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.

Former Morristown Council President Sandi Mayer, who was a town council member from 2019 until 2023, died on Monday.
Many were heartbroken to hear about her passing including Congressman Josh Gottheimer who posted on X, formerly Twitter, sending his condolences: "She was a fierce and stalwart advocate for democracy, women’s health, the US-Israel relationship, and the Jewish community in North Jersey. May her memory be a blessing."
U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill, NJ-11, posted: "This week, our community lost a brilliant leader and committed public servant in Sandi Mayer. Throughout the years, I had the privilege of knowing and working with Sandi."
The Morris County Democratic Committee tweeted: "Sandi was a fierce fighter, even once publicly vowing to be 'hell in heels' to push for what she believed was right in her community."
A cause of death has not yet been publicly released. A celebration of Mayer's life will be held on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. at the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ in Whippany.
Mayer was a member of the Moms Demand Action, a group that advocates for gun reform legislation, co-chair for the Morris County Democratic Committee Elected Caucus and was going to be the chairperson of the new Morris County Democratic Committee Jewish Caucus. She also was a member of Friends of Footes Pond Woods, a grassroots organization dedicated to the preservation of that Morristown pond.

On her website, it stated she was an advocate for responsible construction and development, wanted to establish volunteer parks and playground commissions and was a supporter of "maintaining the character and charm of our downtown district while promoting and supporting our new and existing businesses."
She had deep connections with the town she served as she was a resident of Morristown for 32 years.
She lost the primary for the Fourth Ward council seat last June to Chris Russo, a member of the Morristown Planning Board.

MORRISTOWN, NJ — A Morristown teenager’s fundraiser to fill a World War II-era Jeep with items for veterans received over $1,300 in monetary contributions, and filled several vehicles with donations from the community.
Nicholas Heusel and his mom Michele said the contributions from neighbors, the Morris School District community, and other supporters ended up filling two rooms of their house, and totaled close to $7,000 worth of items.
"It surpassed my expectations," he said of the drive. "I think it went really well."
The Morristown High School junior, whose grandfather served in World War II, launched the "Help Me Fill a Willy's Jeep" campaign earlier this year to support veterans receiving care at the Lyons VA Hospital.
The Willys MB was used by the U.S. Army and the Allied forces in World War II — including by Michele's father, Dr. Robert Newhouse of Florham Park. Newhouse served with the 78th Infantry Division during the Battle of the Bulge, and will celebrate his 100th birthday later this year.
Michele said that after Nicholas publicized the fundraiser through the Morris School District district and talked with Patch in February, Nicholas was flooded with supportive emails from supporters and messages from Amazon donors.
"Somebody would say, 'My father was in the Battle of the Bulge,' and 'Thank you Nick, you rock," she said. "Just things to root him on and keep encouraging and motivating him. It was really amazing. People really wanted to give back and help."
Nicholas is a member of the New Jersey Military Transport Association, and several group members brought their Willys Jeeps to join a more modern Jeep Wrangler and a Jeep Gladiator for a drive to the Lyons VA Medical Center several weeks ago.
They loaded up the vehicles with items for veterans receiving care throughout the medical center, including: Snacks and cereal, coffee and creamer, two coffee makers, clothing, slippers, blankets, activity books and other arts materials, and Dunkin' gift cards.
"It was great having the amount of support that I did, especially from my parents, the school, the MTA club, and the community to really make it a great fund drive," Nicholas told Patch.
Michele her high school friend Andrea Antonelli, who is Parade Chairwoman for the MTA,, drove some of the food donations up a week before in a Humvee.
The non-profit Military Transport Association preserves military vehicles and their history, holds its own events for veterans, and participates in parades throughout the state. They also host an annual military vehicle show and swap meet in Augusta — which is coming up on April 27 and 28. The MTA was founded in 1972.
MTA president Gary Schultz was one of the members who went with Nicholas, Michele, and other volunteers to drive the boxes and bags full of items up to the Medical Center.
"When (Nick) came up with the 'Fill a Willy's Jeep' idea, I thought that it was a really ambitious effort to help our veterans," said Schultz, who has been a member of the organization for 42 years.
Schultz said Nicholas "has been very instrumental and active" in many events since he joined with his parents three years ago. And, Schultz mentioned that making an Amazon wish list to help veterans is something that older members had not yet thought of.
"For a younger member like Nicholas to think of these new, innovative ways to raise donation supplies, it really worked out," he said.

MORRISTOWN, NJ – The Town of Morristown, in collaboration with Morris Arts, is calling all New Jersey artists to create public artwork at a critical gateway to the Town. The project will be the third under Morristown’s Percent for Art program, in which redevelopment projects contribute 1% of the cost of construction to a local art project.
The installation will be located along Market and Bank Streets, and will be funded by the Town’s One Percent For Arts initiative, which allocates one percent of construction costs (up to $100,000) in Morristown’s redevelopment zones to be used towards a public art project.
The location for the installation is a block at the heart of downtown Morristown that will draw the attention of tens of thousands of residents and visitors to Morristown each day. Within the block are four potential canvases offering opportunities for murals, sculpture and more. These canvases include public plaza spaces, as well as walls and building facades.

“We are excited to see the creative visions that artists will bring to Morristown through the newest One Percent for Art project”, said Mayor Tim Dougherty “This program exemplifies the transformative power of art and its ability to inspire, provoke thought, and bring people together”
The goal of this project is twofold, said town officials. First, the artist should aspire to create a signature piece of artwork, that enhances Morristown’s artistic reputation and speaks to the energy, movement, and transformation of Morristown. Second, the art itself should be viewed by the community as a destination in and of itself, as well as contributing to and accentuating the overall aesthetic of the surrounding area. The artist will have latitude in their choice of medium and design specifics of their work.
Artist submissions can be made through CAFÉ- Call For Entry, and the Request for Proposals can be accessed here: https://bit.ly/morristownart.
Submissions are due on June 21, 2024. The project must be completed within one year of award, said officials.
Submissions will then be judged by a group of artists and stakeholders. The selected artist will work closely with Morris Arts and the Town to create an installation which will become a permanent fixture of Morristown’s landscape. The budget for the project is $170,000.

Redevelopment continues at a brisk pace in Morristown. The latest milestone arrived this week as developers celebrated the "topping out" of the final phase of construction at the M Station project in the downtown area.
A lynchpin of Morristown's ongoing redevelopment plan − which brought a new Valley National Bank headquarters to town last year − M Station consists of two buildings on Morris Street, about a block from the Morristown Green and near the New Jersey Transit station.
Professional services company Deloitte currently occupies the 6-story M Station East, which was completed in July 2022. The accounting firm brought almost 1,500 employees from its previous location in Parsippany. Pharma giant Sanofi, meanwhile, has signed a lease to occupy the seven-story M Station West and move 1,900 employees from its Bridgewater offices when construction is completed in the first quarter of 2025.
On Thursday, M Station builder SJP Properties, in partnership with Scotto Properties, announced the "topping out" of M Station West, referring to the completion of the building's steel infrastructure
"The topping out of M Station West is a landmark moment in redefining the modern workplace across New Jersey,” said Steve Pozycki, CEO of Parsippany-based SJP. “State-of-the-art, vertically integrated buildings are attracting the most influential corporations in the world. Sanofi joins Deloitte and Valley Bank, which celebrated its grand opening at our new Speedwell Avenue property this fall."
Sanofi moved "from a sprawling, multi-building suburban campus," the announcement said. Valley National Bank, meanwhile, traded in its longtime home in Wayne for a building near the Morristown Green that features retail shops on the ground level, with the bank's 660 employees occupying the five floors above.
"These tenants are turning to SJP for property solutions in amenity-rich locations with unrivaled aesthetics and the most advanced infrastructures ever built in the state,” said Pozycki.

When completed, the M Station complex will include a 1,000-car parking structure with EV stations, a landscaped rooftop with wellness areas for yoga and outdoor movement classes and ground-floor retail and dining, according to the developers.
Both M Station buildings are set back 45 feet from Morris Street, creating a 10,000-square-foot landscaped promenade and two public plazas with seating.
The project is a piece of the town's redevelopment master plan. Town officials said that once completed, the area should generate about $1 million in annual tax revenue, about 4½ times more than what the owners currently pay. The new complex replaced the Midtown Shopping Center, displacing businesses such as Burger King, Cluck-U-Chicken and the Morris Pizzeria. Cluck-U-Chicken has since relocated to South Street.
As part of the M Station plan, Morristown also constructed a roundabout to improve traffic flow at the intersection of Morris and Spring streets between M Station and the Morristown Green. Redevelopment area bonds were issued to cover the $3.5 million cost, Morristown Administrator Jillian Barrick said in 2022, when construction began.
"I am thrilled to welcome Sanofi to its new headquarters in Morristown," Morristown Mayor Tim Dougherty said in Wednesday's announcement. "SJP and Scotto Properties have successfully executed our vision of a project, which would invigorate our business district, attract leading-edge companies and reinforce our position as one of the top towns in the country to live and work.”
