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 â find your new lease on life at Denville Medical and Sports Rehabilitation Center.

UNION, NJ – The Patriot’s Path Council Boy Scouts of America honored six individuals at their 2024 Good Scout Awards Dinner on Wednesday evening at Galloping Hill Caterers, including a Vauxhall woman and the head of Union's Senior Center.
Honored was Ronald Bubnowski, a native of Union and a former Burnet Middle School teacher, who is now a principal at Harding Elementary School in Kenilworth. Other honorees were Sal Dovi and Russell Triolo of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Union County, and Rocio Escalante, VP Branch Manager of Union County Savings Bank.
Ron has been dedicated to Scouting most of his life. He began with Pack/Troop 65 in Union where he developed a huge passion for Scouting and the outdoors. As an active troop member, Ron achieved the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout in 1994. His enthusiasm and devotion for Scouting continued after high school with significant experiences working at Winnebago Scout Reservation in 1997 and Philmont Scout Ranch in 1998 and 1999.

With a strong passion for education and inspiring youth, Ron taught at Burnet Middle School in Union for 11 years while taking classes after school hours to receive another master’s degree in administrative and supervision at Saint Peter's College. "Teaching is an honorable profession. It takes a certain and special type of person to be a teacher."
After receiving this particular degree, Ron wanted to get a job close to home and was familiar with Kenilworth. He started as the Brearley Middle High School Assistant principal in July 2009 and stayed at this position until 2012. He then moved on to Harding’s Assistant Principal in 2012 and continued until 2021. In May 2021 Ron was unanimously appointed as the Harding Elementary School Principal.
Ron returned to Scouting when his eldest son was of age, taking on positions which included Den Leader and Committee Chair Pack 150 in Bernardsville. He now serves as the Scoutmaster of Troop 150 in Bernardsville, where he recently celebrated a graduation class of 10 Eagle Scouts. Ron has led his troop on great adventures to Florida Sea Base, Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia and Philmont Scout Ranch three times.
Giving back to the Scouts gives Ron great joy, and he firmly believes in the transformative power of Scouting. He is grateful to share his experiences, hoping to inspire and guide his Scouts.
Congratulations Mr. Bubnowski!

CHATHAM, NJ – Chatham Board of Education President Ann Ciccarelli gave an update on the potential addition of Harding Township students to CHS at Monday night's regular BOE meeting.
Ciccarelli said that nothing had been decided, but gave a presentation on numbers that would benefit both communities if there is an agreement made for the start of the 2026-2027 school year. Harding's contract with Madison for its high school students runs through June 2025.
“I think we all agree that it's not sustainable to just keep raising taxes, raising taxes, raising taxes, raising taxes," board member Jill Critchley Weber said during the discussion on a Harding deal. “At some point, something has to give … this is kind of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to offset our reliance on property taxes. This is one of the only ways to increase revenue at this rate … I don't know if the negativity outweighs $1.8 million.”

Board member Bradley Smith, chair of the finance committee, noted that the revenue would equal the two percent tax levy of $1.48 million when calculated from last year's budget.
“It would be irresponsible for us even not to consider this,” Smith said. “So that's what we're doing, we're considering it. Nothing is signed. We're not going to make a bad contract.”
Update on Possible Starting Time Changes
Board member Susan Ross gave an update on possible start time changes for the Chatham Middle School and other realigned schools for the 2026-2027 school year. She said the possible time changes for CMS would be between 8:30 and 9 a.m and the lower grades from 7:40 to 8 a.m. Chatham Superintendent Michael LaSusa said the decision to change times for next year would be made by the end of January.
