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. To accomplish this, our physical therapists combine traditional and innovative techniques focused on increasing muscle strength and improving the body's range of motion. Our goal is to discover the root cause of your pain or mobility problems. That way, we can address the true reason why you need physical therapy, and work towards achieving long-lasting relief.
Of course, we understand that every patient is different. Your doctor can provide expert care in an encouraging environment by creating a customized treatment plan for you using modern, evidence-based research.
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 Denville, 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.
At Denville Medical, we aim to serve you with long-lasting quality of life through personalized acupuncture treatments in New Jersey. The path to a pain-free life begins with a friendly, informative appointment, where one of our doctors develops a customized treatment plan tailored to your body's needs. It starts with your first evaluation, where our experts learn about your medical history, diagnostic tests, current condition, and overall health goals.

DENVILLE, NJ – Funding was recently announced for a new warehouse proposed to be built in Denville on vacant land formerly owned by the township.
The joint venture equity deal for the proposed 119,250-square-foot building on 12-18 Vanderhoof Ave. was announced in a press release by JLL Capital Markets, which said it made the arrangement.
In the statement, JLL said it “operated on behalf of the new development sponsor, Cervenka Development Partners (CDP), to arrange the joint venture equity partnership with a global investment manager, Monocle Group.”

The warehouse would be built on a 19-acre site that became township-owned property through a tax sale almost four decades ago. The last year sold it to Vanderhoof LLC for about $6.4 million.
Denville Mayor Thomas Andes praised the deal that will enable the site’s development.
“The township and its professionals worked collaboratively with Cervenka Development Partners to create a plan that provides so much benefit to our community,” Andes said in the press release. “This project truly represents smart growth and is a win-win for everyone involved, including the citizens of Denville.”
The proposed building will feature a 36-foot clear height, 18 loading bays, one drive-in door, 52 car parking spaces and 13 trailer parking spaces, according to the announcement. It noted the site is close to Routes 80, 287 and 95 “providing access to 10 million people within a 30-minute drive time and 20 million people within an hour.”
“In my 12 years as mayor, we have continuously strived to increase the strength of our financial position through conservative budgetary policies,” Andes is quoted as saying. “This project and our partnership with CDP and Monocle Group is an integral part of a 5-year plan to be one of only a handful of municipalities in the state of New Jersey that are completely debt-free.”
CDP Principal Tom Cervenka is also quoted in the statement.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better team to execute this acquisition,” he said. “The town of Denville and Mayor Andes have been incredible to work with, while our JLL Capital Markets team brought an amazing equity partner to the table with the Monocle Group.”
Also weighing in was Monocle Group Principal Eric Benitez.
“We are thrilled to have been introduced to Tom and Sasha through our relationship with the JLL Capital Markets team,” he said. “CDP was able to secure this site at a cost basis that will enable us to achieve an above-market return on the deal. CDP has brought this project to the cusp of site plan approval, and we cannot wait to carry this through to completion together.”
The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales team was led by Managing Director Marc Duval, Director Jason Lundy, Managing Director Jordan Avanzato, Director Nicholas Stefans and Senior Managing Director Jose Cruz, according to the press release, which noted that Joel Lubin and his team will be handling the leasing for the project.
“JLL was able to bring several investors to the table despite a period of volatility in the capital markets environment and that speaks greatly to the strategic sponsor, Cervenka Development Partners,” Duval said.
“Investors were attracted to the opportunity, given CDP’s diligent and forward approach as well as the strong industrial fundamentals in Morris County,” Lundy added.

Changing The Face of Local Politics in New Jersey
August 10, 2023- Patrick Bieger is proud to receive the endorsement of Run for Something (RFS), the groundbreaking organization that recruits and supports strong voices in the next generation of progressive leadership.
“I’m incredibly honored that Run for Something has gotten behind my campaign here in Denville, where I’m working hard to bring a fresh perspective to the Township Council. Transparency and accessibility in government are two key themes of my campaign, and I hope to bring more of that to Denville with this endorsement,” said Patrick when asked for comment on the endorsement from RFS.
“We’re ecstatic to share this latest class of young, diverse trailblazers running for down-ballot office,” said co-founder and co-executive director Amanda Litman. “Some of the most important progress is made in these often-overlooked elected positions – I’m inspired by the grit and tenacity of these candidates running to create tangible change in their communities. Our team has their backs as they become the next generation of progressive leaders.”
Of our August endorsee class:
As we continue to build the progressive bench from the bottom-up, we are excited to support and amplify more talented, young progressives already making a difference at the state and local level.
The endorsement process includes an extensive internal review with background check, staff interview and insight from local state experts.
Amanda Litman and Ross Morales Rocketto launched RFS on Jan. 20, 2017 with a simple premise: help young diverse progressives to run for down-ballot races in order to build a bench for the future. RFS aims to lower the barriers to entry for these candidates by helping them with seeding money, organization building, and access to the trainings needed to be successful. So far, over 100,000 young people from across the country have signed up to run and gained access to RFS resources.
Run for Something recruits and supports talented, passionate young people who advocate for progressive values now and for the next 30 years, with the ultimate goal of building a progressive bench.

DENVILLE, NJ - Denville students last week joined others worldwide in celebrating Computer Science Education Week.
From Dec. 4 through Dec. 8, the Instructional Technology [IT] specialists of Denville’s Lakeview and Riverview Elementary Schools, along with the science teachers at Valley View Middle School, highlighted Hour of Code activities for all kindergarten to grade 8 students.
When Lakeview Elementary School’s second grade class attended IT Specialist Stacia Rothrock’s Hour of Code, the students jumped right into programming a remote ribbon dance. This entailed coding the creation of sections of ribbon, almost like a chain.

As the ribbon grew longer on the screen, students were able to wave their hand in front of the computer’s camera and watch as the ribbon danced, or rather moved remotely, across the screen. With just the wave of their hands in the air, students could control the ribbon’s movements from across the room.
The challenge, as well as the educational discovery that took place as the students mastered the coding skills that made it possible to extend and move the ribbon, were both exciting and fun for the students.
“I love to see how you are working together and helping each other,” Rothrock told the students as they met the coding challenge both independently and cooperatively at the same time.
Throughout the activity, students remained focused and engaged.
In addition to the Hour of Code activities in the IT classes, classroom teachers also incorporated computer science facts, online coding stories and artificial intelligence (AI) discussion questions.
Community leaders and school administrators from across Denville were also invited to attend the Hour of Code lessons. The guests assisted students with the activities and learned alongside the students as they tackled new concepts and applications.
The 2023 Hour of Code modules included programs and activities that incorporated both computer programming and activities that introduced students to the science behind AI and the technology required to code computers to support and incorporate AI into daily applications.
“The Hour of Code is always an exciting series of activities for each grade level,” said Riverview IT Specialist Renee Sudol. “This year, by also including AI, the activities are particularly relevant and engaging for students, as well as our invited guests.”
Among those attending the Hour of Code were Denville Mayor Thomas Andes, Morris County Sheriff James Gannon, Denville Public Library Storytime Librarian Ms. Melanie, and Denville Schools Superintendent Steven Forte.
When attending the Riverview grade 5 Hour of Code, Forte and other guests received 3D printed medallions that said CODE. The medallions were programmed and printed by the Riverview students during their Instructional Technology classes.
Also at Riverview, on Friday afternoon, the week-long Hour of Code initiative culminated in a school-wide "Drop Everything and Code" event.
“Classroom teachers instructed their students to log into their Computer Lab Google Classroom and work on an Hour of Code tutorial that had been posted,” Sudol explained.
In addition to AI, the Hour of Code modules also expanded on the students’ knowledge of technology that supports cybersecurity, AutoCAD programming for 3D printing and more. There are also Hour of Code modules designed to inspire girls to learn more about computer science.
The Hour of Code modules supported and enhanced the Denville Township School District’s extensive Instructional Technology curriculum.
Hour of Code is sponsored by Code.org, a non-profit educational website that focuses on teaching all K-12 students, worldwide, computer science skills. Hour of Code offers free, fun coding activities designed to promote education in the foundational field of computer science. In many cases, the Code.org modules incorporate recognizable platforms such as Minecraft, Dance Party and Star Wars.
This year, students globally participated in more than 1.73 billion hours of code, according to Code.org. The activities offered build upon student skills at all levels, and are designed to encourage students to continue coding beyond the hour.
The Denville Township School District has participated in Hour of Code since its inception in 2013.

Rite Aid is closing at least three New Jersey locations amid reports that it’s planning to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy in a move that could shield it from ongoing opioid lawsuits.
More of the chain's 105 locations in New Jersey could be in peril as well.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the Chapter 11 plans. It would involve the closure of 400 stores, according to Yahoo Finance. Rite Aid posted a net loss of $307 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 2022’s net loss of $110 million.
A Rite Aid spokesperson, when asked Thursday, said Rite Aid does “not comment on rumor or speculation.”
There are 105 Rite Aid stores in New Jersey, according to the company's website. One at 213 South Street, Morristown closed on Sept. 12. Another Morris County site, at 123 East Main St. in Denville, also closed recently.
A third at 1726 Route 37 East in Toms River is closing on Sept. 25, according to a spokesperson.
Rite Aid had not filed a mass layoff notice with New Jersey officials as of Thursday. The filing, known as a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice, typically called a WARN notice, is required for any large-scale job losses.
“A decision to close a store is one we take very seriously and is based on a variety of factors including business strategy, lease and rent considerations, local business conditions and viability, and store performance,” the Rite Aid spokesperson said Thursday.
The New Jersey store closures were first reported by the news site Patch.
NJ business:Party City gets a reprieve: Judge OKs bankruptcy plans. What happens to the stores?
According to news reports, Chapter 11 bankruptcy would address the more than 1,000 state and federal lawsuits the pharmacy chain faces for allegedly contributing to the opioid epidemic by oversupplying painkillers.
The bankruptcy would also cover its $3.3 billion debt load according to the Wall Street Journal report.
The U.S. Justice Department filed a civil lawsuit against the Philadelphia-based company earlier this year, claiming that it violated the Controlled Substances Act by repeatedly filling prescriptions that had “obvious red flags.”
Rite Aid has yet to agree on a settlement with the opioid plaintiffs to resolve liabilities in a potential bankruptcy filing, according to the Journal. A Chapter 11 filing would pause those lawsuits and allow the company to consolidate the claims.
The pharmacy chain has more than 2,300 locations and 6,300 pharmacists in 17 states.
