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.

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 Lincoln 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.

JERSEY CITY, NJ- The Jersey City Municipal Council is moving to make traffic and parking changes in areas near Journal Square and Lincoln Park.
The Jersey City Council introduced an ordinance at its September 8 that would prohibit right turns on red signals at the intersection of Duncan Avenue, Mallory Avenue, and Lakeview drive at the Northeast corner of Lincoln Park.
The purpose of this ordinance, advocates for it said, is to update traffic and parking regulations as part of the Duncan Avenue bike lane project, which will convert the existing conventional striped bike lanes into a protected two-way cycle-track on the Southern side of the street.

The ordinance would also prohibit parking at all times on Duncan Avenue from Route 1 & 9 to Lookout Drive.
Additionally, the City Council has also introduced an ordinance that would permit on-street parking on the West side of Baldwin Avenue between Washburn Street and Route 139.
Currently, on-street parking is prohibited on Baldwin starting at Prospect Street and continuing until Route 139. The proposal would end that ban at Washburn Street, allowing on-street parking on the West side of the street until Baldwin Avenue reaches Route 139.
At the Caucus Meeting on September 5, Ward C Councilman Richard Boggiano asked Director of Traffic Engineering Jennifer Wong if residents at recent community meeting earlier in the day were on board with the changes being made. Wong confirmed they were okay with them.
The ordinances will likely be up for a public hearing and final vote at the next meeting of the City Council. That will be on September 20 at 7 p.m. at City Hall at 280 Grove Street, with more information at jerseycitynj.gov.

NEWARK, NJ — The Lincoln Park restoration project is receiving an infusion of $3.55 million in funding from the $1.7 trillion federal spending bill approved last year.
“I am personally grateful for Senators (Cory) Booker and (Bob) Menendez’s commitment to Newark’s ongoing revitalization and redevelopment, and to our shared vision of ensuring that the City’s long-time population will still have a place as change occurs,” said Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka.
Booker and Menendez secured the funding for the Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District, which is overseeing the much-needed facelift to Lincoln Park, a National Historic Register landmark that has served a wide array of the city’s residents for more than 300 years as one of Newark’s original colonial-era ‘Commons’ public gathering places – the South Commons – renamed as Lincoln Park to commemorate President Lincoln’s visit to the area in 1861.

The Lincoln Park Restoration Project is the transformational centerpiece of a five-year planned reemergence of the Lincoln Park Neighborhood as an artistic, energetic, healthy and empowered community.
“The park improvements will include infrastructure for arts, music and cultural programming and festivals; respite and seating areas; park restrooms and upkeep of green spaces for youth and families to play. The upgrades of Lincoln Park will also enable more diverse programming for the park which will enhance vending and other economic opportunities for minority and women-owned businesses," Anthony Smith, executive director of Lincoln Park Coast Cultural District.
“Thanks to their advocacy and support, the redevelopment of Lincoln Park will not only enhance the economic vitality of the city, but will also provide affordable housing, additional employment opportunities, and enhanced access to the arts for our residents," Baraka said.
Hundreds of community projects across New Jersey are being funded by this federal bill. "These vital projects will create jobs, stimulate economic activity, and keep New Jersey families healthy and safe," said Booker, who served as the 38th mayor of Newark from 2006 to 2013. "I am proud to have fought to ensure this funding was included and am grateful for the organizations, community leaders, and elected officials who are working tirelessly to advance these critical initiatives."

Summer is here and so is the opening of one of Hudson County’s newest event venues. The View at Lincoln Park, located at 201 Lincoln Park Drive, is part of a long tradition of entertainment spaces in one of Jersey City’s largest Parks. The View opened in Spring 2023, marking the newest chapter in this unique location’s history. The Hoboken Girl spoke with Jeanne Cretella, President of Landmark Hospitality, the company that owns and operates The View to learn more about what to expect.
In February 2021, Jersey City Planning Board approved the design of The View, located at 201 Lincoln Park Drive, near the Communipaw Avenue entrance to the park. The official groundbreaking ceremony was held in May 2021 and work has been underway since. The opening of The View is just around the corner, according to Jeanne Cretella.

Jeanne Cretella is President of Landmark Hospitality, the company that operates The View at Lincoln Park in partnership with Hudson County. Landmark Hospitality also operates several other restaurants, bars, hotels, and properties, including the Liberty House, Hudson House, and Felina Steak restaurant in Hudson County.
While the venue itself is something special, Jeanne says that the location on its own is an attraction. “The spot was always a monumental event space in Hudson County,” Jeanne said. “As the former location of Casino in the Park, it has a tremendous history in Hudson County. Anyone who has lived in Hudson County over a certain amount of years remembers celebrating something there. Either their own celebration or someone else’s.”
According to Jeanne, “In recent years, the building deteriorated and it really needed to be refurbished. The county is totally committed to the community of Lincoln Park. There is a phenomenal golf course in the park, and the monumental fountain is really reminiscent of something you’d find in Europe. It feels like you’re not in the US.”
Jeanne continued, “When [the county] decided to invest in what had been Casino in the Park, they agreed that it would be best to take it down and start over. We’re thrilled to have partnered with the county. It’s unlike anything that is in the county and we feel really strongly that it will be the most phenomenal space that any county in the state.”
Jeanne said, “It’s super special in its design, we purposefully dedicated to name it The View. Both Liberty House and Hudson House are known for their views. The view in Lincoln Park may not be of the skyline but the view is magical. We really feel confident about that name. That it was the right name. A lot of people thought that we’d keep the previous name, but we wanted the new space to have its own identity.”
The View will be 20,000 square feet when it is completed. The space can fit over 300 people, and has the capacity to host two events simultaneously. The architectural centerpiece of the property is a rooftop deck with a bar on the top floor, and another deck on the second floor, offering incredible views of the park.
Events Director Vivian Bifulco has been with Landmark Hospitality for 13 years and is coming to The View from Liberty House. She said that the third-floor roof deck will have a bar, in addition to the event spaces. “It’s really going to be something,” she said. “Especially once the weather gets better, it will be incredible.”
Lincoln Park was founded in 1905 and is 273 acres in size. The western border of the park is the Hackensack River, and the park is criss-crossed with walking trails, dotted with tennis courts and basketball courts, and has two soccer fields among other recreation amenities. The park is in the center of a residential neighborhood. Jeanne said that in designing the venue, the team thought carefully about how to minimize disruption in the neighborhood.
“Within the park there are several parking lots, and we have a shuttle service between the venue and those lots,” Jeanne said. “But we’re finding that less and less people are driving to events. Many people use car sharing. People are very conscious about drinking and driving.”
Between the use of car-sharing services and the popularity of hotel shuttles, things have really changed. “The amount of traffic generated by a wedding is substantially less than it was ten years ago,” Jeanne said. “We have a dedicated space for cars to queue up for pickups and dropoffs.” Further, working with event hosts will help to mitigate the congestion that could happen with a lot of cars. “With planning ahead, we generally know how many cars will be parking, how many ride-shares will be used, etc,” Jeanne said.

Jeanne also said that The View will be a job creator for the community, “With any kind of hospitality event, a lot of hands are needed to execute events,” she said. “And as a local hospitality business, we like to hire from the community,” Jeanne said that over 100 jobs will be created, and they look forward to hiring from Jersey City and Hudson County as a whole.
“Our culinary team is totally committed to working with the Hudson County Community College,” she said. “We have a great relationship with the school and really believe in giving opportunities to people who are passionate about the industry.” Jeanne is the Vice Chair of the Hudson County Community College Foundation, which promotes the college and its students as well as developing financial resources. “I feel strongly that hospitality as an industry provides jobs for people who live in the communities in which venues are located,” she said.

LINCOLN PARK, N.J. -- The rain may have stopped, but the flooding affecting communities is far from over.
Chopper 2 flew over Morris and Passaic counties on Tuesday afternoon and offered a bird's-eye view of the communities underwater.
Yards have turned into rivers and CBS New York talked to families who said flooding in their area is normal, but not like this. Many said it's the worse they've seen in more than a decade.
Streets have now become rivers in Lincoln Park. Many homes are now under water.

The Amin home on River Edge Road is flooded. The family's couches and living room are soaked and destroyed.
"Everything is already under water, like the bathrooms, the beds, the furniture. Everything is under the water," Manna Amin said.
The family spent Monday night on the top floor of their flood-ravaged home that they say they just moved into, adding they were frightened and confused all night.
"We have a bed upstairs, so we stayed there until we booked a hotel and now we are going to go," Manna Amin said.
They got out by walking through muddy waters, wearing just slippers.
"My leg is red right now," Hoda Amin said.
They said they packed what they could in bags and did not eat all night.
"I don't have any food," Hoda Amin said.
"I got a couple of plastic bags," neighbor Cesar Romero said, adding when asked if he expected the flooding, "No, really, no."
Romero made it out of his home, but was preparing to go back with better gear.
"Kind of special suit because for that one because I have my cats over there," Romero said.
Hours earlier, Chopper 2 was over a house fire just blocks away. Fire officials said a woman was able to escape after calling 911.
A couple witnessed the chaos as firefighters tried to get through.
"We saw trucks going up and down because that side of the house is also like full of water, so it was very difficult for them to get here," Helen Marchesini said.
It's why they've got their boat ready in case they have to help others.
"It could get much better or really bad really quickly," Lautaro Marchesini said.
Firefighters spent the day rescuing residents. They warn them not to try and go back through the flooded roads, adding if anyone comes across a barricade, not to try and drive or walk through it.

North Jersey residents should prepare for heavy rainfall and potentially significant river flooding and flash floods with the arrival of the next major storm, starting Tuesday afternoon and going into late Wednesday morning, meteorologists say.
The area is expected to see anywhere from 2 to 4 inches of rain, with Morris and Passaic counties seeing the heaviest rainfall, between 3 and 4 inches.
Meteorologist Bryan Ramsey of the National Weather Service said heavy downpours will likely lead to numerous flash floods and some significant river flooding.
There is potential that flooding from this storm could near the amount seen during December's intense rainstorm that caused major flooding, evacuations and school closures around North Jersey.
"Somewhere around the ballpark of what we saw last month is probably a good gauge at this point," said Mike Lee, another meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "We're still creating the forecast and working with other forecast centers, but we're expecting some significant flooding from this event, so something near to around what we saw last month is accurate."
As of Monday morning, North Jersey had been placed on a flood watch by the National Weather Service. The flood watch is set to remain in effect from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday afternoon.
The Raritan River and the Passaic River are the top concerns of meteorologists at the moment, but they said any small streams or rivers have the potential to flood.
Additionally, the snow that is still on the ground from the past weekend's winter storm could increase the likelihood of flooding, Lee said. The combination of packed or melting snow and an already saturated ground will likely lead to additional runoff into rivers and streams.
Snow melt is likely, as temperatures are expected to reach the low to mid-50s before falling into the low to mid-40s on Wednesday.
If you live in an area that regularly deals with flooding, it is important to be prepared ahead of such a storm.
The National Weather Service is asking that people "monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop."
The Morris County Office of Emergency Management sent out a statement Monday morning acknowledging the potential for flooding.
"We are concerned with our streams, creeks, and rivers reaching flood stage as well as the potential wind gusts forecast for tomorrow night at 40 to 50 mph, which could be enough to bring down some limbs and/or power lines," said Jeffrey Paul, director of emergency management for the county.
"We are asking the public to pay attention to local municipal messaging and follow the guidance and recommendations of the local municipality," Paul said. "Stay safe!"
