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.

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 -- What Chatham Borough Planner Kendra Lelie has dubbed the "Bowers Lane Affordable Housing Project" was presented to the public on Tuesday night in Borough Hall.
Lelie, Tom Toronto, president of developer Bergen County United Way and architect Mike Scro gave Chatham Borough residents an overview of the project and answered questions from the public during the informal meeting.
Lelie said that the next step is for the Chatham Historic Commission to review the plans and make recommendations to the Chatham Borough Planning Board, which will give final approval to the site plans. The planning board is expected to put the project on its agenda in February.

The 15-unit, all-affordable 2 1/2 story building will include 10 two-bedroom apartments, three 3-bedroom units and two 1-bedroom units. It will be built on .55 acres at Post Office Plaza, with the frontage and access to Bowers Lane.
Toronto's Bergen County United Way has completed 35 affordable housing projects in New Jersey and has 22 more that are in the works. He encouraged (see below) Chatham residents to check out one of BCUW's completed project, "Independence Way at the Green" in Florham Park.
The overhead view of the project (see below) shows that the parking for the building will be located near the railroad tracks. Scro estimated that there would be approximately 18 parking spaces for the residents of the building. There will be four EV charging stations.
There will be an open application period for those wishing to live in the units, which will include verification of income and assets and an in-person interview. A non-affiliated third party will make the selections.

CHATHAM, NJ — George Sweetin, a member of the Chatham Borough Volunteer Fire Department, addressed the borough council last week and provided an update on the fire department's 125th anniversary celebration.
Sweetin unveiled the special banners made for the anniversary in front of the council, saying that the department hopes to hang them all around town on lampposts, as well as on a few empty poles at the train station.
"After it's all said and done, I would like to use them for recruitment for the fire department," Sweetin said.
In honor of the occasion, Sweetin said the department will hold an open house on May 6 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be live music, food trucks, an ice cream truck and a beer garden at the event.
"We'd like to show our appreciation for what all the residents have done over the past 125 years for us and at the same time, put a little feather in our hats," Sweetin said.
Chatham Borough Mayor Thaddeus Kobylarz agreed that the celebration was important for Chatham and that the council would support whatever the fire department wanted for a celebration.
"I don't think there would be any electives here that would say no to any of that, so that's an absolute yes," Kobylarz said.
The Chatham Borough Fire Department was founded in 1898, and it was split into two companies, each with a membership of only twenty people.
As time passed, the department began several community service projects and recreation events that borough residents still enjoy today. Events included the annual fishing derby, Christmas tree pick-up, and, of course, the Fourth of July parade.
The annual Fourth of July parade and fireworks event is one of the most cherished in the borough, and Sweetin anticipates this year will be even grander.
"On the Fourth of July we are going to do a little extra with the fireworks at the end of the day, and we are trying to get a couple more fire departments to participate in the parade, as well as bands… It's a work in progress," Sweetin said.
The fire department's original quarters were in the Ryerson Building on South Passaic Avenue, near the parking lot in front of the old Post Office. In 1996, the borough council authorized the construction of an addition to the fire station, which is now located on Fire House Plaza, just off Main Street.
The firehouse currently has five bays, a commons room that is frequently used for community events, a kitchen, a conference room, three offices and a member's area.

Conference championship cups were awarded around the state this week as regular seasons were completed and tournaments decided the last team standing in each conference.
This file will be updated as each cup champion is crowned.
Following a 2-19-1 season last year, the Mustangs moved down to the Charette division and turned around their fortunes.
Montville went undefeated in the Charette during the regular season to earn the top seed, then defeated Morris Catholic, 8-2, in the semifinals and rolled past Newton/Lenape Valley in the final, 8-3. Matthew Trifari netted five goals in the tournament final, including a natural hat trick in the second period to break a 3-3 tie.
It is the first cup championship for Montville since winning the Haas Cup in 2018.
The Wolfpack won one of the most chaotic cup brackets in the Garden State.
Every game in the Haas Cup went to overtime, including the two involving West Morris. The Wolfpack needed a shootout in order to get past Roxbury, 4-3, on Feb. 7. Six days later, Michael Ferry was the hero in a 3-2 overtime win over Park Regional.
The victory gives the Wolfpack the Haas Cup for the second straight season.
The tri-op often referred to as MoHoHa appeared in consecutive Haas Cup finals, but was turned aside both times.
But after moving up to the Halvorsen Division and drawing the second seed, MoHoHa beat Mendham in the cup semifinals and took on KJS United in the cup final. On the strength of Frank Diloreto's hat trick, MoHoHa finally hoisted its cup with a 5-1 win on Feb. 14.
It's the first cup for MoHoHa since winning the Haas Cup in 2014, prior to Hackettstown joining the program.
The Mountaineers enjoyed success in the McMullen division, earning the No. 2 seed in the cup bracket. A 3-2 semifinal win over Millburn pushed West Orange into the final to face top seed Scotch Plains-Fanwood. Dominic Locriccio's goal late in the third period broke a 2-2 tie, giving West Orange a 3-2 title victory on Feb. 15.
It's the first hockey cup title for West Orange since the program won the Kelly Cup back in 2004.
Perhaps the most surprising turnaround in the state this season was the rise of the Cougars, who won seven total games in the past two seasons.
Chatham won 11 regular-season games heading into the Mennen Cup before fending off Morris Knolls/Morris Hills, 4-3, in the semifinals. Sophomore Matt Nacinavich became the hero with two goals, including the game-winner in a 2-1 overtime win over Randolph in the final.
It's the first Mennen Cup for Chatham since 1981 and the first cup of any kind for the program since Chatham Borough and Chatham Township high schools combined in 1988.
The rise of girls ice hockey in New Jersey has grown to the point that two postseason cups have been established. The Blue Eagles of IHA made history on Feb. 15, winning the first-ever Cohen Cup championship. IHA was the No. 2 seed of the bracket and beat Princeton, 10-0 in two periods, during the quarterfinals.
Following a 9-5 win over Chatham in the semifinals on Feb. 13, IHA won the inaugural final with a 5-2 win over Kent Place. Gabriella Capano had two goals in the final to make history.
The following cup tournaments involve North Jersey hockey teams and have yet to be awarded: Librera Cup, Kelly Cup, Gordon Cup, Big North Gold Cup, Big North Silver Cup.
Residents in Chatham Borough will receive letters in November informing them of the revaluation of their homes and property.

CHATHAM, NJ — Starting next month, the borough's properties will be revalued and borough officials discussed the process at this week's council meeting to explain why it is necessary.
At the regular meeting of the Borough of Chatham Council on Monday night, Jason Cohen of Appraisal Systems, Inc. and Therese DePierro, Chatham Borough tax assessor, provided an update and answered questions from the mayor and council.
The Morris County Board of Taxation ordered Chatham Borough to perform revaluations, which were last done in 2005.
The letters will be distributed in November, and residents will have the opportunity to meet with Appraisal Systems, Inc. representatives at informal hearings held in the borough hall beginning in late November and running through the end of December, according to officials.
The new county tax assessment goes into effect this month and is expected to be finalized in county tax records in early January. The deadline for filing formal revaluation appeals is May 1, 2023.
According to Cohen, the revaluation will assess values at 100 percent and "fairly distribute" taxes throughout the borough. Cohen stated that the revaluation is "revenue neutral" for the borough.
Borough officials have stressed that the process does not imply that all residents and business owners will face higher property taxes; rather, the new tax rates are based on borough-wide averages.
"When a municipality goes through a reval, they are not increasing the budget, they are increasing the assessments, usually, sometimes when you do a reval you bring assessments down but in this case, they are going to rise," Cohen said. "When that happens, since the budget is not increasing, the tax rate drops. In easy math, if the assessment base goes up by two times, your tax rate is going down by half because revaluation is revenue neutral to the town."
Cohen stated that taxes could rise, fall, or stay unchanged. He described it as a pie, with the assessment determining the size of each taxpayer's slice.
"We aren't growing the pie. We are leaving the pie exactly the same size, we're just cutting everyone a new slice. So your slice may grow or shrink from where you are now to where you'll be in 2023. Individually you will see those changes," Cohen said.
Residents whose property values have risen faster than the borough average can expect higher tax rates, while those whose values have risen more slowly can expect lower tax rates. Residents whose properties have increased in line with the borough average should not anticipate an increase in their tax rates.
In recent months, neighboring communities have also been called to undergo tax assessments, the most recent being Morristown, which was called to be revalued for the first time in nearly two decades.
