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 Harding, 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. From there, we'll create your plan and help you hit your milestones until your quality of life is improved.
With treatments like needling, cupping, Gua Sha, and acupuncture in Harding, NJ, included in your scope of treatment, musculoskeletal relief is right around the corner.
If you're sick and tired of living with painful limitations, our doctors are here to help you live a normal life free of debilitating body issues. No surgery. No addictive medicine. Only comprehensive acupuncture treatments, crafted with health and happiness in mind.

KENILWORTH, NJ - Please see the following information from Harding Elementary School Principal Mr. Ron Bubnowski.

At Harding School we are planning our Halloween celebrations, which will include the annual parade and classroom activities, for Tuesday, October 31st. Please note that our Halloween parade will begin at 11:15 a.m. this year. Students in grades Pre-K through six will have classroom celebrations this year. Classroom teachers are planning these celebrations with their room parents.
October 31st is an early dismissal day due to professional development for staff. Students will be dismissed between 12:30 - 12:35 p.m. Therefore, students may wear their costumes to school in the morning. The costumes that students wear to school should be comfortable enough for them to attend school and also follow the rules outlined below. As stated earlier, our parade will begin at 11:15 a.m. due to the early dismissal. Students will march around the track and then return to classrooms for their celebrations.
Costumes are a fun and festive part of Halloween. However, in order to ensure students safety and the comfort and enjoyment of all, the following rules are in effect regarding costumes at Harding School. Costumes may not be excessively scary or frightening, as our younger students may be upset by this. Students may not bring any toy weapons of any kind to school on Halloween, even if they are part of their costume. An example of this would be a toy sword. These items are to stay home. A students costume should not hinder their vision or their ability to walk safety in our hallways and up and down the stairs.
Thank you for following the Halloween rules set forth in this letter. We are looking forward to a great day with our students. We thank you for helping us to keep the day safe and happy for all.
Sincerely,
Ron Bubnowski
Principal

KENILWORTH, NJ - Harding Elementary School is proud to perform The Wizard of Oz on Friday, April 28, 2023, at 7 p.m. in the Harding School Auditorium.
The show is directed by third grade teacher Mr. Joseph Mills who spearheaded the yearly elementary school production 20 years ago. Mr. Mills brought the idea to the district and since then he has directed a show every year. “I wanted to create an opportunity for the students of Kenilworth to express themselves theatrically, while building, self-esteem and confidence on stage in front of a live audience. This opportunity creates lifelong skills and memories for these students. Very few elementary schools put on a performance of this magnitude. It is what I am passionate about, and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to work with our talented students for the last 20 years.”
What is special about this upcoming production is that Harding School performed The Wizard of Oz 20 years ago. "I felt it would be fitting to celebrate our 20th anniversary with this performance again” Mr. Mills said. Mr. Mills is joined by Ms. Janet Spony, Harding School‘s art teacher, and Miss Gabrianna Boomer, Harding School‘s music teacher. "We are fortunate to have many volunteers including Mrs. Alyse Petracca, who is also is a substitute teacher at Harding elementary. We hope everyone comes out to support the students of Harding Elementary school. Our fifth and six grade students have worked very hard to create this performance, and we are all very proud of what they have accomplished."

The iconic musical includes 19 cast members who are in the fifth and sixth grade. The young actors and actresses are very excited to perform this Friday. Here is what some castmates had to say about why they decided to audition for the show and anything else we should know.
Siena Massa, Dorothy - "I like participating in things at school. Everyone is really nice."
Ramiro Rodriguez, Tin Man - "I am new at Harding. I wanted to do something to get me to socialize here and make new friends. The show is hard. It takes a lot of work. People should know we all put a lot of time and effort in at rehearsals."
Carmine Orlando, Scarecrow - "I like after school programs. I like to sing, and it's really fun for me. I think it is going to be a really good show. We skipped most of our lunches to practice."
Rebecca Harms, Cowardly Lion - "I'm really happy to be in this show. I saw David Brearley plays, so I always wanted to join the theater."
The four principal characters are all sixth-graders and will be attending Brearley next year. The last thing they all wanted to say was "Come Early. It's a free show."
Good luck to the entire cast and congratulations Mr. Mills on your 20th anniversary production!

KENILWORTH, NJ – Get to know Ronald Bubnowski! Kenilworth's Harding Elementary School Principal.
Originally from Union, Ron graduated from Union High School in 1994 and says “it was a great town to grow up in.” After his senior year he furthered his studies and moved to Pennsylvania to major in environmental science at Edinboro University. While home on college breaks Ron worked as a substitute teacher. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts, Ron continued to substitute while earning his master's degree in teaching and learning.
With a strong passion for education and inspiring youth, Ron taught at Burnet Middle School in Union for 11 years while taking classes after school hours to receive another master’s degree in administrative and supervision at Saint Peter's College. "Teaching is an honorable profession. It takes a certain and special type of person to be a teacher."

After receiving this particular degree Ron wanted to get a job close to home and was familiar with Kenilworth. He started as the Brearley Middle High School Assistant principal in July 2009 and stayed at this position until 2012. He then moved on to Harding’s Assistant Principal in 2012 and continued until 2021. In May 2021 Ron was unanimously appointed as the Harding Elementary School Principal.
Ron loves his job and says "It's amazing to see the students start in their first year and when they graduate. I enjoy the days of seeing the kids skip through the halls and then watching them grow up.” In regards to being the principal of Harding, Ron emphatically says “I'm a forever Kenilworth person as long as you will have me. The part of being a principal is that you are a jack of all trades. You have to be able to communicate effectively. To the staff, kids, and parents. The town is very supportive and that is another reason why I love my job."
A family man, Ron met his wife Trisha at college and the love has not stopped since. This summer they will be married for 22 years. Trisha teaches early education and kindergarten but has taught third and first grade. They have two wonderful sons. Luke, an eighth-grader, and RJ a junior. Both boys are heavily active in sports and the scouts. Ron is also a Scout Leader and is "very impressed with the Kenilworth Scout Troop."
When speaking about the town Ron says "I love that Kenilworth is a tight-knit community and that I get to see every kid come through my doors.” When it comes to Ron’s local hot spots he says he cannot choose one or even a couple because there are so many great places to go. However, he did mention in 2021 that the Harding kids voted the best pizza in town went to Big Apple.
Some fun facts about Ron include:
He has been involved with the scouts since he was a kid and even made it to the rank of Eagle Scout.
Ron once took a trip to Philmont New Mexico to stay at the largest Scout ranch in the world with his children.
Gardening is a hobby of his because not only is it soothing and relaxing, but he enjoys being outside. Ron prefers to grow vegetables.
Cooking is another pastime and Ron likes to try new recipes then tweak them to his liking.
Ron has quite a packed schedule, so he does not get as much time to read long books but instead reads a vast amount of school-related articles.
His families happy place is Hilton Head, South Carolina.
On his bucket list, Ron would like to explore Europe one day with his family.
