Traditional acupuncture is based on the belief that the body is controlled by a flow of energy, referred to as qi, and pronounced "chee." According to ancient texts, qi travels through pathways in your body called meridians. Acupuncturists believe that interruptions with energy flow in these meridians are responsible for modern ailments.
Acupuncture improves your body's functions and helps boost its self-healing processes through anatomic site stimulation - usually called acupuncture points. To stimulate acupuncture points, professionals typically insert fine, sterile needles you're your skin. Most patients feel little-to-no discomfort as the needles are applied. Typically, needles are left in the skin anywhere from five to 30 minutes. After their session, patients often report an incredible feeling of relaxation.
While some practitioners still adhere to traditional acupuncture philosophies, modern acupuncturists take an integrative approach. Today, professional acupuncturists use the therapy to stimulate the body's natural healing and pain-fighting processes. When coupled with personalized chiropractic care and physical therapy, patients can find real relief from painful physical conditions.
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.
Professional acupuncture treatments can be incredibly helpful for patients suffering from a wide range of disorders. When paired with personalized chiropractic care and other medical treatments, acupuncture is even more effective.
With a systematic treatment plan, patients can find help for painful symptoms like:
Professionals practicing acupuncture in Florham Park, NJ, use several techniques to achieve overall patient wellbeing, from Cupping and Gua Sha to Needling and Facials.
Made popular by Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, most acupuncturists describe cupping as giving an inverse massage. Rather than using pressure to release tight muscles, acupuncture cups create a suction effect. The suction pulls on muscles and fascia to relieve tension and improve blood flow. Like a massage, cupping is very relaxing for patients. Most people describe it as enjoyable, although the suction cup markings may look painful to friends and family.
Acupuncture cups are made using various materials, including glass and plastic. Cupping applications also vary - some clinics go the traditional route with cotton balls, rubbing alcohol, and fire. Other applications include manual placement with silicone suction points. Usually, patients receive one of two cupping styles. The first uses stationary cups, which remain for about 10 minutes. The second uses moving cups, supplemented with massage oil to let the cups glide over painful areas.
Also called "dry needling," chiropractors and acupuncturists often use this technique to reduce trigger points within soft tissues and muscles. In this application, acupuncturists use a sterile needle and insert it into the trigger point, which fosters a feeling of "release" that helps reduce muscle tension and pain while boosting mobility.
Trigger points are hypersensitive, irritable skeletal muscle areas formed in rigid bands of muscle fiber. Trigger points lead to neuromuscular dysfunction and manifest in painful symptoms, increased stress, and lower overall functionality. During an acupuncture session, these needles are applied to trigger points, which cause a twitch, essentially releasing and restoring proper muscle function.
Gua Sha is the practice of using tools to scrape the skin and apply pressure to painful areas of the face and body. A Gua Sha is a flat, hard tool, usually made of stone. Recently, Gua Sha has taken the skincare world by storm, but the technique has been providing relief for centuries. It is one of the oldest forms of Chinese medicine used to boost blood circulation and energy flow.
In traditional Chinese, Gua means to press or stroke, while Sha refers to redness. Gua Sha usually causes small red spots or bruises to form, which are also called microtrauma spots. When using Gua Sha on microtrauma areas, your body elicits a response that can help break up tough scar tissue. When paired with professional chiropractic care, Gua Sha can be quite effective, even for moderate injuries.

Construction is nearing completion on 173 McGuinness Boulevard, an eight-story residential building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Designed by Issac & Stern Architects and developed by Guy Peleg under the Artlife 173-175 McGuinness LLC, the 80-foot-tall structure will span 27,509 square feet and yield 24 rental units with an average scope of 836 square feet, as well as a 35-foot-long rear yard. B.O.S.S. Associates Inc. is the general contractor for the project, which is situated on a 4,375-square-foot interior lot between Meserole Avenue and Calyer Street.
Recent photos show the main eastern elevation facing McGuinness Boulevard clad in red brick surrounding a grid of floor-to-ceiling windows with dark mullions. Stepped setbacks above the fifth floor are lined with glass railings for terraces, and the volume behind them is finished in flat gray paneling. The ground floor remains unfinished behind sidewalk scaffolding.

The southern lot line wall is mostly blank with the exception of four narrow windows on the top floors toward the rear of the structure. Façade work is ongoing on the opposite corner of this wall, where a gap remains following the recent demolition of the abutting low-rise neighbor to make way for another residential development at 161 Meserole Avenue.
The below photo shows the roof parapet lined with a metal railing and a stack of balconies protruding from the western profile.
The closest subway from the property is the G train at the Greenpoint Avenue station.
173 McGuinness Bouelvard’s original completion date was slated for last winter, though YIMBY now expects work to finish up near the end of this year.

David Cleghorn of HELP Development Corp. is listed as the owner behind the applications, which also owns HELP Genesis Homes in the neighborhood.
The proposed 62-foot-tall development will yield 58,422 square feet designated for residential space. The building will have 51 residences. The masonry-based structure will also have a cellar but no accessory parking.
Curtis and Ginsberg Architects is listed as the architect of record.
Demolition permits will likely not be needed as the lot is vacant. An estimated completion date has not been announced.

The William Kaufman Organization and Sage have completed a $54 million renovation project at 767 Third Avenue, a high-rise office tower in Midtown East, Manhattan. The design team included FXCollaborative, the same architect that completed the tower in 1981, alongside Fogarty Finger.
The goal of the project was to enrich the tenant experience through the provision of hospitality-inspired services and amenity spaces, and sleek interiors suited for modern enterprise tenants.
Beginning on the ground floor, the building’s lobby now features a curving glass curtain wall and strategically placed columns that facilitate the flow of natural light into the space. The expression of curves as a design motif and inspiration is also observed in the circular reception and security desk in the center of the space, the rounded columns, and smooth corners at each elevator bay.
To further enhance the space, Sage has curated a music playlist that will change with the seasons, and a crafted scent with notes of white tea, citrus, thyme, jasmine, and amber.
Outside of the lobby, a sculpture garden occupies the building’s public plaza. To revamp the space, the architects have installed new seating, pavement, and updated planters to facilitate public engagement and future community events.
Inside the building, tenants have access to Sage Oasis, an amenity floor to help tenants escape and relax from a hectic day. Spaces include an outdoor terrace and garden, a cafe lounge, and library lounge. A board room, a ‘salon’ meeting room, and a catering kitchen can also be reserved for private company gatherings.
As an added perk, tenants can take advantage of the complimentary Sage Passport, which allows access to other Oasis programs in Manhattan. The first Oasis program opened at 437 Madison Avenue and features a winter garden, a café, a communal lounge and library, a terrace garden, a breakout studio for small gatherings, and a meditation studio. There is also a flexible event space for large gatherings branded as The Forum.
The next Oasis will debut at 77 Water Street in Manhattan’s Financial District.

Excavation is moving along at 95 North 6th Street, the site of a forthcoming two-story development from 95 North 6th Street LLC in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. SRA Architecture and Engineering is listed at the applicant of record for permits filed earlier this year and MJM Associates Construction, LLC is the general contractor for the project, which is located on 25-foot-wide interior lot between Wythe Avenue and Berry Street.
Recent photographs show the lot cleared of its former single-story occupant and an excavator working at the rear of the property. Wooden retaining walls have been assembled on the northern and eastern ends of the site, and a row of steel pilings has already been inserted into the earth directly in front them. Some mounds of rubble from the demolition remain near the sidewalk scaffolding along North 6th Street.
The below Google Street View image details the conditions at the property prior to the start of demolition.
The nearest subway from the project is the L train at the Bedford Avenue station. Also nearby is the North Williamsburg ferry terminal on the East River, a short walk to the northwest along the waterfront esplanade at the end of North 6th Street.
A completion date for 95 North 6th Street, renderings, and the intended building programming was not listed in the permits, though it’s likely the property will give rise to a commercial development given North 6th Street’s reputation as a popular retail corridor in Williamsburg, lined with a mix of local and name-brand stores, cafes, and small eateries.

FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) subsidiary Jersey Central Power and Light (JCP&L) has filed for an expansion of its energy efficiency programs with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU). The $964.2 million, two-and-a-half-year portfolio of programs would begin on Jan. 1, 2025, and is designed to achieve the electricity savings required by the New Jersey Clean Energy Act of 2018 and the BPU.
Jim Fakult, president of JCP&L: “New Jersey is a national leader in clean energy. By expanding programs that have proven to be successful and adding new tools and incentives that build on the safe, reliable electric service we provide our customers every day, JCP&L is proud to continue our role in achieving goals that make our state a better place to live, work and raise a family.”
The proposal includes the continuation of several core programs offered by JCP&L since July 2021 and introduces several new offerings. Some of the programs include:

JCP&L also proposes to expand a program that reduces demand during peak hours for residential customers to include small business customers and offer additional features for residential customers with smart meters.
The Comfort Partners Program, the low- and moderate-income utility assistance program currently co-managed through New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program, would be consolidated as a part of this proposal. The updated program, which will be managed by electric and gas utilities, would offer tiered benefits for moderate- and low-income customers, based on household income and other qualifying factors.
JCP&L is also proposing a Conservation Voltage Reduction Program that will analyze company substations and distribution circuits to identify opportunities to reduce voltage in the system.
JCP&L’s rates remain the lowest among New Jersey’s four regulated electric distribution companies. If this expansion is approved, the typical JCP&L residential customer using 783 kilowatt-hours of electricity and currently paying $116.88 per month could expect to see a total increase of approximately $4.86, or 4.2%, on their monthly electric bill by July 2026. Three incremental rate adjustments would start with a $0.97 increase for the typical JCP&L residential customer on Jan. 1, 2025. Additional impacts would be effective July 1, 2025, and July 1, 2026.
JCP&L, a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp., is an electric distribution company serving 1.1 million customers in the counties of Burlington, Essex, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren.
