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 Mine Hill, 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.

MINE HILL - A popular natural spring has closed its gates, citing the high cost of mandated testing as the reason for shutting down the Canfield Avenue watering hole.
The water at Artisan Spring Hill at Canfield still runs as it always does, but now in addition to being protected from non-members by a steel cage, it’s under heavy lock and chains, preventing anyone from accessing the spring.
Tuesday, the gate appeared to be damaged and a box at the front of the cage contained pieces of paper with a statement from the Paschal family, the spring’s owners for nearly half a century, about the immediate closure of the spring.
“Due to the high cost of New Jersey mandated drinking water tests, we are forced to permanently close the spring immediately,” read the statement.
“The water laboratory projected the cost for fourth quarter water testing to be $540 – same as it was last quarter. We cannot afford to continue covering this cost, and have to avoid further fourth quarter water testing fees. We cannot legally provide this water without testing and reporting the results to the state of New Jersey.”
The costs for people to access the spring was a requested $10 donation per quarter, plus an initial $10 membership fee and security deposit.
“It is with deep regret that we can no longer keep the spring open, but donations could not come close to covering our mandated operating costs, and we can no longer afford to carry it,” the statement concluded. “Thanks to those of you who contributed on a regular basis and tried to keep the spring available to all.”
The spring’s website, http://www.springhillatcanfield.com/, which contained testing results and other information, is also no longer operational.
Phone calls to the number previously on that website are now greeted by an automated message, saying it closed due to high cost of testing on Nov. 2.
According to the website “Find A Spring,” Spring Hill was discovered by the Paschal family more than 30 years ago and produces about 125,000 gallons of water per day. It is one of less than a dozen New Jersey springs listed on the website and the only one in Morris County.
The water from the spring is 49 degrees year-round, and flows from a crack in a granite ledge.
Mottel Baleston stopped by the spring to fill three jugs Tuesday afternoon, and was disappointed to find it closed.
“I thought I had until December 31 to fill,” Baleston said, referencing a mailbox on the fence surrounding the spring that states a closing date of Dec. 31, 2015. “I just started using it four months ago and paid for the year.”
Baleston, 60, of Roxbury said he was saddened to see the spring closed, but not angry.
“Last time I was here there were three other people in line to fill jugs so there is a demand for it,” Baleston said. “It’s very good water, an important resource for the community.”
There may still be hope that the cage reopens to the public though, according to Mine Hill Mayor Sam Morris.
“The town would like to discuss with the owner possibly buying it after New Year’s,” Morris said. “It’s apparently very good water and I am hopeful we can have a meaningful discussion with them.”
The spring’s owners could not be reached for comment.

MINE HILL, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- A family in Morris County was left with a major bill to pay, after a history of mining in their town came back to haunt them.
As CBS2's Meg Baker reported, a giant sink hole just 14 feet from the family's Mine Hill home opened up last week. It's a remnant of an old mine that existed long before West Randolph Avenue did.
"I was coming home from work and walking up the steps and I noticed the big hole in the side of the yard," Andrew Kauf said.
He discovered the 19-foot deep hole on December 30. The next morning he said he was woken up by a loud thud. The hole had gotten bigger, creating another smaller opening.
The family was on pins and needles, afraid that the house will fall in.
Engineers assured them that will not happen.
The house has been in the Kauf family since the 1970s. He said he knew about old mines dating back to the Revolutionary War, but never expected after all these years that one would open up.
"A few houses down basements fell in," he said.
Luckily there were no gas lines below, and other utilities seem to be a safe distance away, but the cost to fill the hole is high at $10,000 and up.
Large boulders are needed, and it's not cheap to transport them.
The mayor said the Kauf's sink hole isn't the only one. Another one, about 20 feet deep, was discovered by someone walking their dog.
Sam Morris has been the mayor for five years.
"Since I've been mayor seven active holes that opened up, three residential, four on non," Morris explained.
Support beams were visible in the woods off Canfield Avenue.
"What you would call entry hole to mine shaft, clear hole in the bed rock which is what you need to get through to the iron ore," Morris explained.
The mayor has been working with state officials to find remediation funds.
"In the early 90s one of the governors thought it was a good idea to stop contributing to this and New Jersey opted out," Morris said.
State Senator Tony Bucco acknowledged that this is a serious issue.
"I have already engaged environmental and labor officials to identify adequate funding to provide to the community," Bucco said.
For now, Kauf is left to deal with the issue on his own. He's hoping that forecast rain over the weekend won't cause more damage.
Sinkholes from old mines are an issue in neighboring Rockaway Township, Randolph, Chester Township, and Ringwood.

MINE HILL TOWNSHIP — The body of a naked infant boy was found at a private recycling facility in the township on Tuesday. On Friday morning the investigation continued, but local and Morris County officials were not releasing details.
The body was found by a recycling center worker at ReCommunity Recycling on Iron Mountain Road, according to one of two sources with knowledge of the investigation.
There are two recycling centers on Iron Mountain Road, in an industrial portion of the township, located in Morris County. The ReCommunity plant manager told a Daily Record reporter the company is cooperating with authorities regarding the matter and referred all questions to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office. He would not give his name or further details.
Prosecutor's Office spokesman Paul Merkler said the investigation is ongoing and no further details are being released at this time.

Larry Gindoff, executive director of the Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority, said his agency has a contract with ReCommunity under which MUA workers collect recyclables from about 14 municipalities and drop them off at the facility. There, Gindoff said, recyclables are sorted by machinery.
The MUA delivers 11,000 to 13,000 tons of recyclables annually to the facility, which Gindoff said also has customers from elsewhere in Morris County as well as Sussex and Warren counties. He said he believes it would be impossible to tell which hauler deposited a load that contained the infant's body. He said the MUA collectors do not inspect the recyclables they pick up because sorting is done at ReCommunity.
"It's incredibly sad," Gindoff said.
ReCommunity consists of two, two-story rectangular buildings connected by scaffolding. Bales of recycled products are visible through front windows and the front entrance of one of the buildings. On Friday, early afternoon, trucks were on site unloading recyclables into a loading bay.
An autopsy to determine cause and manner of death of the baby would be standard procedure in the investigation.

MORRISTOWN — The former treasurer of the Mine Hill Fire Department was sentenced today to three years in prison for stealing $330,000 from the department over a six-year period.
Lisa Ayers, 40, of Mine Hill, pleaded guilty in October to theft, admitting that she embezzled the money regularly from 2007 through 2013 and used it for personal expenses, including her family’s mortgage and two car loans.
Under terms of the sentence handed down by Superior Court Judge Stuart Minkowitz in Morristown, Ayers must pay $228,631 in restitution and must serve nine months before she will become eligible for parole.
She may also apply for admission into the state’s Intensive Supervision Program, which would allow her to be released from prison a few months earlier than her parole date.
Ayers’ attorney, Paul Selitto, had asked that Ayers serve probation only, noting that she has already repaid more than $100,000 and stole the money only because she was “desperate to provide for her family,” which includes her husband and two daughters.
Crestfallen by the judge’s ruling, Ayers wept profusely as she was placed in handcuffs afterward. “I love you all,” she told numerous family members who were crying in the courtroom.
Earlier, Ayers had apologized to the court for her actions, saying, “I made a huge and terrible mistake.”
Deputy Attorney General Anthony Picione had asked for a five-year sentence. He said Ayers embezzled the money hundreds of times and the discrepancies were discovered after she failed to repay a loan for a new roof at the fire station.
The thefts included 53 checks totaling $77,661 to pay the mortgage loan on her home, more than $22,000 in payments for two car loans and 224 ATM withdrawals totaling $68,000, Picione said.
“People do various things when they are in a financial hardship,” Picione said. “Not everyone chooses to steal.”
