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 – A house fire early Saturday morning, caused by a surge from a downed power line, forced a Ledgewood family to evacuate and damaged several other houses, said Roxbury Fire Official Mike Pellek.
He said the incident began at about 2:26 a.m. when a power line came down on Emmans Road during breezy and rainy weather. The line fell onto secondary power lines, sending a high-voltage charge into four houses near the Mount Olive line.
The blast of electricity set one of the homes on fire, prompting a response by all three Roxbury fire companies as well as by firefighters from Netcong, Flanders and Chester, Pellek said.

The home that caught fire sustained heavy damage. “The house is gutted,” Pellek said, noting the family was forced to leave and is now staying at the home of another family in Roxbury.
Pellek said the displaced family was given some money by Roxbury PBA 311 and by the 403 Reasons to Run, a non-profit founded by his wife, Jacqueline Pellek.
“The husband heard the explosion outside when the power lines were coming down,” Pellek said. “He then heard a bang in his basement. He went down and saw the electrical panel on fire. He tried to use a fire extinguisher to slow the fire, then came back up and said, ‘We gotta get out of here.’”
Pellek said the man “literally didn’t have shoes on his feet” when firefighters arrived. “But he got his wife, kids and two dogs out,” he said.
Pellek said the power surge’s damage to the wiring of the other houses was significant, especially to the one across the road. “How that guy’s house didn’t burn down to me was unbelievable,” Pellek said.
Due to the damage sustained by the other houses, the occupants – while allowed to stay in their homes – cannot use electricity until inspections and repairs are made, said the fire official.

ROXBURY, NJ – Saturday saw the Roxbury Environmental Commission once again sponsor and take part in Raritan Headwaters' 33rd Annual Stream Clean-up, an event that usually makes Roxbury Councilman Fred Hall both proud of the volunteers and disgusted with the level of garbage they remove.
But this year was a little different, said Hall. The longtime council member was surprised the cleanup team found the area less fouled than usual.
“The good news is that, for the first time in a very long time – although we did get quite a bit out of there – it wasn’t to the extent it’s been for the last few years,” Hall said. “So, it was a very positive thing.”

The event was well attended, with about 30 volunteers including Boy Scout Troop 156 and team members from New Jersey corporations, Hall said. "Ramsey Outdoor assisted once again in providing canoes so that litter could be removed from the water side of the banks."
In announcing the event at the April 11 meeting of the Roxbury Mayor and Council, Hall didn’t sound optimistic about what the cleanup crews were going to encounter. “It’s a mess every year and I just don’t get it,” he said at the meeting. “Every year we go in there and every year we probably get off 30 or 40 bags as well as tires and other debris.”
This year yielded “quite a bit of bottles and cans and debris,” Hall said in an interview on Sunday. “But it was not to the levels we have seen in the past … This was the first time - in the many, many years I’ve been doing this - that it did seem better.”
In particular, the crews encountered fewer discarded plastic bags, Hall said.
'People Just Drop Stuff'
There was much talk about litterbugs at the council meeting, a session that saw the council praise Roxbury Coordinator Kellie Ann Keyes for winning the NJ Clean Communities Municipal Coordinator Award at the 2023 Sustainability in Motion Conference in Atlantic City. As she does yearly, Keyes is spearheading a town wide litter cleanup effort on April 22.
At that meeting, Roxbury Councilman Mark Crowley lamented the number of discarded water bottles he encounters during his frequent hikes. Crowley expressed even stronger disdain for people who leave behind bagged dog waste.
“One thing I just can’t understand is … there are people on the trails that pick up after their dog, put it in a bag and then leave the bag,” Crowley said. “I gotta tell you that, in three miles, I can count 15 to 20 bags every week. I don’t understand the thinking of doing that. Really, it would be better to not use a bag.”
Crowley also lambasted people who leave “trash all over the place” at sites where the town provides garbage cans, such as Black River Park. “People just drop the stuff,” he said. “I don’t know if they park there, eat their lunch and decide they don’t need to take it out with them.”
Hall agreed. “I can’t, for the life of me, understand how we have that level of trash within the township. "Councilman Crowley’s 100 percent correct.”
Nevertheless, Hall was glad Saturday's cleanup didn't leave him as upset as usual. He praised Roxbury Environmental Commission Chairperson Jackie Vitiello, the coordinator of the event.
"Jackie has done a tremendous job with this annual cleanup for many years," he commented. "She is always teaming with other organizations to address environmental concerns. Roxbury is fortunate to have her."

ROXBURY, NJ – The Roxbury Jr. Gaels Cheer team fundraising effort got a boost recently when members of the Roxbury Rotary Club – after watching several of the young ladies perform – approved a donation.
Club members attending the organization’s April 27 gathering at Pub 199 voted to give the team $250. Rotarian Steve Alford said it’s important to support the Jr. Gaels sports teams.
“The high school teams that are good have good feeder programs,” Alford told his Rotary colleagues. “They always have new kids coming up, when they’re good. And when they are bad, it’s when their feeder programs fall apart.”

The Rotarians heard from Roxbury Jr. Gaels Cheer Team Director of Operations Jill Mangiro and Vice President Michelle Amaducci.
“We raise money every year for the program, but this year’s a little different,” Mangiro said. “We’re raising even more money. We’re really trying to elevate the program to the next level ... We have talented girls that are here for our program and passionate about it, so we want to provide them with what they need to look their best.”
Mangiro and Amaducci said the Jr. Gaels need better uniforms, music and choreography. The women said the teams need about $5,000 more to reach their goal for this year. For information about making a donation, email [email protected].
