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.

With a systematic treatment plan, patients can find help for painful symptoms like:
Professionals practicing acupuncture in Chatham Borough, 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.

CHATHAM, NJ — Chatham Borough will phase out its current "Green Bag" waste collection system in favor of a new automated system at the start of next year, with the first phase of the transition commencing this week.
The new carts will be delivered to all residents throughout the week, beginning the week of Dec. 11, and will be dropped off at houses throughout the whole week. The municipality will also provide literature with extra information about the new program with the bins.
Starting on Jan. 1, 2024, an automated system in which a mechanical "one-armed bandit" will empty brand-new garbage bins rather than the borough's current green bags.
Since the announcement last year, several residents have spoken out, questioning the decision to transition from the current trash collection system, which is based on "pay as you throw," to an automated system in which a mechanical arm would empty bins into the garbage truck.
Once residents receive their new bins, they can begin using the new carts immediately, but until Dec. 31, they will need green bags in them, officials said.
The financial impact of the shift on the borough's residents was a major source of concern. A worry that officials say is unfounded because the switch will save most borough residents money.
The annual solid waste bill was $374 this year, plus the cost of green bags, a significant increase from the previous year. "Our vendor costs have gone up by more than 70 percent. This is a problem everywhere. It's absolutely crazy right now," Council member Jocelyn Mathiasen said previously.
It is estimated that if the borough had kept the green bag program, the prices would have risen further.
"This program will cost less for the Borough and residents than continuing the green bags program. The new rates replace both your annual solid waste bill and the cost of green bags," the borough said.
Under the new system, a 65-gallon garbage bin would cost $482, versus $564 with green bags. The smallest bin, which holds 35 gallons, would cost $259 instead of $374. There is also a 95-gallon bin, which is suitable for large families and costs $704.
Here is the new schedule, which will go into effect in January:
Monthly bulk waste collection will continue as normal, officials said.
In the event of an occasional surplus of trash, residents will be allowed to place a bag labeled "excess trash" next to their container. The stickers are $3 at Borough Hall and will cover one large (up to a 40-gallon) bag. Residents will be permitted to use the stickers three times per year; if they require more, they must upgrade their cart, officials said.

CHATHAM, NJ -- A group of Lum Avenue residents made the short walk over to the municipal building on Monday night to petition the mayor and Borough of Chatham Council about the overflow parking problem caused by the employees of ECLC School that they say has escalated and become "unbearable."
The residents, who are part of the Central Borough Neighborhood Association, detailed the daily woes they have experienced over the past five years with cars blocking their driveways and making them late for work; idling cars in front of their driveways; all-day parking in front of their homes when the parking limit is two hours, and construction workers parking on lawns because of lack of parking spaces.
According to Andrew Zagoren, a Lum Avenue resident, the parking problems have continued to increase over the last three years. He spoke for the group during the public comment portion of regular meeting of the Borough of Chatham Council on Monday night (see below).

Zagoren is the landlord of commercial property in Metuchen and noted that when it comes to tenants, the landlord has to know, "when to say no."
Janice Perrone, head of the Central Borough Neighborhood Association, spoke up for equal treatment for all Borough residents, noting that "...every street in the borough will be susceptible to this kind of all-day parking if the Borough allows for residential areas to be used as overflow parking lots." See her comments below.
Lum Avenue resident Tom Korkuch expressed his concerns for safety on the street with the low visibility caused by the number of cars parked on the street (see below).
Chatham Borough Mayor Carolyn Dempsey thanked the residents for coming to the meeting and acknowledged their frustration. She said that ECLC's needs have changed over the years with more one-on-one instruction. She said she has opened dialogue with ECLC administrators to resolve the problem (see her remarks below).
Chatham resident Michael Dean offered a solution for the overflow ECLC parking, noting that he counted 131 vacant spaces at 11:30 a.m. on Monday at the Chatham Train Station parking lot, which is located adjacent to ECLC School. Mayor Dempsey did not rule that out as a possible solution when asked about it after the meeting, although she said that the open spaces vary throughout the week.

CHATHAM, NJ -- The Borough of Chatham Council unanimously introduced an ordinance at its regular meeting Tuesday night that will give residents 180 days to register with the borough and show proof that it does not have a lead or galvanized water pipe servicing their home.
The state mandated that municipalities comply by replacing lead or galvanized pipes over a span of 10 years when it passed the law about two years ago.
Steven Kleinman, Chatham Borough attorney, explains how the ordinance, which will be up for adoption on Oct. 23, will work in the video below.

The ordinance reads, in part: It is hereby established that lead service lines are prohibited in the Borough of Chatham and any existing lead service lines are required to be replaced under the procedures established by New Jersey law and the Borough Code.
The full ordinance can be read HERE:
Chatham Borough sent out a letter to all borough residents over the summer, explaining how to determine if you have a lead pipe servicing water to your home. Council member Jocelyn Mathiasen talks about the process that led up to the introduction of the ordinance in the video below.
The Chatham Borough Department of Public Works has been collecting the information sent in by residents and will check any resident's pipes, free of charge.
Information on the lead pipe replacement program can be found on the borough website.
The owner of a dwelling, building, or structure shall replace a lead service line by either of the following methods:
1. Registering for the Borough’s Lead Service Line Replacement Program within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of this Ordinance and authorizing the Borough’s designated contractor access to the subject property to conduct the replacement. The owner shall execute any necessary documents supplied by the Borough and/or its contractor allowing for access to the subject property in order to verify whether a lead service line is present on the property, under such terms and conditions as the Borough may determine. If the service line is found to be lead or galvanized, the Borough will replace the service line and the owner will be assessed the cost of the replacement of the lead or galvanized service line. The cost of such replacement will be paid by the owner to the Borough either at one time, or over a period not to exceed five (5) years pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:56- 35, with legal interest thereon waived by the Borough.
2. Replacing the lead service line using the owner’s selected contractor. If an owner selects this option, then replacement must be completed within 180 days of the effective date of this Article. An extension of time may be granted at the Borough’s discretion if the owner can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Borough’s designee, that a good-faith effort has been made to comply with this Article. Upon replacement of the lead service line, the owner must provide the Borough with sufficient proof that the work has been successfully completed. Proof shall include all of the following minimum documentation: (i) a permit issued by the Borough to a licensed plumber authorized to perform the replacement; (ii) an invoice from the contractor who completed the replacement; and (iii) an inspection report by a licensed plumbing inspector confirming the replacement has been completed in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.
In related news, the council passed a resolution awarding a contract not to exceed $500,000 to Shaugher Property Services for the lead line service replacement program.
Yield Sign to Stop Sign at Myrtle and Minton
The council introduced an ordinance that will replace the yield sign on Myrtle Avenue, where it intersects with Minton Avenue, with a stop sign. The ordinance will be up for adoption on Oct. 23.
Colleen Truppo, chair of the Chatham Shade Tree Commission, reported that it will be planting 70 trees of varying species in the 37 locations determined by an Arborist as the sites most in need of trees. Truppo said that residents would be receiving a letter if a tree is to be planted in the vicinity of their property. Chatham Borough has maintained its status as a "Tree City" for the past 20 years. The designation has to be renewed every year.
Grand Opening of the Stanley Center
Council member Carolyn Dempsey announced that Oct. 29th will be the date of the "Grand Opening" of the Stanley Center. Residents are welcome to attend, but, because of limited space are asked to secure free tickets ahead of the event.
Train Station Annual Parking Pass Going Up $50
Council member Jocelyn Mathiasen said that the annual parking pass for the train station will be raised $50 in the 2024 budget. She said that there is still a high demand for the spaces, even though a number of them are not used on a regular basis.

CHATHAM, NJ -- The Chatham Borough Volunteer Fire Department is marking its 125th anniversary and CBVFD has been around since before President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Oct. 9, 1920, as Fire Prevention Day.
The Chatham Borough Volunteer Fire Department held an open house on Saturday as part of its annual Fire Prevention Week.
Chatham Borough Fire Chief Peter Glogolich was on hand to show off the equipment and explain the latest firefighting tools, including the "F-500" Encapsulator Agent which is the only thing known to put out lithium-ion batteries that are used in electric vehicles.

Chief Glogolich explains in the video below how the "F-500" liquid can contain a fire, absorb the heat and lower the temperature from 1100 degrees to 90 in 30 seconds. Fortunately, it hasn't been needed for a real fire yet, only test demonstrations.
The theme for this year's Fire Prevention Week is Kitchen Safety and Glogolich said: "It's good for the parents to know if you have a grease fire, not to panic. Just put a lid on it or a pot that is just a little bigger than it on top and the fire goes right out."
A 43-year member of the Chatham Borough Volunteer Fire Department, Gloglolich gave 9-year-old Mackenzie Hurley a personal tour and explained the tools used by firefighters, such as the heat sensor that helps find people in a smoke-filled room (see below).
