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 — A hearing date has been set to discuss the Affordable Housing Compliance/Redeveloper Intervention request after SV Chatham PO LLC filed a brief in Morris County Superior Court requesting an intervention.
Superior Court Judge Michael C. Gaus has scheduled a "Motion Hearing In-Person" for 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 25 at the Sussex County Courthouse.
In a brief filed in Morristown in mid-June, SV Chatham PO attorneys requested court intervention in the matter, after not being selected for the redevelopment project. According to the brief, "SV Chatham PO JV LLC, is the owner of property in Chatham that is part of the Post Office Plaza Redevelopment Area. SV has been the designated redeveloper of the Post Office Plaza Redevelopment Area since 2019."
SV Chatham, whose plan was originally rejected by the Borough of Chatham Council when it voted 4-3 to go with an all-affordable housing 15-unit project for Post Office Plaza, filed an intervention brief in Morris County Superior Court in June.
The hearing, which was first scheduled for June 24, has been rescheduled for Aug. 9 after two adjournments.
"The Borough has routinely cited this Post Office Plaza Redevelopment Plan and the designation of SV as redeveloper as a defense to other challenges to the Borough’s compliance with its affordable housing obligation. However, while it was using the Post Office Plaza Redevelopment Plan and SV redeveloper designation as a shield, the Borough has been behind the scenes attempting to severely limit the amount of residential density and affordable housing produced as part of any redevelopment," said the brief.
Many residents have spoken out during the project's various special meetings, criticizing the borough's lack of transparency throughout the redevelopment project, which has been a source of contention for many.
"There will be an appropriate time and place to potentially have further discussions and disclosures and that decision is best made in consultation with our expert affordable housing attorney and our redevelopment attorney," said Steven Kleinman the Chatham Borough attorney.
According to the council, the future development will be a 15-unit, single-building affordable housing complex on borough-owned land at the southeast corner of Post Office Plaza along Bowers Lane.

CHATHAM, NJ --Chatham High students Ishir Rao and Aditya Sinha organized and ran the CS Base Summer Camp - a free computer science camp for students from elementary through high school - at the Library of the Chathams last month.
Founded by CHS sophomore Rao and co-led by senior Sinha, the CS Base Summer Camp offered six unique courses that accommodated all ages.
The completely student-run organization offered an early, comprehensive, and easily accessible introduction to computer science education and advanced topics, such as artificial intelligence, which is vital in preparing students for the workforce and enabling them to lead in the rapidly changing technological future.
The annual week-long camp - held Aug. 15-20 this year - had more than 100 attendees who were taught vital computer science skills by teams of dedicated high school volunteers. Class topics covered various CS subjects, such as introductions to programming languages (including Scratch, Python, and Java), Robotics, App Development, and Artificial Intelligence & Data Science.
CS Base invited multiple industry experts from renowned companies and a wide range of professions to introduce students to the many career paths available in the broad field of computer science.
“Having such accomplished professionals speak to the children at our camp gives them something to aspire to and reminds them of all that they can achieve in their careers,” Sinha said.
Financial technology experts Hitesh Aggarwal (Google) and Sanjay Seth (Barclays), game designer Max Garber (Amber Studios), computer science professors Dr. Michelle Zhu (Montclair State University) and John Hajdu (Rutgers University), and pharmaceutical researcher Joseph Tivade (PTC Therapeutics) were among the guest speakers at the camp, providing insight into their respective professions.
“This unique opportunity for our students to have conversations with industry professionals regarding careers many of them wanted to pursue was extremely beneficial in getting them engaged and ready to learn more,” Rao said.

A number of elected officials from Chatham and New Jersey visited the camp to witness recognized the work accomplished by this group of high school students. Senator Jon Bramnick and Assemblywoman Nancy Muñoz from the New Jersey State Legislature spoke to the students at the camp and encouraged them to continue their computer science journeys.
“This is the future of our country,” Senator Bramnick said. “Everything you are teaching here is the future, and you are doing a terrific job.”
Local officials such as Chatham Township Mayor Ashley Felice, Chatham Township Administrator Ziad Shehady, and Chatham Borough Council President Irene Treloar had the opportunity to interact with the students and recognize the initiatives of these Chatham High School students.
“(The summer camp) opens up a whole new world and career path for these kids that really benefits them for their entire lives,” Mayor Felice said.
CS Base will continue with in-person and virtual events in Chatham and their various International chapters throughout the school year. Through these events and programs, such as the summer camp, they hope to further their mission of training the next generation of computer scientists, one line of code at a time.

CHATHAM, NJ — A location change has been ordered in the ongoing legal battle between developers, whose plans for the Post Office Plaza redevelopment project were rejected, and the Borough of Chatham.
In a recent announcement, Superior Court Judge Michael C. Gaus has declared that the hearing will be moved from the Sussex County Courthouse to the Morris County Historic Courthouse. The hearing has also been reassigned to Judge Stephan C. Hansbury, according to officials.
The in-person hearing will still take place on Aug. 25 at 1:30 p.m., according to Gaus, and will cover the Affordable Housing Compliance/Redeveloper Intervention request that SV Chatham PO LLC filed in Morris County Superior Court.
The brief was filed in Morristown in mid-June after SV Chatham PO attorneys requested court intervention in the matter after being rejected for the redevelopment project.
Since initially being filed, the hearing has been pushed back from its original date of Aug. 9 due to an agreement from all parties, according to court records.
Because the original notice stated that the case would be heard in Sussex, the court will make arrangements to broadcast the hearing from Morris to Sussex at the request of any residents.
During the project's various special meetings over the last few months, many residents have spoken out, criticizing the borough's lack of transparency throughout the redevelopment project, which has been a source of contention for many.
According to the Chatham Borough attorney, further discussions and disclosures regarding the project will be revealed at an appropriate time and will be "made in consultation with our expert affordable housing attorney and our redevelopment attorney."
The future development, according to the council, will be a 15-unit, single-building affordable housing complex on borough-owned land at the southeast corner of Post Office Plaza along Bowers Lane.
According to the brief filed with the county, "SV Chatham PO JV LLC, is the owner of property in Chatham that is part of the Post Office Plaza Redevelopment Area. SV has been the designated redeveloper of the Post Office Plaza Redevelopment Area since 2019."
SV Chatham PO claims that the borough worked behind the scenes to severely limit the amount of residential density and affordable housing produced as part of any redevelopment.
Council candidate Bob Weber stated at a recent council meeting that the legal issues surrounding Post Office Plaza were "spiraling out of control."

This story is terrifying.
According to ABC7NY.com, there is a family in Brick who is currently afraid to go in their back yard and even their own pool because they are being shocked by unexplained electrical currents.
Wild, right?
James and Collen Volk are the Brick homeowners facing the issue and they say the problem started once they installed an above ground pool in their backyard earlier this Summer.
Since then, the strikes of electrical current have been unpredictable but very strong.
"My wife, my mother-in-law, and my daughter in the pool, and my wife went to go clean out the skimmer basket," said James according to ABC7NY.com. "When she stuck her hand in, she got shocked so bad that she felt it down to her feet, like tingling, numbness."
I couldn't even imagine having to be afraid for my life in my own home like this.
You must be thinking, "Why don't they get it looked at by a professional?"
Oh, they have and many times.
They have brought various electricians and pool professionals out to see what the problem is.
However, even after following the advice of every expert who came to their home, the mysterious electrical shocks have continued.
"It's a scary thing," added James according to ABC7NY.com. "I've got a 2-year-old, she's my first child. I've got my wife here. I've got my mother in law here. We're scared to come out of the house and even walk in our lawn."
Can someone put this family up in a hotel or something?
If they step in the wrong spot at the wrong moment, they could endure a life altering shock depending on the voltage.
Whatever the problem is, it almost seems like it is getting worse because James' mother-in-law recently felt a strong shock while standing in their front yard.
Town officials have been made aware and believe that if the pool has been checked out, the electrical currents must be coming from the ground.
The ground? THE GROUND?! What is under the ground that could be electrifying people like this?
Jersey Central Power & Light are currently looking into the Brick family's problem .
