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 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.

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.

"The YES vote will allow the district to borrow money through the sale of bonds to gain upfront funding and the benefit of state aid for these critical improvements", said Madison Board of Ed President Sarah Fischer back in October. "The sweeping approval will make the district eligible for $21.9 million in state help toward the costs – and a voter-approved referendum is the only way to secure this state aid",Fischer explained.
"This is money Madison residents already paid to the state that can only be brought back to invest in our schools through a voter-approved referendum", said school officials.
In a statement posted to social media, The Board of Education stated they are "grateful to the Madison community for voting and look forward to the improvements that will continue to support our students’ academic achievement in a healthy, safe and inviting learning environment"

Press release from the New Jersey Jazz Society:
SUMMIT, NJ — The New Jersey Jazz Society is pleased to announce it has been awarded a $2,750 grant from The Summit Foundation to support nine Sunday afternoon Jersey Jazz LIVE! performances. The concerts are held at the Madison (NJ) Community Arts Center and include two segments — a main concert by seasoned professionals and a Rising Stars opening act featuring high school or college jazz studies students.
The Jersey Jazz LIVE! concerts bring into the community performances by jazz professionals who combine musical presentations with an appreciation of the history and legacy of America's original art form. Recent events have included tributes to vocal legends and female jazz pioneers. The February 2024 concert focused on Black History Month by highlighting some classic musical compositions that defined important jazz styles throughout decades of the music. Some of the musical pieces performed also demonstrated how iconic jazz artists dealt with social justice. The March 2024 concert will be a tribute to vocalist Sarah Vaughan in the month of her centennial birthday.
The Rising Stars opening acts have not only provided a venue for emerging artists, but also an opportunity for music students to interact on the bandstand with seasoned jazz artists.
The New Jersey Jazz Society (njjs.org), founded in 1972, is a non-profit organization of business and professional people, musicians, teachers, students, and listeners working together for the purpose of advancing jazz music. Its mission is to promote and preserve America’s original art form – jazz. The Society seeks to ensure continuity of the jazz art form through its commitment to nurture and champion local talent, along with showcasing outstanding national and international artists.
The Summit Foundation (summitforever.org) serves the community by growing and granting philanthropic resources to address local needs. In the past 10 years, it has invested $10.3 million in the community through grants, scholarships, donor-advised distributions, and special purpose funds.

Heather Shelby and her family, who lived at 91 Woodland Road in Madison since 1976, made the difficult decision to sell the home after her mother was diagnosed with dementia.
“My mother first forgot who I was five years ago,” said Heather Shelby. “I lost any lucid time she had left during the pandemic when her care facility went into complete isolation.”
It was a tumultuous time, worsened by the fact that their home — known as the Wingate House — was historic, built in the 18th century. As the eighth family that had ever lived there, the Shelbys not only believed they were caretakers of a local landmark, but some of their best memories of their mother were bound to the home. They sought a buyer that would promise to preserve the Colonial-era home where some believe General George Washington marched by en route to ending the war in Yorktown, Virginia.
“Mentally she‘s not here. But I always thought as long as the house is there a piece of her would always be there,” Shelby said.
So the Shelby family sold the home this past April to Steve McCann, owner of Historic Homes by McCann, a development company that specializes in restoration. All seemed to go according to plan. However, Madison’s town historian Scott Spelker informed her family weeks ago that the new owner had applied for a demolition permit. Needless to say, the Shelby family felt betrayed.
“We left antiques with them, including an antique cradle my mom used to rock us in because they had just had a baby,” Shelby said. “We left a doll that my mom had handmade.”
Madison has a small collection of surviving 18th-century homes. One of them — the Sayre House at 31 Ridgedale Avenue — is individually listed on the National Register. Five others on Ridgedale Ave, have landmark protection as part of the Bottle Hill Historic District.
The Wingate Home was never landmarked, although the family had considered it. “We talked about that as a family and we were concerned about how much time it would take,” Shelby said. “We had to put time and money toward my mom’s care. If we weren’t facing what we were facing, we would have.”
Shelby also said that, because the house was in need of repairs, she feared a landmark designation could scare off potential suitors who might not want to deal with a preservation commission’s oversight.
“It didn’t seem like the best way to get the house sold,” Shelby said.
A handful of homes in Morris County share a common history as places where Revolutionary War soldiers and generals were quartered. New Jersey was a major battleground because it was located between the two strongholds, Philadelphia and New York City. At the Sayre House, there is evidence that General Anthony Wayne was billeted there. Most famous is Jockey Hollow in Morristown where General George Washington overwintered. The Shelbys believe the Wingate House could have been used as an inoculation clinic based on a painting that was commissioned by the home’s first owner. Though that claim hasn’t been substantiated yet.
Without a local, state, or national landmark designation, there is no legal maneuver that can prevent the demolition. The town historian Spelker, who organized an online petition, has been trying to persuade McCann, even inviting him to a public forum.
“I was just trying to appeal to him that he could go down in history as the guy who saved a Revolutionary War house in Madison,” Spelker said. “I want to put the word out there for everyone to know. Because with enough groundswell of support maybe, just maybe, the builder will decide not to tear it down.”
The news of this proposed demolition comes in the wake of the loss of an 18th-century home in Maplewood, Jersey Digs reported. Spelker, who is a realtor, said that tearing down a historic home on a large acreage for the purpose of building a subdivision is common. But tearing down one a small lot and replacing it with a newly built one is a fairly new phenomenon in real estate.
“It doesn’t usually make financial sense to tear them down,” Spelker said.
8/26/23 Update:
Since publication, Mayor Richard Conley published a statement claiming that the township worked with McCann to save the home, but said township’s construction official “determined the house was stucturally unsound and unsafe.”
“The poor structural integrity also made relocating the house to another site impossible,” Conley said.
McCann told the Madison Eagle that after two different inspections, it was determined that the historic building didn’t comply with the current building code, meaning the renovations “would be so extensive that any historical components of the house would be lost.”

MADISON, NJ — After more than five years of serving up classic BBQ in Morris County, owner Matt James has announced the impending closing of Daddy Matty's BBQ, much to the chagrin of his regulars.
The eatery, located at 6 Elmer Street, Madison, will be closing its doors officially on Nov. 18, officials said.
"It's been a good run for us here in Madison and we're looking forward to our next chapter," James said. "It's been a real joy to be able to get to this point in the evolution of Daddy Matty's. This whole place got started in my backyard, cooking for friends and family. It's funny that this restaurant now, and the backyard that we enjoy here, is really just an extension of the same party that I threw in my house while I was teaching myself how to smoke meat and do it well."
The restaurant, best known for its variety of BBQ options, announced its future closure abruptly on social media.
James, who has been a Madison resident for 19 years, did not cite a specific reason for shuttering the Madison location but did announce plans for a future relocation to another area, but the timeline for that was not made public.
Despite not having a new location lined up, James said that it made sense for them to close down the Madison location right now.
Daddy Matty's officials said that the business operates with the motto "Everybody Eats," which captures their commitment to sharing and helping out the local community. Since 2014, they have provided thousands of meals through their partnership with the Morris County Interfaith Food Pantry.
"We wanted to create a place that gave back to the community as a part of its DNA and so our partnerships with the Morris County Interfaith Food Pantry and other organizations in the area, there's a lot of importance to me, being able to be an effective contributor back to the local community," James said.
The news of the closure came as a shock to its customers, with one commenter saying, "A great run. Gonna miss one of my favorite Madison spots," and another saying "Aw, I just found you guys too and was so excited to share your great bbq with friends and family."
To celebrate their final two weeks of being open, Daddy Matty's will have live music performances on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, officials said. For more information, click here.
"In one respect, this is the closing of a chapter but it's not the finish to the book," James said.
