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 Mendham Borough, 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.

MENDHAM, NJ — Mendham Township Middle School officials recently recognized students and staff for their achievements on new U.S. News & World Report education rankings.
The rankings once again show that Mendham Township continues to rank among the best K–8 schools in New Jersey.
Specifically, Mendham Township Middle School ranked number 7 among the top 10 public middle schools in the Garden State.
The news outlet based its 2024 Best Elementary and Middle School rankings on publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Education, focusing on student proficiency in core subject areas.
“U.S. News & World Report showed what we have always known: Mendham Township School District provides an exceptional education for our students,” said Superintendent Sal Constantino. “We’re proud of the faculty, staff, students, and their parents, whose hard work and dedication reflects positively on the district and our town.”
The U.S. News list includes data on more than 79,000 public elementary and middle schools nationwide.
In the analysis, U.S. News looked closely at state assessments of students who were proficient or above-proficient in mathematics and reading/language arts, while also accounting for student backgrounds, achievement in core subjects, and how well schools are educating their students. Student-teacher ratios are applied to break ties in the overall score.
The rankings were based on publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Education and reflected state assessments from the 2020–21 school year—the first school year that followed the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“While we know that there are many factors that contribute to quality schools beyond state assessments, it is nice to be recognized nationally by a media outlet for the hard work of our collective school community,” said Mendham Township Middle School Principal Patrick Ciccone. “I especially want to congratulate MTMS’s faculty, whose teaching and mentoring of our students is reflected in the U.S. News & World Report ranking.”
To be included in district-level rankings, at least two of the top-performing schools must rank in the top 75 percent of the overall elementary or middle school rankings to qualify for district-level recognition.

CHESTER, NJ — Mike Inganamort says his election to the New Jersey State Assembly has resulted in one bittersweet outcome: his resignation as mayor of Chester Township on Tuesday night.
Inganamort, who announced his candidacy with Sussex County Commissioner Dawn Fantasia on Jan. 18, citing the need for "fresh, new conservative leaders in NJ-24," won the Assembly seat during the November election.
"It has been an incredible honor to serve as Chester Township’s mayor and to have served the residents of Chester Township as mayor and council member over the past six years," Inganamort said.
He will officially depart on Jan. 8 and take office in Trenton on Jan. 9.
"While I look forward to serving the people of Chester Township and all of New Jersey’s 24th District in the Legislature and will fight tooth and nail to ensure our needs are met in state government, I will miss terribly serving as mayor," Inganamort said on Tuesday.
This election season, there were two open State Assembly seats in the 24th legislative district, as incumbents Parker Space (R-Wantage) and Hal Wirths (R-Wantage) previously announced their intention to not seek re-election.
Inganamort, who was elected mayor of Chester Township last November, told Patch previously that his decision to run for State Assembly was not premeditated; he made the decision one week before announcing his candidacy.
While he only served as Mayor of Chester Township for one year, Inganamort said that he is proud of what he and his fellow council members were able to accomplish.
On Tuesday, he named some of the following accomplishments:
"We got a lot done in 2023. And building on that foundation, I believe Chester Township is more than ready for the challenges and opportunities ahead in 2024. It may very well be our town’s best year yet – because we have residents who care and volunteers who serve," Inganamort said. "And in me, you’ll have a friend and an advocate in Trenton. So thank you for the extraordinary honor to have served alongside you. I wish I could stay a little longer. But I also know that Chester Township is in great hands."

MENDHAM, NJ — A Mendham Borough school principal has been awarded the 2023 School Leader Award from the New Jersey School Boards Association, the district announced.
According to Mitzi N. Morillo, the Superintendent of Schools of the Mendham Borough School District, Aimee Toth, principal of Mountain View Middle School, was recognized by the Morris County New Jersey School Boards Association on Dec. 7.
Toth received the NJ School Boards Association School Leader Award recognizing her program, “Making the Grade: Painting a Comprehensive Picture and Elevating Conversations About Student Academic Achievement.”
According to the New Jersey School Boards Association, Mountain View has designed a report card to communicate with parents/guardians and students about their academic success in various curriculum areas.
The report card also identifies noncognitive characteristics that may influence academic development. The addition of noncognitive characteristics is designed to reflect an individual student's work habits, which can affect their learning experience in each session.
"This project was many years in the making. The goal was to provide a more comprehensive picture of student achievement, focusing on work habits such as learner initiative and preparedness, and providing parents with periodic feedback in these areas," Toth said. "While Dr. Guskey provided the inspiration, the outcomes were 'homegrown' and were the result of collaboration between the administration and staff. I am proud of this program and appreciate the recognition."
The School Leader Award recognizes innovative and outstanding initiatives and practices in New Jersey schools each year. They seek novel educational programs that address student learning and achievement.
Entries are evaluated based on their level of originality, how well they serve the specific needs of the kids, their relevance to the New Jersey student learning standards, and their results. To be eligible for this honor, programs must have been in existence for at least two full school years.
Toth was one of five districts to receive the 37th Annual School Leader Award on behalf of the Mendham Borough School District.
According to the district, Toth was nominated by Morillo.

MENDHAM, NJ — Last month, the Mendham Laundromat officially shuttered its doors, leaving some residents to wonder what new establishment would be joining the community.
The Mendham Laundromat, located at 84 East Main Street, shuttered and cleared out in August, much to the chagrin of community members who relied on the laundromat as a primary or secondary source of laundry.
With the Mendham Laundromat closed, the nearest self-service laundromats are now located in Flanders and Bernardsville.
Shortly after the closing was announced, a new sign was erected in the shop window, announcing the opening of a new neighborhood bookstore. According to the sign, Chapter One Books will be occupying the space in the coming months.
"Chapter One is a small, local bookstore. Our goal is to bring a cozy, neighborhood store where readers can browse for books and more," the bookstore's website states.
The bookstore is owned by Sophia Maoli, who was born and raised in Mendham.
As of Sept. 1, there has been no official announcement of an opening date for Chapter One.
According to the website, the bookstore will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays.
Residents expressed their enthusiasm for the new venture on social media. "This is Fantastic! Finally, a decent new store," one resident wrote on Facebook. " "Omgosh. This is AMAZING !!! I miss having a bookstore," another one wrote.
Chapter One will mark another new business joining the community, following the recent opening of Dunkin', which opened its doors at the end of August.
The coffee shop, which has been described as a "next-generation Dunkin' restaurant," was first approved for 25 East Main Street in December 2018, following initial public objections to the proposed drive-thru and commercial business.
However, following multiple planning board meetings, the store was constructed to be historically compatible with the borough's standards, which Mendham Borough Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner and other locals felt was very significant to the neighborhood.
The coffee and doughnut shop is open every day from 5 a.m. until 8 p.m.
