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.

Chloe Vasquez wasn't counting down to her 1,000th point as Pequannock played Hanover Park on Tuesday night. But when she stepped to the free-throw line with a minute and 13 seconds left in the game, Vasquez "knew that was it."
The Golden Panthers junior point guard was also convinced she had to take the foul shots just like thousands of others before.
"That was the most pressure I've ever had in my basketball career," Vasquez said. "I've been on the free-throw line many times in close games. But it was a different kind of feeling. I was very nervous, shaking, but also happy. It was a bunch of different emotions. I had to check in mentally, because I had to hit this."
She sank both, giving her 23 points in the game and exactly 1,000 for her career.
Vasquez had seen both the milestone and the number of points she needed on Tuesday as challenges she had to meet. And by reaching her goal, she also helped Pequannock beat NJAC-Liberty foe Hanover Park.
Teammates, friends and family members rushed to the corners of Pequannock's gym to get balloons, flowers and posters they'd stashed away, just in case. Vasquez is the eighth Golden Panthers girl to reach the milestone.
"Once I hit it, I think the whole crowd and my whole team (had) a weight lifted off their shoulders – especially my shoulders," said Vasquez, who made all nine free throws on Tuesday.
"I was like, 'I did it. I can breathe. I can relax now.' ... Getting it as a junior was great. I was very determined to get it this year with this team."
Vasquez has been Pequannock's "most impactful player" since she walked into the gym as a 5-foot-9 freshman guard, according to coach Jennifer Baggott. She runs the Golden Panthers' offense, and is able to score both in the paint and beyond the arc.
The only thing that set Vasquez back was COVID, which restricted Pequannock to only 15 games in her first season. She is averaging 20.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.6 steals this winter.
Flashback!Pequannock girls basketball player Chloe Vasquez voted Athlete of the Week
"When she goes, we go," Baggott said. "I don't think (1,000 points) was even a question. It was like, 'Wow, what are we going to accomplish as a team with her leading us. It was never a question of if, it was when."
Vasquez has been playing basketball since second grade, and she fell in love with the game almost immediately. She was part of coed rec teams, and went to camps with boys. Vasquez has since transitioned to girls travel and then AAU teams, but the initial experiences built both her skills and confidence.
"I was and still am a very competitive person, so playing against boys was a big thing for me back then," Vasquez said. "It made me tougher, more competitive, more determined. Like, 'I can do this. You can't stop me.'"

MADISON, NJ – In a wild, offensive showcase of a game the Madison Dodgers were defeated by the Pequannock Panthers by a score of 12-10.
Playing under the lights at Dodge Field in Madison, it was the visiting Panthers that opened the scoring in this one. In the top of the first a one out single by their catcher John Vanaria put him on for Jack Picardo to drive him home with a two out double to give the Panthers the 1-0 lead. Madison would loudly answer in the bottom half of the inning, however. Dodgers leadoff hitter Carmine Toto was hit with a pitch as the tying run was immediately on base. Toto then advanced to second on a wild pitch and stole third base before Sean Mariani singled him home to tie the game at one. Madison would then load the bases with one out for Tyler Shannon who hit a hard grounder to third that Pequannock infielder Aaron Goldberg fielded and threw home but was not able to get the force play at home making everybody safe and giving the Dodgers a 2-1 lead.
Madison would not be done as with the bases still loaded and two outs Robert Ferris hit a high fly ball into left field Ryan Foley never saw resulting in all three Dodger runners scoring, a sun assisted double for Ferris, and a 5-1 Madison lead. Ferris would come around to score after he stole third and the throw was airmailed into left field by Vanaria resuled in the sixth run for Madison of the first inning. The Dodgers tacked on a seventh when Sam Berk, who advanced to third on the error by Vanaria, scored on a wild pitch. In the bottom of the first the Dodgers sent 10 men to the plate and scored seven runs on just three hits of Pequannock starter Joe Sabbath.

Up 7-1 Madison starter Will Forrester was unable to keep the powerful Pequannock bats at bay. The senior right hander started off the top of the second by allowing the seven, eight, and nine hitters in the Panther lineup reach based without recording via two walks and a hit batsman. With the bases loaded Forrester gave up a bases clearing double to Vanaria and a home run to Sabbath within a three pitch span and in a blink of an eye the Panthers had gotten right back into the game at 7-6 and Forrester’s day was done. Joaquin Izzo came in for Madison to put the fire out and after an inning and a half played Madison held a 7-6 lead.
The two teams traded off scoring in the middle innings. Pequannock scored two in the third to take an 8-7 lead only for Madison to answer back with a run in the bottom half of the frame. The Panthers and Dodgers again traded runs in the fourth inning with each team scoring one during their turn up at bat.
With the score knotted up at nine Pequannock was able to be the team that broke the deadlock in the top of the fifth inning. Tommy Lyon, who came off the bench earlier in the game for Pequannock, knocked a bases loaded single into right field plating two and giving the Panthers a 11-9 lead. Pequannock would add one more run on a fielder’s choice RBI by Zach Laubach making in 12-9. Madison would try to rally late in the game and got a run back in the bottom of the sixth. Kyle Piechnik singled home Toto to give the Dodgers a glimpse of hope but by in large Madison was unable to muster much of anything offensively against Pequannock reliver Luke Laubach who pitched the final three innings of the game giving up just one run and striking out six.
Control was a major issue Wednesday night for Madison pitchers. Will Clifford and Joaquin Izzo combined to walk three and hit three batters in 4.2 innings pitched which contributed to a lot of the Pequannock scoring. Madison head coach Brian Weingart knows his team can be better.
“I think the guys know that if we threw strikes we would have been better off,” Weingart said. “But that’s baseball so you try to fight back on the offensive end.”
Madison did their best to try and do just that not only in this game but through their first eight games of the season the Dodgers have scored double digit runs in five of them and up until tonight were undefeated when doing so. Weingart says that is nice to see the bats clicking early in the season especially against a pitcher like Pequannock’s Joe Sabbath who Madison faced Wednesday night.
“Lets not take anything away from Sabbath, you are talking about a guy who is one of the best in Morris County. When you put up those kind of runs on him you want to throw more strikes. At the end of the day that is a very good baseball team, I tip my hat off to them and the kids know where they fell short.”
Wednesday night’s loss ended a six game winning streak for the Dodgers. After losing to Mountain Lakes in the season opener on April 4th Madison had reeled off six straight victories in the more than two weeks since outscoring their opponents 71-9 in the process. The schedule does not get any easier for the Dodgers but Weingart is confident his team will be able to quickly rebound and get back to their winning ways.
“We got a tough stretch,” the Madison head coach stated. “We got Hanover Park tomorrow, Mountain Lakes on Friday…our big focus is you cannot dwell on anything that already happened. They are a good baseball team, they know that. We come back out tomorrow and give it hell.”

PEQUANNOCK, NJ – Construction has begun on the long-awaited New York Susquehanna & Western (NYS&W) Railway Bicycle and Pedestrian Shared Use Path, a 4.8 mile-trail project spearheaded by Morris County to repurpose an abandoned stretch of railroad for a non-motorized recreational path from Pequannock Township to Wayne.
Brush clearing and preliminary work on lifting old rails began last week on the $20 million, federally funded project which was initiated by the Morris County Board of County Commissioners to transform an old railroad bed into a recreational trail linking Morris and Passaic counties. The path of the project begins at River Drive in Pequannock near Route 23, connecting with the township’s Aquatic Park, and runs southward to Mountainview Boulevard near NJ Transit’s Mountain View rail station in Wayne.
Work is anticipated to be completed in 2024, and the project will eventually tie into Passaic County’s Morris Canal Greenway. As milestones are reached during the project, periodic updates will be announced.

“This project has been eagerly anticipated by many people in the region, particularly in both Morris and Passaic counties, and we’re pleased that work is underway,” said Director Tayfun Selen of the Morris County Board of County Commissioners. “This will provide another unique recreational opportunity for our residents, one that connects different greenways while providing bicyclists and hikers easy access to downtown amenities that are a short distance from this path.”
The path has long been envisioned as a walking and biking route that will connect residents, commuters and visitors with parks, schools, libraries, businesses and transit facilities. The Morris County Office of Engineering and Transportation is overseeing the project and the Morris County Park Commission eventually will manage the 10-foot wide trail, which is similar in concept to the popular Traction Line in Morris County. That path runs from Morristown to Madison, and is heavily used by walkers, joggers and bicyclists.
The NYS&W Railway Bicycle and Pedestrian Path will be asphalt covered, and will be the first of its kind near the Route 23 corridor of Morris and Passaic counties.
The idea for the bike path was conceived more than two decades ago by Pete Standish, a Pequannock resident and avid cyclist.
Trains have not run for more than a decade on the tracks being lifted up in the coming days. The stretch had once been a commuter line and was later used as NYS&W’s Pompton Industrial Spur, serving freight customers along the path.
Parts of the southern section of the path, which will stretch south of Ryerson Road to Mountain View in Wayne, will be elevated through wetlands. The path will be separated from automobile traffic, although there will be path crossings on streets along the corridor.
