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 Montville, 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.

CAMDEN, NJ – About 330 jobs will be moved by Campbell Soup Co. to its city headquarters from operations in North Carolina and Connecticut, the company announced Wednesday morning."Over the next three years, the company plans to invest approximately $50 million to enhance its Camden facilities to drive greater creativity, collaboration and career development, as well as to accommodate more than 1,600 employees that will now be located on its renovated campus," the food company that has operated from Camden for more than...
CAMDEN, NJ – About 330 jobs will be moved by Campbell Soup Co. to its city headquarters from operations in North Carolina and Connecticut, the company announced Wednesday morning.
"Over the next three years, the company plans to invest approximately $50 million to enhance its Camden facilities to drive greater creativity, collaboration and career development, as well as to accommodate more than 1,600 employees that will now be located on its renovated campus," the food company that has operated from Camden for more than 150 years said in the announcement.
The snacks division will move to Camden and have a separate section on the Camden campus to be part of Campbell's two-division operating model of meals/beverages and snacks. Campbell said it expects the consolidation of offices will yield savings beginning in fiscal 2024 and reach $10 million a year in fiscal year 2026.

Campbell announced it would construct new buildings and upgrade existing space in Camden. Construction is scheduled to start in March.
The expansion will include a new campus center, a Snacks Research and Development center, and a pilot plant. It will include on-site daycare, a café, complimentary health and fitness center and other services.
"In good times and bad, Campbell’s has remained a constant in Camden for over 153 years. It is such an extraordinary public-private partnership," Camden Mayor Victor Carstarphen said in a statement.
He said that Campbell's last major expansion in 2010 that cost about $132 million "was a catalyst for enhancements to the surrounding roadways, resulted in new infrastructure, and ultimately the development of a commercial office park."
"They are an American icon and an anchor in our community," the mayor said.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy had similar praise: “Campbell is an iconic New Jersey company, and I’m pleased with their commitment to invest and grow in our state.”
Murphy said in a statement that the plan "will create jobs, stimulate economic development, and strengthen Campbell’s roots in Camden where their efforts have played an essential role in the continued transformation of the city.”
Campbell acquired the Snyder-Lance Inc. snacks company in 2018 and most of the operations have been in Camden; Charlotte, North Carolina and Norwalk, Connecticut. Employees from the closing locations will begin to relocate to Camden in the middle of this year. Employees who choose not to move to New Jersey will get severance benefits and job-hunting help from Campbell, a spokesperson said Wednesday afternoon.
The company, with $8.6 billion in net sales in its latest fiscal year, has a brand portfolio that includes Campbell’s, Cape Cod, Goldfish, Kettle Brand, Lance, Late July, Milano, Pace, Pacific Foods, Pepperidge Farm, Prego, Snyder’s of Hanover, Swanson and V8.

MONTVILLE, NJ – An interest in beekeeping led to the subject of Madeline Tubbs’ Girl Scout Gold award – getting along with our small buzzing friends. The Morris County School of Technology/Vocational High School student says her main goal was to inform the public that bees as pollinators are a very important part of our food supply.
“When we support the honeybees socially by having a positive attitude towards them, it supports our food system,” she said.
To this end she spoke at Hilldale Elementary’s Earth Day and to Boy and Girl Scout troops about honeybees and how to be nicer to them. This includes encouraging the planting of pollen and nectar providers like maple and locust trees and chrysanthemums, dahlias, dandelions and marigolds, according to her website lets-bee-friendly.com. Allowing for the growth of dandelions in the spring and calling beekeepers, not exterminators, when unwanted outcroppings of bees show up are other ways to “bee friendly,” Tubbs says.

“A lot of people, when I mention I’m a beekeeper, they think the bees would sting me. It’s valid, but we, as a society, need to recognize the contributions they make. We don’t need to freak out if we see bees on a flower – we can just let the bees be,” she said.
Tubbs says she has been a beekeeper for about two years and she’s “had a blast with it.”
“I’m very new at it, and I have four hives in my backyard in Pine Brook,” she said. “All the interactions with the beekeeping community – they’ve been so kind – it’s a lot of fun. I’ve always been interested in honeybees since I’m a gardener. But it never really launched until two years ago with the help of my parents.”
Her passion for the subject led her to spend well over the 80 hours required for a Gold award, well into the area of 114 hours that she has actually documented although that doesn’t include the time spent taking care of her hives as part of the project.
“It didn’t feel like that many hours,” she said.
