Sciatica Treatment in Middletown, NJ Relief Without Surgery, Starting Today

It probably started in your lower back. Weeks ago, maybe months ago - possibly from lifting something the wrong way, possibly after a long drive, possibly from no obvious trigger at all. You iced it, took some ibuprofen, waited it out. The back pain got better.

And then the pain showed up somewhere new.

Shooting down your glute. Into your hamstring. Burning through your calf. Sometimes all the way to your foot. It flares when you sit at your desk for more than fifteen minutes. It wakes you up when you roll over at night. Bending to put on your shoes has become a genuine ordeal.

That's sciatica. And if you're dealing with it right now, you already know two things: it's miserable, and it doesn't resolve on its own the way regular back pain does.

At NJ Sports Spine and Wellness in Middletown, NJ, sciatica is one of the most common reasons patients walk through our door. It's also one of the conditions we're best positioned to treat. Our combination of DRX9000 spinal decompression, chiropractic care, physical therapy, and advanced therapeutic modalities - all under one roof - gives us a wider set of tools than most practices have. For the overwhelming majority of patients, we can resolve sciatica without surgery, without injections, and without long-term pain medication.

Let's talk about what's actually causing your pain and what we can do about it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Patients Choose NJ Sports Spine and Wellness for Sciatica

What Is Sciatica?

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in your body. It starts as a bundle of five nerve roots in your lower spine, exits through small openings between the vertebrae, merges in your pelvis, and runs down the back of each leg all the way to your foot. When any of those nerve roots - or the sciatic nerve itself further down - gets compressed, irritated, or inflamed, the signal it carries gets disrupted. The result is the very specific pattern of symptoms we call sciatica: pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness that radiates from the lower back into the buttock and down the leg.

Sciatica is a symptom, not a diagnosis. The real question is: what's compressing or irritating the nerve in the first place? Because the answer determines what actually works to fix it.

REQUEST APPOINTMENT

The Different Types of Sciatica We Treat

One of the reasons sciatica doesn't respond to generic treatment is that "sciatica" covers several very different underlying problems.

Herniated or bulging disc.

The most common cause. When the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes out against the fibrous outer layer - or breaks through it entirely - it can press directly against a nerve root. That compression, combined with the chemical irritation from the disc material itself, creates classic shooting leg pain.

Spinal stenosis.

A narrowing of the spinal canal or the small openings where nerves exit the spine. Common in patients over 50. Usually causes leg pain that's worse with standing or walking and eases when you sit down or lean forward on a shopping cart.

Degenerative disc disease.

Age-related wearing of the spinal discs reduces cushioning between vertebrae and can lead to nerve compression over time.

Spondylolisthesis.

One vertebra has shifted forward relative to the one below it, narrowing the space where a nerve exits.

Facet joint arthritis.

The small joints at the back of the spine become inflamed or develop bone spurs that encroach on nearby nerves.

Piriformis syndrome.

The sciatic nerve passes under (and in some people, through) the piriformis muscle deep in the buttock. When that muscle is tight, spasming, or inflamed, it can compress the nerve - creating sciatica symptoms that have nothing to do with your spine. This one gets missed a lot, and the treatment is completely different from disc-related sciatica.

Pregnancy-related sciatica.

Weight distribution changes and hormonal ligament laxity during pregnancy can put new pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Our Middletown, NJ team evaluates for all of these, because treating a disc herniation like it's piriformis syndrome (or vice versa) is how patients end up stuck in treatment that isn't working.

Sciatica Symptoms We See Every Day

Sciatica has a signature pattern, but it shows up differently in different patients. Common symptoms:

Shooting pain down one leg from the lower back or buttock
Pain that radiates from your back into your hip, thigh, calf, or foot
Sharp pain in the buttock that worsens with sitting
Burning or electric-shock sensations down the leg
Numbness or tingling in the leg, foot, or specific toes

Weakness in the leg, foot, or ankle - difficulty lifting your toes or pushing off
Pain that's worse with sitting than with standing or walking
Pain when bending forward, sneezing, coughing, or straining
Difficulty getting comfortable in any position at night
"Foot drop" - catching your toe when walking
Pain that started in your back and migrated down the leg as back pain faded

If your symptoms appear on both sides at once, or you're experiencing loss of bladder or bowel control, saddle-area numbness, or rapidly progressing leg weakness - that's a red flag. Those symptoms can indicate cauda equina syndrome or another urgent spinal issue, and you should go to an emergency room, not a clinic.

Why Generic Sciatica Treatment Often Doesn't Work

A lot of patients have been through a standard treatment cycle before they walk into our Middletown, NJ office. Rest, anti-inflammatories, maybe a round of muscle relaxants. Physical therapy somewhere that treated the back generically. Maybe an epidural injection that helped for a few weeks, then wore off. By the time they get to us, they're frustrated, skeptical, and often being nudged toward surgery.

Here's why that cycle is common. Epidural steroid injections reduce inflammation around the nerve, which can provide real short-term relief - but they don't address the mechanical compression that's causing the inflammation in the first place. When the steroid wears off, the compression is still there. Generic physical therapy helps some patients and frustrates others because it doesn't distinguish between a compressed disc that needs decompression and a piriformis issue that needs completely different work.

Effective sciatica treatment has to do two things: identify the specific source of the nerve compression and address it mechanically. That's what our approach is built around.

REQUEST APPOINTMENT

Our Approach to Sciatica Treatment

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

DRX9000 Spinal Decompression

For disc-related sciatica, the DRX9000 is one of the most effective non-surgical tools available. It uses precisely calibrated, computer-controlled traction to gently separate the vertebrae, creating negative pressure within the disc. That negative pressure can help retract disc material away from compressed nerve roots and improve circulation to the disc itself, supporting healing. The treatment is comfortable, drug-free, and has strong clinical evidence behind it for herniated discs and lumbar radiculopathy - which is why it's our primary treatment for most disc-related sciatica cases.

Physical Therapy

Not generic back exercises. Our physical therapists identify whether your sciatica responds better to flexion-based or extension-based movement (disc patients and stenosis patients often need opposite approaches), rebuild core and hip stability, and retrain the movement patterns that put recurring strain on your lower back. This is the piece that keeps sciatica from returning after the acute symptoms resolve.

Chiropractic Care.

Specific, targeted spinal adjustments restore proper motion to segments that have become restricted and are contributing to nerve compression. For many patients, chiropractic is the piece that relieves acute symptoms fastest.

LiteCure Class IV Laser Therapy

Therapeutic laser reduces inflammation around irritated nerve roots and soft tissue, supports cellular repair, and can significantly reduce pain. We often use it alongside spinal decompression to accelerate relief during the early phase of treatment.

Manual Therapy and Soft-Tissue Work

For piriformis-related sciatica, and for the muscular tightness that almost always accompanies disc issues, hands-on work - including instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization and cupping - releases restrictions that are contributing to compression.

Acupuncture

A meaningful evidence base exists for acupuncture in sciatica, particularly for patients who haven't responded well to other approaches or who are looking for additional pain modulation alongside their primary treatment.

Pain Management Options

When needed, our pain management team can provide targeted interventions to help control acute pain while the mechanical treatment takes effect. The goal is always to get you moving out of the pain cycle, not to build dependence on medications or injections.

Activity and Ergonomic Guidance

What you do in the 23 hours a day you're not in our office matters more than the one hour you are. We'll give you specific guidance on posture, work setup, sleep position, and which movements to avoid or embrace - based on your specific type of sciatica.

When Surgery Is Truly the Right Call

For a small subset of patients, surgery genuinely is the right answer. Progressive neurological weakness, cauda equina syndrome, or severe sciatica that hasn't responded to a thorough course of conservative care are legitimate surgical indications. In those cases, we coordinate with spine surgeons who use minimally invasive techniques - smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and lower infection risk than traditional open procedures.

The honest reality: most sciatica patients do not need surgery. Most studies and clinical guidelines now recommend conservative treatment as first-line for disc-related sciatica, with surgery reserved for cases that fail to respond or involve significant neurological compromise. Before any surgical conversation, we want to know that spinal decompression, chiropractic, targeted PT, and laser therapy have all been genuinely attempted.

Why Patients Choose NJ Sports Spine and Wellness for Sciatica

A True Spine-Focused Practice

The word "spine" is in our name. Sciatica and disc-related conditions are a core focus of what we do, not a side service. Our team sees these cases every day and has built a specific, multi-tool approach around them.

DRX9000 Spinal Decompression On-Site

Not every practice has it. The DRX9000 is one of the most evidence-supported non-surgical options for herniated discs and lumbar radiculopathy, and having it in-house means we can start treatment the day you come in.

Same-Day Appointments

Nobody dealing with sciatica wants to be told to wait three weeks for an opening. We offer same-day appointments whenever the schedule allows.

A Full Multidisciplinary Team Under One Roof

Sciatica responds best when multiple approaches work together. Our chiropractors, physical therapists, pain management specialists, acupuncturists, and podiatrist work in the same building, on the same chart, toward the same plan. If your sciatica is disc-related but has a piriformis component on top of it (a very common combination), we can address both at once without sending you to a second practice.

A Treatment Plan With a Finish Line

We track progress, adjust what isn't working, and don't keep you coming back indefinitely. The goal is to get you back to sitting through dinner, sleeping through the night, and doing the things you've been avoiding - then to stop seeing you except for the occasional check-in.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first sciatica evaluation at our Middletown, NJ office is thorough. We'll ask when it started, what makes it better or worse, how it's affecting your daily life, and what you've already tried. Then we'll do a comprehensive physical and neurological exam - testing reflexes, sensation, strength, and range of motion, and running specific orthopedic tests to help identify whether your sciatica is disc-related, stenosis-related, piriformis-related, or something else. If imaging would clarify the picture, we have X-ray on-site.

From there, we explain what we think is going on in plain English and walk you through your treatment options. You'll leave knowing what the plan is, what it involves, and roughly how long it should take to feel real improvement.

What Patients Say About Us

Backpain for Jennifer Ash

★★★★★

I highly recommend NJ Sports Spine And Wellness in Morganville, New Jersey. From the very start I have had an absolutely wonderful experience. Not only is the staff incredible, the facility is new and cleanly. I’d like to tell you about my experience. I had hurt my shoulder lifting. It was an overuse injury. I went to NJ Sports Spine and wellness in tears. I was in so much pain I could not bear it. They brought me in a private room with the head Chiropractor Tony Ambrogio and Elisa, an amazing OT. I told them what was going on, they immediately started treating and working on me. Tony carefully adjusted me and Elisa performed OT with deep tissue massage in the area. They also used a laser that penetrates deeply into the muscle to accelerate healing. I was required to attend physical therapy three times a week for four+ weeks. I will admit, hearing that was not ideal. However, as I continue going, feeling a difference in my pain, and gradually healing, I started to really enjoy it. Not only have they worked on my posture, they have strengthen the muscles around the affected area to relieve the strain and pain. The first week attending, I performed a strength test, about a month and a half later, I repeated the test and have increased my strength in all areas of my upper back and neck area. It has been about two months since I started going, and I can say I am currently pain-free. With the adjustments, the occupational therapy, and the physical therapy, I can say I am healed. Going forward, I am going to continue the exercises and stretches they have shown me to make sure that this never happens again. I have also been able to include certain exercises in my personal workouts that I previously needed to avoid that would have aggravated my neck and upper back. Overall, my experience has been wonderful. Like I said, the staff is absolutely wonderful! Everyone is so nice, caring, and I can see them all go above and beyond for every patient. Even when I was sick with the flu, I received a phone call from my chiropractor Tony and my OT Elisa to check in on me. I can’t think of any other business that cares as much about their patients as NJSSW. Both Tony and Elisa are so easy to talk to, they always make me feel comfortable and well taken care of. On a side note, I have had to bring my three-year-old toddler with me on a few occasions. They were very accommodating, they offered and provided a private room. Elisa even played with my son in between her clients in order for me to perform my exercises without a distraction. The team there goes above and beyond. Even staff that I have not personally worked with greet me by name and assist as needed. The front desk staff is always friendly and very accommodating with booking appointments and rescheduling if need be.

Liam is incredibly knowledgeable about ACL surgery recovery and tailors the sessions to my needs. Everyone here pushes me to improve and always makes sure I’m comfortable every step of the way. Everyone is awesome, but I'm glad I get to work with Tori, Alyssa, Agnes, Kat, and Tavis often. I highly recommend NJSS&W for anyone looking for personalized, thoughtful care!

Occupational Therapy for Joe M

★★★★★

Let's start at the beginning. The parking lot always has spots available, even on the busiest days at the busiest times. The pavement is smooth and the parking spots are clearly marked... As you enter the Matawan location, you are greeted with a finely manicured carpet displaying the facility's logo. To the right are a set of glistening glass double doors that welcome you into the immaculate waiting room. Once inside, you could be lucky enough to encounter Ang, Amanda, or one of the many other ladies that inhabit the area behind the front desk. They will always welcome you with a smile, eagerly print out your receipt, or discuss the song verses that adorn their arms in case they ever forget the words. If you have to wait a few minutes for your treatment, you can treat yourself to reading the biography of many of the employees on the complimentary television screen. Once into the treatment area, you will be instantly whisked away to the exercise area where a host of professionals will guide you through your journey of rehabilitation. No matter who you get, you will be in good hands. Hopefully you’ll be lucky enough to have Liam working the music. His playlist is second to none. Personally, my Occupational Therapists are Katelynn Bissett and Alyssa Bark. Two of the best in my opinion. I can't leave out Lindsey who I see once a week and has been terrific. 3 bulging discs and severe shoulder pain are things of the past thanks to these ladies. Okay, that's all I've got. I'd recommend to family and friends. The End.

Neck pain for Tawana Washington

★★★★★

I was searching for a new doctor for my back problems. I had been receiving epidural injections but wasn't satisfied with my previous provider. One day NJ spine and wellness popped up on my Instagram. I decided to respond, they immediately got back to me and scheduled me to come in within a week. As part of my initial appointment with Dr. Sharon I met with an entire team who reviewed my entire history from head to toe literally. Out of that came a meeting with Avani and the functional medicine department......life changing experience! Avani began taking my health history and listened to what I wanted to obtain health wise and concerns I had with my traditional medical team. That very day she began working on me. My first visit was in April of this year,since then I am down 30 pounds. Weight loss is something I have not been able to do in probably 10 years and had gained weight in the past year(unexplained),I couldn't even get 1 pound off in a year. My traditional medical doctor told me to do a weight loss program...... Avani drew about 8 tubIes of blood which returned about 10 pages of results. From that we found I was allergic to everything under the sun and had all kinds of deficiencies. Just by addressing a few items at a time has led to not only weight loss but more energy,ability to interact with my family more, improved sleep, no headaches just overall feeling better. Functional Medicine has been life changing in so many ways. I started with my back and ended up with a whole new look on life. Thanks the entire team at the Matawan office and a special kudos to Avani and Brianna the functional medicine team.....FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE is the best!!!????????????????????????????????

Backpain for Jack Cascio

★★★★★

Ive been going to Old bridge Spine and wellness for well over 4 years. My first time there was great and but this place keeps getting better and better. Dr Mike and his team are the best so far! I met Dr Mike here in 2015 when I was recovering from a really bad shoulder injury. He was still new to NJSW and he was incredible. Very informative and hard working then. He made sure his patients got the best treatment possible. No wonder he has a crew of his own. I became friendly with him over the years and anytime I reach out and need advice with an injury hes always there to help and fit me right in to his schedule. He even got me into his whisky club lol. His whole team is Amazing and friendly. Everyone there is there to HELP and they all know you by name. Brandon helped me remarkably. Not only did he help with my pain but he also helped me with my strength as well. He was knowledgeable on getting the most out of my exercise and tweaked my form when needed for max results in my recovery. Tony worked on my back and he was awesome. Adjusted me when needed and kept me loose. He even showed me a few valuable stretches for my back that i still use. He was a gentleman and was also always willing to jump in to lend a hand anywhere he was needed. I recommend this place to anyone. 5 stars in my book! It was great 5 years ago and its even better now! Great job guys????

Spine Specialist for Matthew Dube

★★★★★

My first glimpse as to the quality of this facility was my first day when I saw a double amputee walking on their own with the therapist and a trainer enthusiastically cheering them on while keeping staying close enough to assist if needed. I knew this would be a much better experience than any of my previous encounters with physical therapy. They are much more dynamic with their exercises and work with your body's growing capabilities. Dr. Chris and Del (or Deltoid for long) continue to evolve my program whenever they see improvement in my condition and push me to greater heights. Everyone here that I've met, spoke to, and worked with have been overwhelming nice, supportive, and helpful. Wish them the best of luck ????

These people really go above and beyond. I came in here about a year ago with several moderate to severely herniated discs and their team of Doctors and physical therapists got my pain from a 10 back down to a very manageable level where I can get back to doing the things I love. Dr Raquel is the most caring health care professional I've ever encountered and actually takes the time to listen and will fix you right up, where as I went to other chiropractors and would just leave in more pain. Every time I come in here I feel like family, and I always leave feeling better physically and in a great mood because everyone on the staff is so friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the cause and how long it's been going on. Acute disc-related sciatica caught early often responds to spinal decompression, chiropractic, and targeted PT within a few weeks. Chronic cases with long-standing disc involvement typically need a longer treatment arc. Most patients feel meaningful improvement in the first few weeks, even when full resolution takes longer. Your provider will give you a more specific timeline after your evaluation.

No. Most patients describe it as a gentle stretching sensation, and many find it genuinely relaxing. You lie on a specialized, computer-controlled table while it applies precise, calibrated traction. Sessions typically run 20â€“30 minutes, and most patients are comfortable throughout.

Not always. A thorough physical exam and targeted orthopedic testing can identify the cause of most sciatica cases. If imaging is needed - to distinguish between possible causes, rule out a serious issue, or confirm a surgical indication - we'll let you know. We don't order imaging reflexively, because it often doesn't change the treatment plan for conservative care.

In most cases, yes. Current clinical guidelines recommend conservative treatment as the first line for disc-related sciatica, with surgery reserved for cases that don't respond or involve progressive neurological weakness. Many patients who've been told they need surgery find that spinal decompression, chiropractic care, and proper physical therapy resolve their symptoms without it. If you've been told surgery is your only option, a second opinion is almost always worth getting.

A lot of conditions mimic sciatica - hip issues, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, piriformis syndrome, and certain nerve entrapments lower in the leg can all produce similar patterns. Getting the right diagnosis is the first step. If what you thought was sciatica hasn't responded to standard treatment, there's a good chance the original diagnosis was incomplete. We'll work out exactly what's driving your pain before recommending any treatment.

A gym called Iron Revolution plans to open in the former Big Lots store at Town Brook Commons in Middletown, located at 754 Rt. 35.

This is the shopping center where the Middletown Stop & Shop and Kohl’s are located. There's also an Orangetheory and Power Core Studio in that shopping complex.

Iron Fitness started with their first location on Rt. 9 in Howell, and their Middletown location will be their second. Their Middletown gym will be much larger than their existing Howell site, although they have plans to expand their Howell gym.

An employee at the Howell Iron Fitness said they have no set date for when they will open in Middletown, only that they're "hoping to open by the end of the year."

They're aiming to open in Middletown in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to Iron Revolution's Instagram account.

Iron Revolution will open a 28,045-square-foot gym inside the former Big Lots, which has sat empty for almost two years now. Big Lots went bankrupt in 2024, and all their stores closed that year.

Membership at Iron Revolution is $89.99/month if you sign up for a year-long membership, $99.99/month if you pay monthly and they also have $20 daily guest passes and $70 weekly guest passes, according to the Iron Revolution website.

“We are incredibly proud and excited to bring our second Iron Revolution location to Middletown, NJ,” Raymond Fennell, the gym’s owner, told the Real Estate NJ news site. “Iron Revolution of Middletown will be a world-class 28,045-square-foot fitness destination featuring top-of-the-line equipment, an unmatched training environment and premium recovery amenities designed to create an exceptional experience for our members. Our goal is not simply to open another gym, but to have a positive impact on people’s lives and create a facility that our members are proud to be a part of for years to come.”

Middletown: West Nile Virus Prompts Mosquito Control Operation in Port Monmouth and Belford

MIDDLETOWN, NJ – Residents in the Port Monmouth and Belford sections of Middletown should be aware of a mosquito control operation scheduled for the early morning hours of Thursday, Aug. 27, after mosquitoes collected locally tested positive for West Nile virus.

The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners announced that the Monmouth County Office of Mosquito Control will conduct a community-wide adult mosquito control treatment between 4 and 6 a.m. on Aug. 27, weather permitting.

The treatment area includes residential streets east of Wilson Avenue, north of the Henry Hudson Trail and west of Ware Creek.

The operation is part of the county's proactive ongoing mosquito surveillance and response program, which monitors mosquito populations and tests mosquito samples for mosquito-borne viruses. When infected mosquitoes are identified, targeted adult mosquito control operations may be conducted to reduce the number of mosquitoes capable of transmitting disease.

West Nile virus is the most commonly reported mosquito-borne disease in New Jersey. It is primarily maintained in a cycle involving mosquitoes and birds, but infected mosquitoes can transmit the virus to people and other animals when they bite.

The timing of the Middletown treatment is significant because late summer is the period when West Nile virus activity is generally at its highest. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that most West Nile virus infections occur during the summer and fall, with transmission particularly concentrated from July through September.

Importantly, finding West Nile virus in mosquitoes does not mean that everyone in the treatment area has been exposed to the virus or that residents will become ill. Rather, positive mosquito samples provide public health officials with evidence of virus activity in the local mosquito population and help guide mosquito-control decisions.

Most people infected with West Nile virus do not develop symptoms. About one in five infected people develop a febrile illness that can include fever, headache, body aches, joint pain, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea or rash. A much smaller percentage develop serious illness affecting the nervous system.

During Thursday's operation, mosquito-control personnel will apply Duet, a mosquito-control product, using Ultra Low Volume (ULV) sprayers mounted in the bed of a pickup truck.

ULV mosquito control involves dispersing a very small amount of product in fine droplets designed to target adult mosquitoes. The county uses this type of treatment as one component of an integrated mosquito-management program.

The county's mosquito-control program also addresses mosquitoes before they become adults. Its website notes that inspectors can identify mosquito breeding areas and that the county treats certain standing-water habitats with larvicides. For example, the county treats some stormwater catch basins with Bti, a larvicide designed to target mosquito larvae.

Residents can also request an inspection of their property. County mosquito-control inspectors can look for standing water and mosquito larvae and, when appropriate, treat the habitat or work with residents to eliminate the source.

Residents who would like to request an inspection can contact the Monmouth County Office of Mosquito Control at 732-542-3630.

The county's mosquito-control schedule and maps page provides information about scheduled operations, treatment areas and mosquito-control resources.

While countywide mosquito-control operations are an important part of the response, health officials emphasize that residents can play a significant role by eliminating places where mosquitoes can reproduce.

Mosquitoes can lay eggs in relatively small amounts of standing water. Residents should regularly check their properties for containers or objects capable of holding water, including buckets, flowerpot saucers, children's toys, clogged gutters, discarded containers and other outdoor items.

New Jersey health and environmental officials have urged residents to eliminate standing water around their homes and seek assistance from their county mosquito-control agency when mosquito problems persist.

“Monmouth County is taking proactive measures to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses by continuously monitoring mosquito populations and using targeted treatments,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “Residents can also request an inspection of their property to identify standing water where mosquito larvae may be present. If larvae are found, our inspectors will treat the water or work to eliminate the source. To schedule an inspection, please call the Office of Mosquito Control at 732-542-3630.”

Commissioner Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the Department of Health and Human Services, noted that West Nile virus activity typically increases from mid-summer into early fall.

“West Nile virus activity typically peaks from mid-July through September,” Kiley said. “Residents can protect themselves by using insect repellent and wearing long-sleeve shirts and long pants when outdoors. They can also help prevent mosquitoes from breeding by regularly emptying containers and other items on their property that collect standing water.”

The CDC recommends using an EPA-registered insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants when outdoors, and taking steps to keep mosquitoes outside by using intact screens on windows and doors or air conditioning. Limiting exposure during periods when mosquitoes are most active can also reduce the chance of being bitten.

Residents should also remember that mosquito activity does not end when the county's treatment operation is completed. The county describes mid-August and September as peak periods for West Nile virus activity and continues mosquito surveillance throughout the season.

New Jersey's Department of Health maintains statewide surveillance of mosquito-borne diseases and mosquito testing, with weekly 2026 reports tracking West Nile virus and other vector-borne pathogens detected throughout the state.

For residents of Port Monmouth and Belford, Thursday morning's operation is a targeted public-health response to confirmed West Nile virus activity in locally collected mosquitoes. Residents can further reduce risk by eliminating standing water, using appropriate insect repellent and taking precautions when spending time outdoors during mosquito season.
