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 Kinnelon, 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.

KINNELON, NJ - Meet your leader: Councilman Sean Mabey
Councilman Sean Mabey grew up in Butler and moved to Kinnelon in 1985. He took over his parent’s business that originated in 1971.
In 2018, Sean was approached by now Mayor Jim Freda to contribute to local politics. After giving it some thought, Sean decided to take action in 2020.

“I want good people that want good things, not just doing it to have the title. Things happen when people don’t get involved,” said Mabey when asked about his motivation to run for council.
While having no previous political experience, Sean felt that people follow leaders. He compared this type of leadership to the practice he had gotten throughout his years of coaching athletics.
Mabey expressed that as a newly elected councilman, he initially experienced feelings of isolation from other members and explained that communication was a challenge. As a result, he focused on facilitating growth within the council by encouraging fellow community members who shared his vision of better communication (and the common goal of “doing what is best” for Kinnelon) to run for town council.
When asked about some of his accomplishments since becoming a council member, he explained that in addition to filling the council with principled people he had a hand in a variety of advancements in the Kinnelon community.
One significant enhancement was the septic installation at the Boonton Avenue Recreation Facility. He explained that Kinnelon had initially leased but recently purchased this facility. While leasing, it was furnished with simple “holding tanks” for the restrooms. These holding tanks required evacuations which was costing the town (taxpayers) thousands of dollars a year. After the purchase of the facility, Mabey donated his own time and tools from his company, M&B Septic, to install a septic tank which eliminated that costly annual evacuation expense.
In addition, this past year, an increase in the cost of trash collection has increased expenses. Every municipality has faced these unfortunate large increases. Councilman Mabey found a way to decrease the cost, resulting in a projected overall savings for the town of between $100,000-120,000 this year.
“Kinnelon is on a path of being smarter economically for the future. We are making smart investments,” said Councilman Mabey.
Beyond those achievements, Mabey also shared his success in creating the Veterans Day Event that is held annually on November 11th. He also implemented Veteran banners to be installed in municipalities around the state.
Aside from his position as councilman, Sean Mabey expressed that he is proud to be a father of three. When he isn’t working or contributing to the community, he enjoys spending time at the beach with his family. He loves fishing and riding wave runners with his kids. He also enjoys snowmobiling with them in New York State.
“I love my kids and I love spending time with them,” said Mabey.
When asked about what to anticipate in the near future for Kinnelon, Mabey gave some insight.
“Every municipality has to face affordable housing. We are going to face that in some regard. We just hired two professionals, Elizabeth McManus and Bob Benecke, to help guide us. We want the best deal for Kinnelon. Because of these two professionals, I'm confident we'll be able to navigate this. We’ll get the best deal for Kinnelon and make most people happy, ” said Mabey.
An additional goal of Mabey’s is to utilize town investments to create recreational facilities and enhance communication with residents.
“Right now we are working on better communication with the public, we are engaging with alert developing news. We’re in the process of doing that with Nixel and TAPinto Tri Borough,” said councilman Mabey.

A homeowner in Kinnelon, New Jersey, is about to find out what happens when you cut down a neighbor’s trees.
Tree law is a subject of interest in online communities like r/legaladvice, so much so that there’s even an often-shared comic about the subreddit’s enthusiastic response. The potential penalties in these cases can make them very satisfying to read about.
Twitter user Sam Glickman (@SamAsIAm) recently took to the platform to share a story relayed by the borough forester involved in the case, later identified as John Linson by Northjersey.com.
As Glickman explained, the alleged culprit, also identified by the local outlet as Grant Haber, “cut down 32 big mature trees on his neighbor’s New Jersey property to get a better view of New York City. He hired a guy who hired another guy.”
Unfortunately for Haber — but fortunately for the rest of the U.S. — most states have laws against cutting down another person’s trees since they’re so hard to replace, so valuable, and so important for purifying our air. Sometimes, the laws protecting them can be quite vicious.
“The fine per tree is $1,000, so the guy probably thought he was going to just pay a $32,000 fine,” Glickman said. “But the arborist wrote violations to all three parties, 96 in all, and there’s a provision requiring the replanting of like trees ‘of the same size.’”
In other words, the culprit and both the people hired to do the task may be held legally responsible for replacing the trees they removed — not just planting new saplings, but actually transporting full-grown trees to the victim’s lot and making sure they survive being transplanted.
Since trees are so big and so hard to move without hurting them, the process comes with a hefty price tag. According to Glickman, the victim had been in touch with the only company willing to do the job.
“They have to build a road, remove the debris, plant big trees, and water them for two years,” Glickman said. “He quoted $1.5 million. And additional fines total $400,000.” If true, that would bring the grand total price tag for cutting down 32 mature trees to almost $2 million.
A preliminary hearing in the Kinnelon Municipal Court was held on June 27 over Zoom, Glickman said.
“Zoom was overwhelmed,” he explained, adding that some viewers were “asked to leave so the prosecutor could log in.”
The session was rescheduled to July 18 after Haber’s lawyer requested additional time to review information related to the case.
When reached by Northjersey.com, Linson would not comment on the social media price estimate for replacing the trees other than to say it was “slightly exaggerated.”
“I am only able to state that 32 trees were removed without a permit,” he told the outlet.

[KINNELON, NJ] - Meet your Leader! Mayor Jim Freda has lived in Kinnelon for 21 years with his wife of 30 years, Marianne. The two built a beautiful family with their son, Gavin, attending Indiana University (as a Junior) and their adorable family dog, Brooklyn.
Mayor Jim Freda's success has stretched far beyond what many could imagine. He keeps busy running two Goddard schools [locations in Montclair and Sparta] owning a Fantastic Sam's hair salon in Kinnelon, and recently sold his deli, “A Taste of Reality,” after 28 years of operation. Despite his busy schedule, he continues to selflessly devote his time to the community which he loves.
His introduction to the political arena began with an interest in simply wanting a turf field in Kinnelon. Working in his deli (A Taste of Reality) at the time, many customers expressed a common desire for Kinnelon to have a turf field. With this peaked interest, he began to advocate for this advancement. After community members witnessed his tenacity to work for something they all wished to obtain (turf field) they began to encourage him to become involved on a more political level. Shortly thereafter, Freda ran for council with his platform focusing on the community. After his victory, he proudly served the Kinnelon community as councilman.

During his time in this position, he created “K-Fest” and began to see a greater vision for the town. Freda expressed that the beauty of Kinnelon came from its residents. His vision was to make Kinnelon similar to the beloved Mayberry Street from The Andy Griffith Show. His passion behind this mission was driven by his hope that this particularly amazing community would continue to be an enjoyable place where the community could connect with each other.
He later made a run for mayor and has served proudly for five years. Within those five years he implemented the Kinnelon Farmers Market and the town carnival. The town carnival is now optimizing its use as it has become a successful fundraising opportunity for the community, specifically, the high school football team.
Mayor Jim Freda enjoys providing these life-like opportunities to the youth of the community. In addition to assisting with the fundraiser for the high school football team, he has created a “Mayor-of-the-Day.” This event is a fun day when leaders from Stonybrook Elementary School tour town hall and get the feeling of what it is like to be a Mayor.
Freda is fueled by the community's success. When asked about what Kinnelon can anticipate in the near future with his leadership he spoke about his plans to build a community center.
The community center would ideally be next to KRP [Kinnelon Recreation Park] field, and would provide a place for all ages, from senior citizens to children, to enjoy recreational activities.
The love that Mayor Jim Freda has for this town is nothing short of extraordinary. When asked about what makes this town so special to him, it was no surprise that he discussed the community and the way the community comes together. “I always say whenever there is a situation or any type of horrific event, our town always steps up for each other. That’s what I love about Kinnelon. The town is always there for each other,” said Mayor Jim Freda.

Dave Mango relocated to Kinnelon in 2017 with his wife and daughter. He is the Superintendent of Kinnelon schools and a proud Kinnelon dad.
“Who I am personally is the same person I am professionally. The staff knows that when they’re talking to me, they are just talking to Dave,” said Mango.
Dave explained he pursued a career in education as a result of previously experiencing the impact of good educators.
“What propelled me into education was my high school vice principal, guidance counselor, and coach; they all gave me so much that when I left there I wanted to give back. By the end of my senior year I knew that I wanted to make a positive impact,” said Mango.
Since becoming superintendent, Mango has implemented new technology infrastructure upgrades and a full-day Kindergarten program. Pre-K and speech services have been added to the top floor of Sisco Building. Google Classroom will be utilized across the district. High school students will be receiving new Chromebooks. The athletics department added new fencing around sports facilities, including around the bleachers. Lastly, the weight room renovation has begun, and all former equipment will be donated to charity.
In addition to those advancements, Mango instilled upgrades to safety and security as he feels safety is a priority.
“No matter where I've been or the position, I've always valued security. You have to have security,” explained Mango.
The safety improvements included revising new security signage, partnering with Eastern DataComm for a lens visitor management system, adding surveillance to Sisco building, adding vestibular in areas throughout the district, and extending technology further to the school’s fields.
The district applied for the “ROD” grants for partial roof replacement at Kiel School and Stonybrook school.
Additionally, Kinnelon is anticipating a security grant worth up to $500,000. If the grant is approved, taxpayers would only pay 60% of improvements and the state would pay for 40%.
Mango also changed district policy to require all students to wear student identification in their lanyards (grades 7-12) in efforts to enhance safety.
With all the new developments within the district, Mango expresses appreciation for the Kinnelon Board of Education.
“We have an outstanding board of education, they are committed. They work around the clock with me. We are in this together,” said Mango.
Dave Mango is looking forward to the school year and leaves us with a message to the community:
“School is not the same without students and staff. We are missing the laughter, the cheers, the smiles, and honestly the noise. We look forward to having our students and families come back and return to our buildings, as we are excited to embark on the 2023-24 calendar year.”
