened earlier this year in Byram.
Babb, who also already owns six Dunkin' Donuts outlets in the area with her husband, Russ, met Busa while working at their various sites. Babb said she saw Busa as the ideal candidate to co-own their upcoming PrimoHoagies after being impressed by his drive and abilities.
The location was carefully chosen by the team, who recognized Morristown's attraction as a burgeoning hub for new businesses and a magnet for young residents, showing a unique urban environment in North Jersey.
The 1,800-square-foot store is expected to employ about 15 people, with dine-in seating, takeout, and delivery options. PrimoHoagies also offers catering, including its popular hoagie trays, which are perfect for special events, gamedays and luncheons.
The Morristown location will be open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
"To celebrate Morristown’s new favorite hoagie destination, PrimoHoagies is offering the first 100 customers in line on Oct. 26 a free Primo Size Hoagie. For the rest of Grand Opening Day, customers who enroll in the rewards program will enjoy Primo Size Hoagies for just $6.99," officials said.
In addition to the great opening celebrations, PrimoHoagies is launching an exciting "Golden Ticket" promotion that will continue for the entire week following the grand opening.
Ten golden tickets will be randomly put among Hoagies, and lucky customers who find them will be able to redeem them for a $25 PrimoHoagies gift card at the Morristown location.
PrimoHoagies is a Philadelphia-founded sandwich company known for "mouth-watering hoagies piled high with top-quality meats, cheeses, and a unique blend of spices."
PrimoHoagies uses recipes passed down through the generations for its iconic hoagies. It layers Thumann’s meats and cheeses, a secret blend of spices, and locally sourced fresh vegetables onto award-winning, seeded rolls that are baked fresh throughout the day.
The casual restaurant’s diverse menu features a variety of cold and hot hoagies, cheesesteaks, wraps, vegetarian options, antipasti salads, chips, drinks, fresh-baked cookies and more.
Situated at 44 Speedwell Avenue, the sandwich shop will be taking over the former location of Playabowls, which closed down last June and relocated to 14 North Park Place.

The former chair of the Morristown Housing Authority has been charged with theft after Morris County officials say she used a company-issued credit card to take nearly $25,000 earlier this year.
Maureen Denman, 61, made 97 ATM withdrawals totaling $24,860 between Feb. 10 and April 6, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed last Friday by the Morris County Prosecutor's Office. The complaint also states that she changed the status of a credit card issued by the housing authority "without authorization to do so," which allowed her to make the withdrawals.
Denman was executive director of the Morristown Community Development Corporation, a subsidiary of the housing authority, at the time of the alleged crimes. She is also listed online as the chair of the Morristown Environmental Commission as well as acting treasurer of the town Democratic Committee.
Housing authority executive director Keith Kinard described the Morristown Community Development Corporation as a "development arm" of his agency, with a mission to explore new affordable housing opportunities in Morristown. He confirmed to the Daily Record that Denman served as chair of the housing authority before leaving for the offshoot organization.
"Any alleged theft was related to her role with [Morristown Community Development Corporation]," he said.
Kinard reported the suspected theft and fraud by an employee to the prosecutor's office on Aug. 2, according to the affidavit. An investigation revealed that Denman conducted unauthorized withdrawals with a Lakeland Bank credit card issued by the Morristown Community Development Corporation to use for "families in need."

Denman did not comment on the allegations but provided a statement Wednesday night from her attorney, W. Michael Murphy. Murphy highlighted his client's years of volunteer service to Morristown and called her "a source of assistance to numerous individuals who have suffered from challenging issues."
"Her friendship and mentoring remains a source of comfort and inspiration to countless friends, family members and neighbors," Murphy said. "Over the next several months she will steadfastly address the issues that have arisen during her time of service to the Morristown Housing Authority."
Denman is facing third-degree theft and fraud charges, the affidavit said. She has an appearance in Morris County Superior Court scheduled for Oct. 18.

Morristown, NJ - The award-winning Morristown High School Theatre Program is proud to present their fall drama production, The Tempest, the tragicomedy by William Shakespeare with four performances running November 17 - 19, 2023.
While many classical literature fans are familiar with the acclaimed play opening with a shipwreck, let’s just say, theatergoers will be in for a futuristic surprise. Here’s a hint…what happens when Shakespeare meets Dune? Well, you get Morristown High School’s rendition of The Tempest.
In a post-climate apocalypse, a scientist, Prospera, causes an airship to crash so she can take revenge upon her enemies. What follows are exchanges between characters that will make you both laugh, and think. The Tempest presents topics that remain relevant 400 years after the play was written, like revenge and forgiveness, abuse of power and the importance of individual freedoms.

Morristown High School Play Director, George LaVigne, shares why he chose the play saying, “In our current ecological crisis, greed and ambition trump scientific fact and progress, threatening our very existence. The Tempest warns us of the peril in closing ourselves off from the world, said LaVigne. It is also fitting, in that it is the 400th anniversary of the official publication of Shakespeare's plays, and The Tempest is the opening play of the First Folio.”
The play will feature four live performances, two evening shows and two matinees.
Tickets for the upcoming productions can be purchased here: mhstix.com
