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.

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 Boonton, 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.

BOONTON, N.J. -- A Morris County park has been closed after a close call with a bear and a flurry of sightings across New Jersey.
A parkgoer's encounter with a black bear forced officials to close Tourne County Park in Boonton this week.
"A bear followed a patron out of the park, even though it knew it was there. It got within a close distance," said Kelli Kovacevic, director of park maintenance and natural resources for Morris County.
The bear's aggressive behavior toward a person was not typical.
"It's unusual behavior. Bears usually keep a distance from humans, especially if they know they're there," said Kovacevic.
According to Kovacevic, part of the blame is on parkgoers who all too often let their dogs run off leash.
"Dogs running off leash are unpredictable in nature, even though people think they have them under control. We often find them running off into the woods and it leads to negative encounters with wildlife," said Kovacevic.
Dogs are required to be on a 6-foot leash in Tourne Park.
Jack Hall walks in and around the park daily and frequently sees dog owners ignoring the rule.
"I really sympathize with the bears because people constantly don't put their dogs on leashes, and that's the cause of it," said Hall.
The 500-plus-acre park has been closed since Wednesday. A trap was put out to try to catch the aggressive bear. Officials will evaluate whether to safely reopen the park next week.
"There is wildlife in the park, particularly bears. We are in bear country," said Kovacevic. "Never feed a bear, never approach a bear. Definitely keeping dogs on leash would go a long way to prevent future incidents."
June and July are the peak of black bear mating season, which makes it the most active time of year for bear sightings.
Morris County officials will continue monitoring the park to make sure people are not going in while it's closed.

This Saturday, November 4, Boonton’s library and recreational department are teaming up to host the Town’s second book festival, this time designed to appeal to lovers of good food and good writing.
“We were looking at the national book festival scene and knew that we needed a hook to make ours stand out in a crowded field,” says Lotte Newlin, director of the Boonton Holmes Public Library. “So we decided to tap into Boonton’s rich culinary traditions represented in the town’s many outstanding restaurants.”
To that end, the Bookfest will feature stars and authors from all ends of the world of food — cookbook writers and food stylists, restaurant critics, journalists, and visual artists. “Of course, we are also including authors whose specialty is cozy mysteries with recipes,” adds Annie Mizera, library program coordinator. “Mystery Book Club aficionados will love a cozy stroll down Mystery Lane!” Other programmed events include “Culinary Journeys and Adventures,” featuring critically acclaimed cookbook authors, and “Color in the Kitchen,” an interactive arts workshop with local artist Kathy Glatz.
The events will be held in venues along Boonton’s historic Main Street, anchored by the newly restored Boonton Holmes Public Library. Each venue will serve as the setting for author talks, book signing, and panel discussions. The afternoon concludes with a festive communal storytelling evening themed “Love in the Kitchen,” where Boonton residents are invited to share their own memorable personal stories about cooking and food.
“We are delighted that former Top Chef contestant Ash Fulk has agreed to serve as emcee for the storytelling event,” Newlin added. “It will be a great evening for all.”
Funding for the Bookfest is provided by the town of Boonton, the Boonton Holmes Public Library, and the Morris Arts Council. “We are incredibly grateful to Morris Arts, which has already committed $4,000 to the endeavor,” says Mayor Richard Corcoran. “This allowed us to attract high-quality participants and ensure critical Bookfest visibility.”

PARSIPPANY, NJ — The lengthy process of creating public open space around the Boonton Reservoir has advanced once more, this time by going before the township planning board for a courtesy review.
After two years of site investigations, designs, and engineering work, progress is being made on the plan for a 7.7-mile trail in Parsippany and Boonton.
On Monday, June 5, the Parsippany Troy-Hills Planning Board met with a representative from the Open Space Institute and the project engineer to undergo a courtesy review hearing on the highly anticipated Boonton Reservoir and Trail Project.
The effort to renovate Jersey City's 700-acre reservoir in Morris County has been ongoing for over two years, and the project is still on paper despite a $600,000 federal Community Project Grant secured by U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill last year to facilitate the project.
Since 1904, the facility, which is located in the towns of Boonton and Parsippany-Troy Hills, has served as a utility and Jersey City's primary water supply.
The project, which was announced in 2018, will be built in four stages. The centerpiece of the project is a 7.7-mile natural-materials hiking trail complete with trail signage, three parking areas, and a new pedestrian bridge trail across the reservoir's massive dam outfall.
Peter Karis, the Vice President for Parks and Stewardship for the Open Space Institute, said that they are currently at the tail end of the pre-development process of the project.
Officials claim that once the overall project is completed, the Boonton Reservoir will be more secure for all residents. The extra green infrastructure is meant to reduce stormwater runoff, and the loop trail will become a regionally significant recreational destination for the Parsippany community.
The trail will have two main entry points, one on Greenbank Drive and the other planned for right off of Parsippany Boulevard, Karis said.
"It is a four-phase project. Phase one includes a trailhead at Greenbank Drive and about 3.2 miles of trail running along the eastern edge of the reservoir at the southern end. It's essentially an existing maintenance road around the reservoir through phase one," Karis said.
The Greenbank Drive trailhead will have space for approximately 40 cars, as well as an entry gate, kiosks, and scenic overlook areas with signage explaining the reservoir's history and ecology.
Phase two will see the construction of the second trailhead, which will lead to two distinct sections of the trail. One section will head north to a specific lookout point, while the other will head south to another "prominent" lookout point overlooking the reservoir.
According to Karis, phase two will also be ADA-accessible, while phase one won't.
"Phase one will be universally accessible, although not ADA," Karis said.
The third phase will go around the dam, including the replacement of a 120-foot historic bridge on the dam's down slope side. According to officials, the bridge will connect phases one and two.
"Phase four on the western slope is the most remote and the most rugged. It includes four pedestrian bridges and the vast majority of the water protection areas that are included in the project. There are several inputs into the reservoir from the 287 corner that are unmitigated from a stormwater management perspective," Karis said.
Although the construction of the parking lots will necessitate the removal of trees, the project engineer clarified that all removed trees in the surrounding areas would be replaced in order to maintain the tree canopy.
“This project has been in the works for some time, and it is very near and dear to my heart,” Mayor James Barberio said. “The opening of this recreation area will be enjoyed by so many of our residents and those of other towns for years to come.
Barberio anticipates that this project will generate a lot of traffic near the reservoir because the trail's opening will be the first time the reservoir is officially open to the public.
"I can't tell you how many residents are looking forward to this coming to fruition," Barberio said.
