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.

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 Chester 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.

CHESTER — Two historic buildings on the Larison's Turkey Farm property face demolition to make way for a mixed-use development that includes housing, low income housing, a new restaurant, pharmacy and office space.
The project, discussed at Tuesday night's council meeting, will help the borough meet its state requirements for low-income housing, Mayor Janet Hoven said.
"The most current list of what each municipality has, as far as affordable housing, shows we need 111 units of affordable housing," Hoven said. "This is not just about Chester borough. Every municipality has to do this."
Story continues below the gallery.
During the public portion of the meeting, concerns voiced by residents included environmental-impact issues and increased traffic along the West Main Street portion of Route 202. A new traffic light would be placed at the main entrance to the new development across the road from the ShopRite-anchored Chester Shopping Mall.
West Main Street resident Stacy Rogers told the council traffic is already a problem in the area.
"In the fall, you can't exit or enter," she said, referring to seasonal weekend traffic down the road at Alstede Farms, a popular ecotourism farm. "The traffic doesn't want to budge."
The development, a product of lengthy discussions between borough officials and the developers, would include a new 6,500-square-foot restaurant on the corner of routes 206 and 202, which would replace the iconic Larison's Turkey Farm Inn restaurant.
The restaurant closed in 2000, and has been unsuccessfully revived three times since, the last one closing in 2009.

Turkey Farm Acquisitions LLC is teaming with the owners of an adjoining Route 24 property known as the Mill Ridge tract, where 20 market-rate town homes would be built as part of the project.
The proposal includes a 14,498-square-foot CVS pharmacy, a 20,000-square-foot medical office building, a 5,000-square-foot office building and 36 affordable housing units that would be built and paid for by the developers.
"The CVS is on the smaller side of what they like to build," said Henry Kent-Smith, attorney for the developers.

Critics of the proposal included officers of the Chester Historical Society, who urged developers and the council to consider adaptive reuse of two buildings on the 25-acre tract: a circa 1873 residence known as Sunnyside and the circa 1800 Isaac Corwin House, which became part of the Larison's Turkey Farm restaurant that opened in 1945.
Chester Historical Society Vice President John Pfaff challenged Kent-Smith's assertion that the society had been told it could take possession of Sunnyside if it could pay for the expenses involved.
"At the mayor's suggestion, the society reached out to the owners of the property and asked to look at what we could do to save Sunnyside," Pfaff said. "I never dreamed we'd have to look at what we can do to save the Irwin Corwin House. The fact is, nobody ever got back to us and they totally ignored our input."
"Mr. Kent-Smith, stated that the developers had offered to give Sunnyside to the Chester Historical Society and that we did not answer," said Chester Historical Society President Edward Ng. "That is the opposite of what happened. I sent their lawyer at the time, the owners, and members of Chester's Land Use Board, a letter offering to work with the owners to apply for a historic preservation grant, but we needed their active cooperation. I got no response from them and the deadline for the grant expired."
Kent-Smith also said Sunnyside had deteriorated to the point where it was not salvageable. Ng said Sunnyside would be "much harder" to save, but continued to urge preservation and adaptive reuse of the Corwin House.
Demolishing the Corwin House, Ng said, would be akin to demolishing the Publick House, another 19th century building repurposed into a restaurant, a drawing of which dominates the borough seal.
"It's one of the iconic buildings in Chester's historic district, a state-recognized historic district," he said.
"In the discussions, the majority of the council said they were fine if the Larison-Corwin House was demolished in order to build a new restaurant," Hoven said. "In talking with the developers and owners, they were very sensitive to that building and the meaning it has to the community."
Hand-hewn beams and other elements of the Corwin House would be preserved to incorporate into the new restaurant building.
Existing stone walls would be incorporated into the design, Hoven said. Developers, the mayor said, have already received interest in the leasing of the new restaurant. One of the interested parties, Hoven said, has offered to have Adirondack chairs outside, just as Larison's had.
"They are paying homage to Larison's by maintaining some of that old-time Larison's feel, but in a new restaurant," Hoven said.
Emboldened in 2015 by the New Jersey Supreme Court's decision to move oversight of Mt. Laurel housing obligations from the Council on Affordable Housing to municipal courts, the owners in 2016 originally submitted a new development plan that included a 144-unit apartment complex, 28 units of which would have been designated as affordable housing under Mt. Laurel.

The negotiated proposal, Hoven said, also relieves the borough of a legal obligation to bond for the building of low-income housing to meet its obligation to build affordable housing. Those bonds would have been paid for by taxpayers.
Instead, the cost will be covered by the developers, Hoven said.
The council also will appoint a committee to assist the developer in designing building and other elements that would complement the existing streetscape and character of the borough.
No action on the matter was taken at the meeting. Hoven said the next step would be for the council to participate in a settlement discussion at its Oct. 2 meeting.
Any approved plan would then have to clear several hurdles before approval, including submitting plans for review by the land use council and complying with regulations set by the New Jersey Highlands Council.

West Chester Borough Council is unanimously throwing its support behind a proposal to restore the area’s passenger rail line connecting the borough to Philadelphia.
Commuter trains have not operated in Chester County’s most populous municipality since SEPTA shuttered the service in 1986. A community-driven revival has been in the works for years.
A recent vote by borough council cemented a resolution that allows the Railroad Restoration Committee to seek funding to reestablish service from Wawa, Delaware County, to West Chester. They call the plan the Metro Concept.
“It’s a less costly and more achievable approach to returning rail service using battery-operated cars, and what we’d like to do is lease the cars for two years as a pilot project to show that we can attract riders,” said Jo Ann Kelton, chairperson of the Railroad Restoration Committee.
Trains ran along the line for nearly 100 years before SEPTA put a stop to passenger rail service due to low ridership. Riders weren’t bringing in enough money to support improvements to the line.
The borough has been working since 2014 — when the borough council created the committee — to solve that issue.
SRPRA — not to be confused with SEPTA — is finally chugging along with plans to restore rail service connecting Reading, Pottstown, Phoenixville, and Philadelphia.
1 year ago
PennDOT published a feasibility study in 2018 that showed it was possible ridership would return if passenger service made a comeback. However, the price tag for revamping the line and buying modern passenger cars came in at an estimated $380 million. West Chester and SEPTA saw the cost as a rather large and expensive obstacle.
“Since that time, my committee and all the members, of course, have been working on plans to try to develop an alternate method of restoring service until SEPTA would be ready to take it over,” Kelton said.
She pointed to the upcoming revival of the defunct commuter rail station in Wawa as a sign of progress. Once SEPTA officially reconnects its Elwyn stop to Wawa, Kelton believes that the Metro Concept will have an opportunity to build on it and put West Chester back “on the map.”
The plan is to reopen four stations: two in West Chester, one in Westtown Township, and one near Cheyney University. The idea is that passengers from West Chester would transfer over from the battery-operated cars once at the Wawa station to regular SEPTA cars.
According to the committee, this endeavor would cost $16.4 million — just 4% of PennDOT’s original estimation. This is largely because the plan does not call for the lines to be completely refitted to operate with the modern SEPTA cars.
“We think it’s feasible, and we think we can do it. We think it’s a very attractive alternative. And right now, we’re looking for funding sources, both state, local, and federal,” Kelton said.
Committee members are often asked if the borough that created it supports their plans. Now, they’ll have a signed resolution to approach potential funders with.
Borough Council President Michael Stefano was aware of the plans to restore West Chester’s passenger rail service even before he was an elected official. He was also aware of PennDOT’s hefty price tag.
“I feel like we’ve made leaps and bounds in terms of trying to get some momentum going. And although we’re not there [yet] and we have a long way to go on whether we could actually accomplish this, it just feels like we’re moving in the right direction,” Stefano said.
West Chester is currently the only county seat in the four suburban counties that doesn’t have passenger rail service into the city.
The closest station would be in Exton, Malvern, or Paoli. Stefano wants his constituents to have greater accessibility to travel by train.
“I think it’s a convenient way to travel. It’s a quick way to travel. It’s a reliable way to travel — and it would be an incredible boost for our community,” Stefano said.
Kelton views the prospect of rail restoration as a remedy for the climate crisis, among other economic and social benefits. A revamped train line would reduce the need for commuting by car, cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

While the committee’s work has largely run smoothly, there is one small wrinkle in their plans. A portion of the line is currently used by the West Chester Railroad, which is a tourist train that has been in operation since 1997.
The borough leases those tracks from SEPTA and the all-volunteer nonprofit West Chester Railroad Heritage Association operates the train.
“We run mostly on Sundays from Easter through September. And then October, November, December, we run on Saturdays as well. We’ll run anywhere from one to five trains on a particular given day,” said Tyler Haney, the president of the West Chester Railroad Heritage Association.
Under the direction of the railroad volunteers, riders depart on the “scenic” trip from West Chester station to Glen Mills. There is a 30-minute layover at the Glen Mills station, which has been around since 1881. Visitors can look at the historical exhibits inside or enjoy a meal at the picnic grove outside. Then the train makes its way back home.
Haney enjoys being able to preserve this part of history in Chester and Delaware counties before there were long, winding highways.
“West Chester Railroad’s position has always been that we’re leasing the railroad at the pleasure of SEPTA and if SEPTA ever decides they want to bring regional rail service back, we will give up the tracks of them and let them take over and we would have to move on somewhere,” Haney said.
As the caretakers of the line, the volunteers have been working to ensure that the tracks weren’t completely abandoned. The group has even built a new train yard.
“We’ve had meetings with the committee. We’ve taken in everything they have to say. And ultimately, we think it could have some positive impacts for us, if they are able to get money to rebuild the track,” Haney said.
Haney thinks it’s possible to run regional rail service and the tourist train on the same tracks as long as there is a plan for how it’s going to be operated and who’s going to be responsible for maintenance — and as long as it doesn’t impact their operations.
West Chester Railroad did discuss with the borough council to have an amendment put into the resolution that the commuter rail should not impact its weekend operations. Because the trains are set to operate at different times, Kelton doesn’t believe that there will be any overlap in services or tours.

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Labor Day signifies the unofficial end of summer for many, so it's no surprise that people want to make the most of this long weekend before vacations end and school resumes.
From carnivals to parades, here's everything that is going on in Morris County over this Labor Day weekend.
The Mendham Pastime Club Annual Labor Day Carnival:
The annual carnival is scheduled to return on Sept. 1 at Mendham Borough Park. Running through Labor Day, rides, games, food, prizes and fireworks are all part of the planned fun.
The carnival is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings from 6 to 10 p.m. The Mendham Borough parade, which begins at 10 a.m. on Monday, is another important part of the weekend's celebrations.
After that, at 11 a.m., the final day of the carnival begins, and it ends abruptly at 10:30 p.m., just after a nightcap of fireworks.
The parade theme this year is Mendham Heroes, and the grand marshals are two local WWII veterans, Pietro "Pete" Cillo and William Fleming. One of the biggest draws of the four-day celebration is the 50/50 raffle, which culminates in a drawing on Labor Day evening.
Tickets are $5, and the prize pool has grown to over $50,000 in recent years. Last year’s winner won $35,515, making him the largest prize winner in the club's history.
This year's entertainment lineup features Carnaby Street Band, a New Jersey-based band that specializes in 60s music showcasing the British Invasion. They will perform at the Borough Park "Andrew Fletcher" Gazebo after the parade at 11 a.m.
Boonton Fire Department Labor Day Weekend Carnival and Parade:
The Boonton Fire Department is hosting its Labor Day Weekend Carnival at Boonton High School, which began on Thursday, Aug. 31 and runs through Sept. 3.
The carnival is open from 6 p.m. to midnight on Thursday and Friday, and from 3 p.m. to midnight on Saturday and Sunday.
Three more days of carnival excitement await with exhilarating rides for people of all ages, loads of great food, carnival games and prizes, live entertainment every night, a Super 50/50 lottery, fireworks and much more.
The parade is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 2. The Boonton Fire Department has had an inspection and parade on Labor Day Weekend for the past 86 years.
The parade will begin in West Boonton and travel along Main Street to Grant Street, Old Boonton Road, and finally to Boonton High School. The procession assembly location will be accessed via Morris Avenue at the intersection with Rockaway Street.
On Sunday, Sept. 3, fireworks will commence at 10 p.m., followed by a 50/50 lottery drawing at 10:30 p.m. A family seating area will be available, so bring your blankets and snuggle up for the show.
