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.

ROXBURY, NJ – About 10 area residents took a break from COVID-19 cabin fever on Sunday by hopping in their cars and slowly driving together through Mount Arlington and Roxbury in what they unofficially called a “Drive for Hope.”
Horns were honked. Loud music was played through open windows. Some cheer was delivered to neighborhoods that seemed to need it, said Jimmy Pelusio, one of the organizers.
“We just wanted to do something positive for the community,” he said.

The friends met at Mount Arlington Public School at about 2 p.m. and embarked on a leisurely tour that lasted past 5 p.m., Pelusio said. Based on the reactions from people along the way, the Drive for Hope was worthwhile, he said.
“The support we got was incredible,” Pelusio said. “There were some people outside already. Some were out walking. People came out when they heard us come through”
Pelusio, who rumbled along in his 1992 Camaro, said some people approached – staying at least six feet away – to express thanks. “People were saying, ‘You made my day,’” he said. “There was so much positive. I’m telling you; it was a really great feeling.”

“Alex is a sophomore member of our band program,” said Conrad. “He is involved in all aspects, including our marching bands, jazz program, chamber music/solo recitals as well as our curricular band program.”
Conrad described Fullam as being “incredibly hard-working, talented and kind,” and noted Fullam recently earned a spot as a trombonist in both the North Jersey Region 1 Wind Ensemble and the NJ All State Wind Ensemble/All State orchestra (where he placed third in the state).
“Alex leads by example, is always willing to help and sets incredibly high standards for himself in all his musical as well as non-musical endeavors,” said the band director. “We are lucky to have him as a member of our band program.”
Biase was nominated by Mount Arlington School music instructor Michael Aberback.
“Philip Biase is an outstanding band member,” said Aberback. “He has been a dedicated percussionist in my band program for the past five years. He currently plays in our school Concert Band and Percussion Ensemble.”
Aberback said Biase “attends before-school morning rehearsals three times a week. He is never late for rehearsal, has not had a single unexcused absence this year and he always arrives prepared and ready to play.”
The teacher also said Biase recently participated in the school talent show, performing an original drum set solo.
“Philip is a well-rounded percussionist,” said Aberback in nominating Biase for the honor. “He has made great progress in both his mallet playing and drumming over the last several years. Philip is hard-working, good-natured and very responsible. He is a pleasure to work with.”

ROXBURY, NJ – Construction is about to begin on the long-proposed Howard Boulevard/Route 80 interchange improvement project and that means lane closures on the highway, starting tonight.
The state Department of Transportation today said Route 80 is scheduled to have lane closures in both directions tonight (Nov. 17) on the bridges over Howard Boulevard in Mount Arlington on the Roxbury border. Starting at 9 p.m. and continuing through 10 a.m. Nov. 18, the left and center lanes on Route 80 eastbound and westbound are scheduled to be closed over the boulevard, said the DOT.
“The closures are necessary to implement a traffic shift and create a median work zone,” the state explained. “A temporary bridge will be constructed between the existing eastbound and westbound bridges to maintain three lanes of traffic in each direction throughout construction.”

It said that, by Saturday morning, there will be three lanes in each direction with traffic shifted to the right. At least one lane will be maintained overnight, the DOT said.
The federally funded project, initially estimated to cost $24 million, in 2017, but now described as a $65.4 million endeavor, will replace the existing bridges carrying Route 80 over Howard Boulevard.
But the bridges will not be replaced with similarly sized spans. They will be higher and bigger to enable widening the boulevard, according to the DOT.
“Improvements will include raising the vertical clearance of each bridge, widening the shoulders, lengthening acceleration and deceleration lanes on I-80, and widening the ramps to and from Howard Boulevard,” it said. “The Howard Boulevard intersection will be reconfigured to improve operational performance.”
Additionally, the interchange will get upgraded traffic signals and lighting and ADA-compliant sidewalks and crosswalks, according to the state. “Sidewalks will be extended to the Mount Arlington Train Station for improved pedestrian and bicycle safety and mobility.”
Originally scheduled to be done by 2025, the project is now expected to be complete in summer 2027, the DOT said.
“The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors,” it noted. “Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information website www.511nj.org for construction updates and real-time travel information.”

MOUNT ARLINGTON, N.J. (AP) — This week’s winter storm appears to have broken a 122-year-old record for the most snow in a New Jersey community from one storm.
Mount Arlington, in the northern part of the state, got 35.5 inches (90 centimeters) of snow in the storm, which lasted about three days, the National Weather Service noted Tuesday in a preliminary report. It could take months to confirm the total and the new record, though.
The snowfall report came from a trained weather observer, and officials note there’s no reason to doubt its veracity. If confirmed, it would top the record of 34 inches (86 centimeters) that fell during a blizzard Feb. 11-Feb. 14 in Cape May County in southern New Jersey in 1899.
Mount Arlington, in Morris County, is about 43 miles (69 kilometers) west of New York City.

ROXBURY, NJ – Engineering consultants have proposed creating a jug-handle on Howard Boulevard in Mount Arlington, near the Roxbury border, to improve driving safety in the area of the QuickChek.
The proposal, by Trenton-based consultants Johnson Mirmiran & Thompson, would “accommodate traffic in and out of merchant operations along the roadway” including the QuikChek, according to officials.
Drivers headed north on Howard Boulevard would be banned from turning left into the QuickChek. They would be directed to the proposed jug-handle U-turn at the Seasons Drive intersection.

The idea is mentioned in a “Virtual Public Information Center,” that opened today for public inspection. The goal of the site is “to unveil and allow public input into the latest phase of an ongoing Howard Boulevard Traffic Safety Improvement Study,” said a statement from the Morris County Freeholders and state Sen. Anthony Bucco.
They said the online public information site will remain open until Dec. 18.
Johnson Mirmiran & Thompson was hired by the county last year to study the problematic stretch of Howard Boulevard and give preliminary recommendations to improve it and gather public input.
The firm focused on the section of the county-owned road between Seasons Drive to the Route 80 eastbound ramp and the NJ Transit station driveway near the Roxbury border.
“The presentation includes various maps and story-boards that outline proposals to restrict some turning options for motorists along the northbound lanes of Howard Boulevard and plans to redirect motorists to a jug-handle turn to accommodate traffic in and out of merchant operations along the roadway,” noted the statement from the freeholders and Bucco.
It noted that three public meetings were proposed in January 2019. The first took place in September of that year, in Mount Arlington.
The new virtual meeting is serving as the second session. “Ultimately, a preferred plan will be developed and presented at a third meeting,” said the statement.
The county’s work would be in addition to a major upgrade being proposed by the state Department of Transportation (DOT), which owns and maintains the three Howard Boulevard traffic signals in the area as well as the Route 80 bridge above the county road.
The DOT plan includes replacing the Route 80 overpass, improving the traffic signals and the Route 80 on- and off-ramps. “The engineering phase of the DOT plan continues, and the earliest proposed date for issuing a construction contract award is in 2022,” noted the freeholders and Bucco.
They said Mirmiran & Thompson collected data, including an analysis of accident history, travel patterns, weekday and weekend traffic counts and speed limit patterns. “The firm also made first-hand observations of driving patterns and motorists’ behavior, and was required to recommend a series of conceptual and viable short- and long-term safety enhancements,” said the statement.
