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 East Hanover, 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.

Demolition of the former U.S. headquarters of the global pharma giant Novartis in East Hanover was on hold this week as the developer announced it will propose a scaled-down project to replace the modern industrial park approved by the township in 2021.
A spokesperson for developers R&O East Hanover said Thursday that the company "is presenting an as-of-right redevelopment of the former Novartis property which requires no variances and proposes a smaller/less intensive project that the historical site use."
The announcement comes after the township planning board rejected an application last month for Novartis to subdivide a 17-acre portion of the property it still owns there.
R&O announced it had acquired 62 acres of the Novartis campus in 2021. At the time of the sale, the company planned to demolish 900,000 square feet of empty office space on the campus, including the iconic eight-story tower that sits atop a corner knoll on Route 10.
Groundbreaking on two new "modern industrial space" buildings there, ranging between 300,000 and 500,000 square feet, was anticipated before the end of 2022.
Demolition of campus buildings began last year. Many of the buildings along Ridgedale Avenue, on the west end of the campus, are gone, but the tower remains.
Novartis representatives told the board they had a buyer for the 17-acre parcel on the east side of the campus who planned to renovate the existing buildings there for tenants in the life science technology field.
The board rejected the application, with members expressing concern about inconsistencies with the township master plan and the lack of road frontage.
Novartis still continues operations in neighboring buildings to the south. The entire 202-acre Novartis campus prior to the sale was assessed at $425 million in 2021 and generated $10.2 million in property taxes for the township, tax records show.
Regardless of the outcome, the tower is still slated for eventual demolition.
"Demolition of the existing structures began last fall and should be completed over the next several months," the R&O spokesperson said. "We look forward to proceeding with our proposed development once the approval process has concluded."
Sandoz, based in Switzerland, acquired the property in the late 1940s after outgrowing its offices in New York and began construction on the first buildings there in 1950.
Sandoz became one of Morris County's leading employers when it opened its East Hanover research facility in 1964. It merged with Summit-based Ciba-Geigy in 1996 to form Novartis. The company still has 4,800 employees assigned to the East Hanover campus, and 16,000 statewide, a Novartis spokesperson said.

QuickChek opened a new store and gas station just off Route 10 East in East Hanover on Tuesday.
The 5,869-square-foot store will be open 24 hours a day, complete with a gas station, fresh-brewed coffee, all-day breakfast, lunch and dinner, including made-to-order subs, wraps and salads.
There's a no-fee ATM and 61 parking spaces, plus parking for two oversized vehicles and outdoor seating for 16 customers. The store is located at 235 Route 10 in East Hanover.
Customers will be able to treat themselves to pumpkin spice-flavored coffee for a limited time. You'll also be able to shop for household items like milk, juice and eggs.
There’s hot and iced coffee, and all-day breakfast items, including breakfast sandwiches with English muffins or waffles.
To celebrate the grand opening, QuickChek is offering one free cup of coffee per day for seven days starting Aug. 15 to QuickChek Rewards members at the East Hanover store.
East Hanover shoppers new to the QuickChek Rewards program get up to four weeks of special offers. Week one includes offers a free fountain drink or coffee at any size. Week two includes offers a $1 breakfast sandwich. Week three includes offers 50% off any six-inch sub. Week four includes offers 50% off any fresh snack item.
According to a press release, the store is expected to bring in between 35 to 45 new local jobs.

Russ Mensch, a spokesperson for QuickChek, said plans are in the works for a QuickChek in Scotch Plains towards the last quarter of 2023. There are 145 QuickChek stores in New Jersey.
QuickChek, being open 24 hours and serving freshly prepared food all day and night, helps serve people with diverse lifestyles and routines, he said.
"Nine to five doesn’t exist anymore," said Mensch. "Anyone, such as an ambulance driver getting off shift at four in the morning, can get the same sandwich as the person customizing their sandwich at four in the afternoon.”
As of late July, competitor Chester Heights, Pa.-based Wawa has 283 stores in New Jersey, mostly concentrated in South Jersey. Spokesperson Lori Bruce estimated that another nine Wawa's will open in the state this year.
But Wawa — home of the Hoagiefest and a new pizza menu — has a long way to go before it could in the convenience center wars of Morris County, where QuickChek is still king.
While it may seem like a lot of stores on paper, it’s really not, explained Arturo Osorio Fernandez, a management and global business professor at Rutgers University.
“If placed on a map there is a geographical pattern of service-overlap on highways and heavy traffic areas,” he said in May. “Yet you will also see that they have no real overlap. Each brand serves a different area. And there are even areas that are not served by either of them.”
Wawa “is considered to be an NJ store by locals,” Fernandez said, despite being based out of Pennsylvania, “because of its largest presence in the area.”
With QuickChek, he said, “the brand is linked to green practices and transparency, [t]hus presenting itself as a more environmentally conscious business that seeks to provide freshness and convenience.”

In the 150-mile-long foodie thrill ride that is New Jersey, you can satisfy any culinary craving, from açai bowls to zeppole doughnuts.
Yet there’s one style of dining out that’s not so easy to come by in the Garden State. And that is Chinatown-style eateries: no-frills spots whose mainland-born chefs prepare authentic, regional Chinese dishes for primarily Asian-American diners. You know the genre: low prices, minimal decor, off-the-charts flavor.
A smattering of these elusive places have made it onto foodies’ treasure maps, such as Authentic Shang Hai Dumpling in Edison and Shan Shan Noodles in Parsippany.
As the Year of the Dragon swooped in earlier this month, I heard about another Chinatown-esque find flying under the radar. I fervently hoped that this potential hidden gem, tucked into a strip mall off Route 10 in East Hanover, would help patch over New Jersey’s Chinatown-less plight.
Lo and behold, A & J Bistro checked all the Chinatown boxes (except the Holland Tunnel toll and parking hassle). Plan a visit on a weeknight or an off hour; this day-to-night 52-seater fills up. Bring your Chinese food-fancying friends and your chosen quaff to this beckoning BYO, where the highest-priced dish is $12.50. (My menu favorites are listed below.)
I spoke with Josephine Lin, who owns A & J Bistro with her husband Terry Chang. In 1997, they moved from Taiwan’s sophisticated capital, Taipei, to East Hanover to study information management at Fairleigh Dickinson University. They got married, commenced business careers, and opened A & J Bistro in 2013. “We thought we could earn more than working in an office,” says Lin. Family inspiration figured in their career pivot. For 50-plus years, Chang’s parents have owned the well-regarded Ban Yu Muan restaurant in Taipei. And his brother runs his own A & J Bistro in Irvine, California, just south of Los Angeles.
A & J’s menu is mainland Chinese and Taiwanese, while its cooks and courteous servers are “from all over China,” Lin says. “70 percent of our diners are Asian-American, mostly Chinese and Taiwanese.” The other 30 percent are “New Jersey people who love real Chinese food,” she notes. Asian-American or not, “Our customers come back because our food is completely authentic,” she says. “Everything is made fresh daily, and nothing is packaged or frozen. Our noodles taste just right because we make them in-house. Our soup broths, sauces, spices and flavors are exactly what you’d get in Taipei, Hong Kong or Shanghai,” she promises. “Customers tell me that A & J is just like eating in China. They say, ‘This is the taste of home.’” Here’s a BYO toast to Chinatown-style Chinese food finding a welcoming home in New Jersey.
• Zha Jian Miang: Wide noodles with pork and black bean paste • Dan Dan Mian: Spaghetti-size noodles in irresistible sesame-peanut sauce • Hong You Chao Shou: Wontons with spicy Sichuan sauce • Da Bing Juan Zhu Ru: Pan-fried pork pancake • Zua Bing: Pork snack with “thousand-layer” flaky crust • Yan Su Ji: Popcorn chicken • Ma La Huang Gua: Pickles with hot pepper
