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.

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.

The Den Brook Trail in Denville has officially opened, offering visitors a one-mile rustic path that runs from Openaki Road in the state-recognized Ninkey Forge Historic District to a small neighborhood park owned by the township on Mount. Pleasant Turnpike.
The official opening was marked by a ceremonial ribbon-cutting at the local park, which included Mayor Thomas Andes, Councilmembers Glenn Buie and Gary Boroweic, and several other township and Morris County officials. Construction of the trail, largely funded by the Morris County Trail Construction Grant Program, began in late 2020.
“The Township of Denville has acquired over 1,300 acres of Open Space over the last 25 years and has always hoped to develop a trail system. Several years ago, the Path and Trail Committee working with our Open Space, Recreation and various other groups developed a Trails Master Plan,” said Mayor Andes.
One project in the master plan was the Den Brook project, which cost a total of $372,956. The Morris County trail program provided total of $315,876 to the township through two grants that allowed the trail to be built in two phases.
“Denville is very thankful to receive funding from Morris County in two consecutive years to complete the trail from Openaki to the Den Brook Playground on Mount Pleasant Turnpike. This picturesque, one mile gravel path along the Den Brook is a delightful stroll, with a perfect ending at a small playground for young children,” Mayor Andes added.
Joining the ribbon-cutting were Denville Open Space/Trails Coordinator Jane Garvey, township trail Committee Members Sue Schmitt and Darlene Golinski, and Township Administrator Steven Ward. Also there were Morris County Parks Planning and Development Coordinator Denise Chaplick and former Denville Councilwoman Stephanie Lyden, a founding member of the township trails committee.
Morris County Commissioner Deborah Smith, a Denville resident and former Denville council president, took a stroll on the completed trail a few hours before the official ribbon cutting.
“This really is a beautiful trail, and I think people will be surprised at how peaceful it is here walking along the brook. This is exactly the type of accessible, neighborhood trail our Morris County Trail Construction Grant Program was designed to create, and we have found over the years that many different trails are connecting from town to town. This trail is very close to other open space areas,” said Commissioner Smith.
The Openaki Trailhead of the Den Brook Trail is a short distance from the entrance to the Randolph Trail System entrance at the James Andrews Memorial County
Park.
The Den Brook Trail is generally flat with a few easy rolling features. There are foot bridges located along the path where the ground becomes naturally saturated, and there are three spur trails that lead into adjacent residential neighborhoods.
Signs also have been placed along the path so visitors can learn about wetlands and the local flora and fauna. Furthermore, the trail passes by a picturesque, abandoned historic mill located in the middle of Den Brook.
The Morris County Board of County Commissioners has issued more than $4 million to build and enhance more than 23 miles of a growing network of local trails since 2016, after voters overwhelming approved dedicating a portion of the Morris County Preservation Trust Fund annually toward recreational trail development. Morris County made nearly $1.8 million in grants available in 2022 for recreational trails, and applications submitted by the July deadline are currently under review.
Trails became a source of refuge during the pandemic, with national trail and hiking organizations estimated usage grew by 200 percent nationwide since pre-pandemic years. The Morris County Park Commission, which has a separate county network of more than 253 miles of trails, reports three to four times as many visitors are making use of the park system’s pathways.

DENVILLE, NJ – A Denville restaurant wants the township’s permission to create an outdoor dining area.
The Denville Zoning Board is scheduled to hear the application by Sogo Restaurant at its Sept. 21 meeting. Sogo Hibachi Restaurant, owned by Yuda, LLC, needs site plan, use and bulk variances from the Denville zoning ordinance.
The establishment is at 248 Route 46 West.
It is seeking approval in order to permit outdoor dining at an area that would have a pergola structure “to remain over the outdoor seating area,” according to the zoning board meeting agenda.
The company is also asking for approval to install trash enclosures and related site improvements, according to the agenda. It needs the bulk variances in relation to the number of parking spaces at the site and set-backs from its rear yard neighbors.
Also on the agenda is a proposal by Prince of Peace Lutheran Church to subdivide its property at 20 Knoll Drive so it can “produce a single-family lot while maintaining the house of worship on a smaller portion of land,” according to the meeting agenda.
The church needs variances and waivers related to lot width, setbacks, steep slopes and conditional use in the zone.
The zoning board meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m.

DENVILLE, NJ - Navy women's rugby travels to Denville for a neutral site contest versus American International College Saturday at 11 a.m. The match will be held at Pocono Road Field.
"We are excited at the opportunity to get on the road and compete against American International College this weekend, who won the NIRA Division II championship last year," said head coach Murph McCarthy. "We are meeting them in Denville to save some time for both teams with travel and appreciate the support of the Morris Rugby Club and the Township of Denville."
Recap of First Varsity Win Navy rugby had another monumental moment back on Sept. 10 with the women's team defeating Lander 44-0 for its first win as a varsity program. Chelsey Washington scored the first try in varsity history in just the second minute and continued to be a huge factor in the first half. Washington made a great pass to set up Nilah Williamson for a try in the sixth minute and then scored her second try of the match in the 19th minute. Williamson also set up Marissa Meyer for a score in the 27th minute. Ana Olszewski scored a try in the 39th minute to push Navy's lead to 25 at the half.
After being held scoreless for nearly 20 minutes in the second half, captain Eliza Herring scored her first try of the season in the 59th minute. Tries from Joy Ochieng and Nicole Deprey would cap off the scoring for Navy in its season opener.
Washington Does it all for Navy Chelsey Washington was the top scorer in Saturday's matchup, scoring two tries to finish the match with ten points. What wasn't recorded on the stat sheet was Washington's two key decisions when making a pass, which led to another two tries from Williamson and Meyer in the first half to help Navy establish a four-score lead.
Herring's Toughness Proves Vital Team captain Eliza Herring had to deal with an unexpected challenge in the season opener, suffering a bloody nose in the 17th minute. Herring was right back into the action eight minutes later and continued to be a force offensively and defensively for the Mids. Herring took on as many as three Lander defenders when trying to advance the ball at times on offense, while also being the centerpiece of Navy's defense. Her efforts were rewarded in the 59th minute when she scooped up a mishandled pass and scored her first try of the season.
Scouting American International College The Yellow Jackets come into the matchup 1-0 after defeating New Haven 86-0 in their season opener back on September 1. AIC shocked the rugby world last season after winning the NIRA Division II National Championship. After losing to West Chester and Queens in the regular season by a combined score of 70-17, the Yellow Jackets defeated Queens 22-20 in the semifinals and West Chester 29-17 in the championship match to claim the school's first-ever national championship for a women's program.
