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.

KENILWORTH, NJ - The December issue of Harding Elementary School's newspaper Let's HAWK About It! was recently published. Students Arya Shah and Arjun Shah wrote the following article about the Superintendent of Kenilworth Public Schools, Kyle C. Arlington.
Interview with Mr. Arlington
As the leader of the local school district, Superintendent Mr. Arlington's primary responsibility is to ensure that students receive the best education possible. Mr. Arlington's vision for education is to create safe and engaging environments where students can reach their full potential.

In a recent interview, Mr. Arlington shared that his job involves setting the vision for what school should be like for kids, ensuring that schools meet students' social, emotional, and academic needs, and supporting teachers and administrators in decision-making and problem-solving.
"I've always wanted school to be a certain way for students," Mr. Arlington said. "I wanted to see if, by serving as a superintendent, I could help make my vision for the school a reality."
Despite the rewarding nature of his job, Mr. Arlington acknowledges that it is not without its challenges. Making difficult decisions and having difficult conversations can be tough, but Arlington relies on his values and beliefs to guide him through these situations.
"Even if I know the decision won't be popular, I make it anyway if it reflects who I am and what I believe in," Mr. Arlington said.
Balancing work and family life can also be a challenge for Mr. Arlington, who has a daughter, Kinsley, and a son, Sawyer, as well as a wife, Janine, and a dog, Harley. However, he is looking forward to spending a full week with his family during the holiday season.
"I love spending time with my family - always," Mr. Arlington said. "Being a superintendent often means spending less time at night with them. So, I'm excited to spend a whole week with them uninterrupted during the holiday season."
In addition to his work as a superintendent, Mr. Arlington is also continuing his own education by taking classes at night in New York City to become a better teacher.
"No matter what holiday you celebrate, I hope the Harding School Community has a great holiday season!" Mr. Arlington said in closing.
We thank Mr. Arlington for sharing some details about himself and his amazing job. Mr. Arlington and the entire Newspaper Committee wish you a Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.

HOLMDEL, NJ — The township has been awarded a county open space grant of $272,000 for Bayonet Farm Park improvements, including the Harding House.
The funds are through the Monmouth County Municipal Open Space Grant program, according to a letter from Monmouth County.
"That's a big deal - the township did a good job," said Karen Strickland of the Citizens for Informed Land Use, a Holmdel organization that supports environmental protection and holds Earth Day events at the site.
The Township Committee in July passed a resolution to apply for the Monmouth County Municipal Park Improvement grant.
The township had been seeking 50 percent grant funding of $340,000 for improvements to Bayonet Farm Park, including the Harding House and other park facilities, half of a planned $680,000 project.
Township Administrator Jay Delaney said no decision has been made as yet on either scaling the project to reflect the partial grant award and phasing it over one or more years, or committing additional local funds to complete the project as initially planned.
"I expect to be in a better position to recommend a plan going forward after we meet with the County Parks staff and better understand the grant timeline and other specifics," he said Thursday.
The county told the township in a letter it will set up a meeting to review the grant details.
Total park improvements were envisioned at $680,000, the township has said. The park is at 71 Middletown Road and consists of the house, plus two barns. The house was owned by the late heiress Laura Harding.
Strickland has said previously that the township last year repaired flashing around the chimney and replaced the heating system, making the home more comfortable. A new roof will provide even more protection. The grant could also fund other improvements, such as widening a doorway for ADA access, Strickland said.
You can read more about Bayonet Farm and the Harding family and estate here.
The Monmouth County Municipal Open Space Grant program began in 2003. The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners approved an Open Space Trust Fund and established the municipal park program to provide grant funds "in connection with municipal park improvements, development, and redevelopment projects."
