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 Florham Park, 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.

We've been hot on the campaign train for the past few months supporting local candidates as they meet and greet voters in towns and counties across New Jersey.
My friend Mark Taylor is running for re-election as mayor in Florham Park and we spent the afternoon last Thursday meeting voters in two great locations in the Morris County town.
One stop, SLIK, is not only a top-shelf hair care establishment, but the owners are experts and have on-site training for people wanting to get into the industry. They are a great example of strong, successful entrepreneurs who are equipped to deliver a great customer experience.
The second stop was at a fantastic restaurant across the parking lot where the pizza has been rated as some of the best in the nation.
Owners Jose and Kelly run a great business. It's an experience that allows you to grab a haircut and an old-school straight razor shave complete with a reclined comfortable chair and a hot towel.
Jose is a trainer who can also get newcomers to the industry the proper training to get licensed and work. The lounge is inviting and decorated well, giving off a vibe that you'd rather hang out than rush out. Complete with pics of historically famous people getting a haircut and an expert staff, including their partner and stylist, Curtis, who is ready to invite you in and have you feeling like a million bucks.
Chef Owner Andrew Horowytz is running one of the best casual Italian restaurants in New Jersey. He's a great chef, a friendly family man and an outstanding entrepreneur.
The place was packed for lunch and everything from chicken parm to pasta to their top-rated "grandma's pizza" is on the menu.
It's delicious and as you can see from the picture, half was gone as we walked across the parking lot.
Even barstool sports weighed in on the deliciousness.

FLORHAM PARK — As the final seconds ticked down, Katie Schmitt counted them off.
"Three... two... one..." When the buzzer sounded, she raised her arms.
Schmitt, a 19-year-old from Morristown, was running through drills at the New York Jets' training facility to celebrate the launch of New Jersey's newest flag football league.
The NFL team already sponsors the North Jersey girls' flag league, which is in its fourth season. On Wednesday, the Jets and Special Olympics New Jersey introduced a new Unified high school league.
Unified programs blend athletes with intellectual disabilities and neurotypical partners. There are more than 250 Unified Champion schools in New Jersey, supported through funding from the U.S. and state education departments.
Morristown, Morris Knolls, Roxbury and West Orange will play six regular-season games in the pilot program. The Jets will host the playoffs back at Florham Park on May 29.
"It was so good. I'm tired," Schmitt said. "I've never done this before."
Her younger brother Noah Schmitt is a junior wide receiver and defensive back for Morristown, and helped his classmates go through offensive and defensive drills on Wednesday.
"They don't really get to do this kind of stuff," he said. "Getting to see them, it's a big event."

Girls' flag football was defined as a club in New Jersey for its first three seasons, but has been upgraded to "pilot sport" status by the NJSIAA for at least the next two years. Nine states sponsored 913 girls flag football teams in 2022-23, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations survey, with 361 in Florida, 198 in Georgia and 138 in New York.
The Jets sponsor nearly 200 high school girls flag programs across New Jersey, lower New York State and Long Island – including the North Jersey league, which has grown from the original eight to 52 teams. There were 83 New Jersey schools with flag programs last spring, according to NJSIAA Executive Director Colleen Maguire.
Jefferson, Montville, Morristown and Mount Olive represent Morris County.

The Jets will provide the Unified teams with uniforms and practice jerseys, footballs and flag belts, along with grants to defray other costs.
Morris Knolls sophomore Val Pulido brought her own football on Wednesday. As the Golden Eagles rotated through the different stations, she shyly asked for autographs from all four Jets players on hand: center Joe Tippmann, linebackers Quincy Williams and Marcelino McCrary-Ball and defensive lineman Tanzel Smart. They also signed Morris Knolls' Unified flag poster.
"It's cool. It's big," Pulido said, looking around the high-ceilinged indoor facility. "Flag football is my dream."
The NJSIAA offers Unified basketball and bowling in the winter and track and field in the spring. However, it is not presently involved with the Unified flag program, according to a spokesman.
"It's something I wish I'd been able to do when I was a kid," said Tippmann, who demonstrated a nifty spin move the kids tried to emulate in a one-on-one drill.
"I started with flag, but getting to be in this facility, this environment, to be able to meet and be around pro athletes, it's something I wish I could have done."

FLORHAM PARK, New Jersey (WABC) -- After an Uber Eats driver was arrested in Florham Park last month, an officer decided to complete the food delivery -- but was surprised at the customer who was behind the door.
Officer Mike Zvolensky was on routine patrol on Jan. 21 when he stopped a car around 8:30 p.m. on Felch Road.
Police say a random plate inquiry showed the driver had an outstanding warrant.
The 60-year-old driver was arrested when it was determined she had a $1,000 bail traffic warrant out of Denville Municipal Court.
Officer Alex Tredy didn't want the Uber Eats customers to go hungry, so decided to complete the McDonald's food delivery.
Bodycam footage showed him trading his badge to help residents in a different way.
Tredy didn't know it at the time, but it turns out that customer waiting for the food ended up being Nicole Snooki Polizzi's husband Jionni LaValle.
"He was definitely surprised but he understood the situation, and was very thankful of the kind act that we did," Tredy said.
After officers arrested the Uber Eats driver, they parked her car at the Florham Park Memorial First Aid Squad so it wouldn't get towed.
"If we can take that extra step and give them that sense of peace and dignity and respect, we're always going to take that," Zvolensky said.
Unfortunately Tredy didn't score a tip for the extra duty.
"We can't accept tips as government officials, we do it out of the goodness of hearts," Tredy said.
And he said he has no plans to change careers.
"I enjoy my job and obviously got into the job to help people," he said.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Aaron Asedo’s outlook on golf revolves around much more than just the golf swing. A successful player himself, Asedo understands that there are other components to the game to help achieve one’s goals. With that vision in mind, Asedo created Florham Park Golf Club to help elevate the training experience for all golfers.
FPGC is an indoor golf facility equipped with top-notch technology to elevate your golf game and wellness journey.
“I've always been a creative person and always a bit of an entrepreneur where I've had different businesses along the way. Having worked at golf clubs and moving into teaching roles and being a director of instruction - I've always liked helping my students,” Asedo explained. “Also, over the years of working out, health, fitness and wellness, taking care of myself, I wanted to do something bigger and call it my own. Florham Park Golf Club is a culmination of all of my passions into one.”
Asedo has made stops at several noteworthy golf clubs in the area and his experience has helped lead him to this point.
The opportunities at FPGC are plentiful. Asedo offers lessons on state-of-the-art TrackMan simulators. To tap into the health and wellness space, stretching, massages, a sauna and cold plunge are all available as well.
"I designed this facility with a lot in mind,” Asedo added. “I’m TPI (Titliest Performance Institute) certified and having different training backgrounds, working on the health and wellness - I think that's the differentiator. The work that we do here with our clients - having a facility that encompasses the performance, from the physical standpoint as well as the golf, and tying it together, that's what separates us.”
What has made FPGC so unique is its focus on player experience, transporting each visitor away from their busy everyday lives.
“It's a space where people feel that they've kind of disappeared for the day,” Asedo said. “That they're at a spa or a luxury resort for the day. A lot of our members talk that way when they keep coming back.”
FPGC also offers three different membership options; Junior Membership, Associate Membership and Founding Member, which all feature different privileges and benefits.
With a background in furniture design, Asedo has curated FPGC to fit a sleek and modern facility – fit for players of all levels all while creating a welcoming and lively environment.
“This is a place where I can help all of our students, provide an atmosphere where people are working on themselves, taking care of their health and also enjoying a bit of a social scene.”

Construction is nearing completion on 173 McGuinness Boulevard, an eight-story residential building in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Designed by Issac & Stern Architects and developed by Guy Peleg under the Artlife 173-175 McGuinness LLC, the 80-foot-tall structure will span 27,509 square feet and yield 24 rental units with an average scope of 836 square feet, as well as a 35-foot-long rear yard. B.O.S.S. Associates Inc. is the general contractor for the project, which is situated on a 4,375-square-foot interior lot between Meserole Avenue and Calyer Street.
Recent photos show the main eastern elevation facing McGuinness Boulevard clad in red brick surrounding a grid of floor-to-ceiling windows with dark mullions. Stepped setbacks above the fifth floor are lined with glass railings for terraces, and the volume behind them is finished in flat gray paneling. The ground floor remains unfinished behind sidewalk scaffolding.
The southern lot line wall is mostly blank with the exception of four narrow windows on the top floors toward the rear of the structure. Façade work is ongoing on the opposite corner of this wall, where a gap remains following the recent demolition of the abutting low-rise neighbor to make way for another residential development at 161 Meserole Avenue.
The below photo shows the roof parapet lined with a metal railing and a stack of balconies protruding from the western profile.
The closest subway from the property is the G train at the Greenpoint Avenue station.
173 McGuinness Bouelvard’s original completion date was slated for last winter, though YIMBY now expects work to finish up near the end of this year.
