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.

With a systematic treatment plan, patients can find help for painful symptoms like:
Professionals practicing acupuncture in Madison, 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.

NEW YORK—After a pair of wins in the Philly 4 Lacrosse Classic last week and newly minted as one of the top-10 teams in the country in both national polls, Villanova earned a pair of weekly honors from the BIG EAST in an announcement made by the conference office on Monday afternoon. Fifth year standouts Matt Campbell (Madison, N.J.) and Will Vitton (Summit, N.J.) were recognized as the BIG EAST Midfielder of the Week and the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week, respectively.
The awards for Campbell and Vitton are the second time this season that they each have received that particular honor. Through the first five weeks of the 2023 campaign the Wildcats have earned weekly recognition from the BIG EAST a total of 11 times. Villanova has won each of the league's major weekly awards (Attack Player, Defensive Player, Midfielder, Freshman) at least once to go along with four Honor Roll selections. The recognition for the team's individual performances comes as the Wildcats are off to a 5-1 start to the season. Villanova has matched its best start through six games since 2018.
Campbell was the top point scorer for the Wildcats in wins over Drexel (14-7) and No. 15/16 Penn (9-8) last week. In a narrow victory over the Quakers on Saturday at Franklin Field he scored the game-tying goal with 1:46 to play as Villanova overcame a late two-goal deficit. Campbell was the Wildcats lone player to score two goals in the Penn contest and he added an assist in the game for a three-point day. Earlier in the week Campbell registered one goal and three assists in the Drexel win.
It has already been a record-setting year for Campbell, who became Villanova's all-time leading goal scorer during the Hofstra game on March 4. He currently has 132 career goals which ranks third among all active Division I players. Earlier this season Campbell was named to the weekly BIG EAST Honor Roll on February 13 and earned BIG EAST Midfielder of the Week accolades on February 27. He has garnered weekly recognition from the conference 11 times during his career.
Vitton had an outstanding week in goal and made 21 saves in two games while allowing only 16 goals. He had a 7.66 goals-against average and a .583 save percentage in the Wildcats two wins. Vitton reached double figures in saves in both the Drexel and Penn games, including making 11 stops in the slim victory over the Quakers. He has made 10+ saves four times this season and 33 times during his career. In the two games last week Vitton made 12 of his 21 total stops in the second half, including seven fourth quarter saves.
One of seven graduate students on this year's Villanova roster, Vitton is the NCAA leader among active Division I players with more than 2,900 career minutes (2,922:03) in goal. His 574 career saves are the third-most among active Division I goalies and that total is also fifth in school history. Vitton ranks second in the Wildcats record book with 31 wins during his career.
Villanova will play its fifth straight game away from home this coming weekend when it travels to Monmouth for a 2 p.m. matchup.

TRANSPARENCY Within Q1 2023, update the website to once again include basic information related to the governance and operations of the pool, including:
ENGAGE Members Prior to opening, and ideally as soon as possible, engage in an open dialog with the community about current concerns and suggestions for improvement. This could be in the form of written feedback, an in person meeting, or another of your preference. In any case, a dialogue is needed and would likely benefit all parties.
INCREASE REPRESENTATION Prior bylaws required 10-20 Trustees to constitute the Board but this number appears to have been revised down to reflect the current 7 members in 2021 (maximum limit still 20). Within the current fiscal year, we request you to nominate and elect additional Trustees to once again achieve a minimum of 10, ideally 12+. This will help further engage with the public and bring fresh ideas to the future operations and governance of the pool.
By engaging openly with Members and the community we believe the Madison Community Pool can remain a treasured summer destination for decades to come.
Thank you for your consideration.

MADISON, NJ — Following ongoing discussions about a district policy, a group of parents recently urged the school district to maintain a safe environment for transgender students during a Board of Education meeting.
Recently, a local parent group has voiced their opposition to the state transgender student policy in the Madison school district, even asking the board to consider proposed policy edits, which the board rejected.
The school board reaffirmed its commitment to the state policy, saying that any changes to it would contribute to the marginalization of local transgender students.
During the time for public comment at the board meeting, Cassie Jennings, a sophomore at Madison High School, spoke before the board and expressed her frustration with the ongoing discussions.
"I came here tonight because sometimes I think that adults in town don't realize that kids hear what you're talking about, and my friends and I, especially my trans friends, are really upset and scared when we hear that there are adults who want to change the transgender policy," Jennings said.
In Jennings' opinion, the existence of the policy gives the transgender community additional assurance that the school district is looking out for their interests. Jennings also lauded Madison High School Principal David Drechsel for his dedication to the protection of the LGBTQ+ community.
"I know that the issue of bathrooms has come up at the past board of education meetings and as a student at MHS, I want to say that bathrooms are such a small part of the school day... However nervous a cis kid may be to use the bathroom when a trans kid is in it, I promise that a trans kid is even more scared of being questioned or teased," Jennings said.
According to the school district's website, Policy 5756, titled "Transgender Students," was first adopted by the Madison school district in 2015 and then revised in 2019. The policy's goal is to establish guidelines for schools in addressing common issues concerning transgender students' needs.
One of the more contentious provisions of the policy, in the eyes of some parents, is that it states that the school district shall accept a student's asserted gender identity and that parental consent is not necessary.
"There may be instances where a parent of a minor student disagrees with the student regarding the name and pronoun to be used at school and in the student’s education records. School staff members should continue to refer to the student in accordance with the student’s chosen name and pronoun at school," the policy states.
This point was raised by a couple of parents and adults at previous board meetings, who stated that it does not seem right for teachers to lie to parents about their children if asked, and asked that the board be upfront about how such a situation would play out.
According to Mark Schwarz, Superintendent of Madison Public Schools, the school district would be unable to discuss those specifics with the public because each potential family case is handled differently depending on circumstance.
"Our policy allows a pretty good amount of flexibility and emphasizes the importance of coordinating with families. We recognize that we have to be very delicate if we ever do identify a circumstance where a child is identifying one way in school and the parents may not be aware of that," Schwarz said.
A woman named Beth, whose last name was inaudible on the meeting video, praised the board for standing up for transgender children and ensuring a safe space for all students to feel empowered to be themselves.
"The district supports our students regardless of how they identify in any category, and especially our transgender students. We absolutely support their well-being, we create safe spaces for them every day. We want them to know how much we care about them and stand by them," Schwarz said.

According to Ehrlich, Madison's climate goals are derived from NJ's energy and resiliency goals. The recommendations presented on Monday evening included which also includes a recommendation for a report to be updated each year, proposing actions the Borough can take to meet climate goals
Presented on Monday night were 9 recommendations organized into five objectives
In response to questions regarding who gets to decide on money being spent, Ehrlich said, "the nature of the climate action process is that every year recommendations will be set forward to the council, the governing body and then the council will make decisions about what our budget priorities, what is our spending plan, where do we want to invest and where do we need to hold off. Flexibility is baked in to this process."
Council member Eric Range likes the climate change recommendations. Range also pointed out that there is nothing that says homeowners need to rip out an existing gas stove or a gas furnace from the wall. The recommendations don't force people to "do something they don't want to do", he said.
Ehrlich agreed and said, "that will never be a recommendation".
"We can lead by example and people can choose to follow or not", said Range. "If we don't start leading by example, there will be no example to follow.
