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.

BRIDGEWATER – Every morning, Cole Cashion wakes up to the same painful image.
After losing in last year's Tournament of Champions final, the Rumson-Fair Haven star changed his phone background to a photo of Mountain Lakes holding the trophy.
Cashion not only had to live with the loss, but the fact that he was held scoreless in a blowout loss to the Lakers.
"It's definitely extra personal," the Yale-bound attackman said. "Being scoreless isn't something that I'm used to so right away after that game, I remember hitting the turf and hitting the wall and being ready for next year."
Cashion and the Bulldogs got their chance for redemption a year later and didn't miss.
Powered by a balanced offense and a fast start, Rumson-Fair Haven raced past Mountain Lakes, 12-6, in the Group 1 boys lacrosse final at Bridgewater-Raritan.
This time, Cashion took control by scoring a team-high four goals to pace the No. 1 offense in the state. Andy Croddick added a hat trick to give Rumson-Fair Haven its 12th straight win.
"I mean, 21-5 is pretty disrespectful in my book," coach Marc Moreau said. "We didn't need any more motivation than that score from last year."
So much has changed to the Bulldogs lineup and the sport overall since their crushing loss at Ridge High School.
Since then, the Bulldogs dropped down a group and the TOC was disbanded as a way to streamline the spring season. In its place, coaches and members of the lacrosse community rallied together to build and crowd-fund the inaugural Kirst Cup. The new tournament will use the same format and continue the longtime tradition of playing down to one true champion.
The Bulldogs (21-4) will find out their first cup opponent later this weekend when the six state champions are seeded.
Punching a ticket meant a lot to Moreau since he was teammates and college roommates at Rutgers with the late Kyle Kirst.
"The fact that we're able to continue that tradition in his name makes it even more special," Moreau said. "The legacy that he brought to lacrosse lives on."
All the pent-up frustration from last year seemed to be released in the first half for Rumson-Fair Haven.
The Bulldogs jumped all over Mountain Lakes by scoring six straight goals after allowing the first one.
By now, the Rumson-Fair Haven offense hasn't only out-scored the rest of the state, but lapped the field by netting 336 goals in 25 games this season. The next closest can be found on the other end of Monmouth County with Wall at 293 heading into its state final.
"What they've done is going to last for a long time in this program," Moreau said. "Now this is the standard."
Mountain Lakes put on a late surge with Giacomo Bevacqua and Kevin Gillespie (two goals each) helping their team score four in a row to cut the deficit to 10-6. But the Bulldogs defense led by Villanova commit Beau Kemler and Virginia commit Luke Jamin stopped the comeback from getting any further with a clean last five minutes.
"One of our seniors said that we've worked for this game since the day after we lost that TOC final," Cashion said. "We've been working our [butts] off on the field and in the weight room. It truly feels like a dream come true."
Jen Munday Topakas had plenty to celebrate on Friday. Mountain Lakes girls lacrosse defeated Westwood, 15-6, to advance to the NJSIAA Group 1 North final. It was Topakas' 200th career victory, all at her alma mater.It also happened to fall on the coach's 42nd birthday. Her younger sister, University of Southern California women's lacrosse coach Lindsey Munday, was back at home to commemorate the occasion with her family."Two hundred is big.

Jen Munday Topakas had plenty to celebrate on Friday. Mountain Lakes girls lacrosse defeated Westwood, 15-6, to advance to the NJSIAA Group 1 North final. It was Topakas' 200th career victory, all at her alma mater.
It also happened to fall on the coach's 42nd birthday. Her younger sister, University of Southern California women's lacrosse coach Lindsey Munday, was back at home to commemorate the occasion with her family.
"Two hundred is big. It's a big deal," said Munday, who helped launch the USC women's lacrosse team in 2013. "She's been doing this a long time. It's important to say congrats and acknowledge the hard work and the time and the dedication to be part of a program for a long time. She cares so much about the program and about Mountain Lakes and about the kids."
Munday recalled being a ball girl as Topakas played soccer for Mountain Lakes, "always wanting to be like her and learn from her." Topakas also played basketball, and added lacrosse as a Mountain Lakes junior. She planned to play basketball at The College of New Jersey, but wound up becoming the lacrosse goalie there as well. Sharon Pfluger, who is still the TCNJ women's lacrosse coach, helped Topakas learn to love her newest sport.
Topakas began coaching freshman girls basketball at Mountain Lakes while still student teaching, leaving the sport when she met her now-husband, Rockaway River Country Club superintendent John Topakas. A second-grade teacher at Wildwood Elementary School in Mountain Lakes, she became an assistant girls lacrosse coach in 2004, and moved to head coach in 2008.
Topakas hadn't been counting wins or milestones, except perhaps sectional and Group titles. This is the Lakers' second consecutive trip to a sectional final, and they have been to nine of the last 10.
"I like to win, period," said Topakas, whose kids – 7-year-old Carolyn, 6-year-old Lily and 4-year-old John – are regularly on the sideline.
"That's how I've always been. I've always been a competitor. It's the drive to be successful. ... I wanted to compete and win and help kids experience that great feeling."
