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 Morris Plains, 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.

MORRIS TOWNSHIP, NJ — Lidl, a German discount grocery store giant, will open its first outlet in Morris County this week.
The grand opening of Lidl's newest shop, located at 191 East Hanover Avenue in Morris Township, is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 13, according to the store's website.
In addition, the first 100 customers in line before that ribbon cutting will get a Lidl’s gift card worth anywhere from $5 to $100, the company said. All shoppers at the Lidl store on its grand opening day can sample Lidl’s award-winning assortment and take advantage of special giveaways, officials said.
"Grand openings are a big deal, so we’re giving you big deals on our favorite items. Come for the fun, stay for the savings," the company continued.
The new store is located at 191 E. Hanover Ave., Morristown, and is part of Morris Marketplace, a 140,000-square-foot shopping center that opened its doors to the public earlier this summer.
The East Hanover Avenue attraction, which has been in the works for four years, will also include an outdoor play area and splash pad, which local leaders hope will entice families to visit the community and shopping center.
To date, 28 businesses have leased commercial space, with 17 of them already operational. Retailers include Starbucks, AT&T, Orangetheory Fitness, Tropical Smoothie, Restore Wellness and Cambridge Wines and a variety of eateries, shops and businesses.
Lidl will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. It provides high-quality vegetables, meat, baked goods, and household products, with new deals released every Wednesday, according to the firm.
The first modern Lidl store opened in Ludwigshafen, Germany, in 1973.
At the time, the small business had three employees and approximately 500 products, marking the beginning of its now-global expansion. The company began opening stores outside of Germany in the 1990s, and within a few years, they were all over Europe.
Now, Lidl operates in 32 countries and employs more than 341,000 people globally, according to the company's website.

MORRIS TOWNSHIP, NJ — Morris Marketplace, a 140,000-square-foot shopping center that has been in the works for several years, opened its doors to the public on Tuesday.
On Aug. 8, Morris Township Deputy Mayor William "Bud" Ravitz officiated at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the property, which combines shopping and dining options with other engaging community spaces.
Morris Marketplace is located at 191 East Hanover Avenue.
The new East Hanover Avenue attraction, which has been in the works for four years, will also include an outdoor play area and splash pad, which local leaders hope will entice families to visit the community and shopping center.
"We are thrilled to welcome so many new business partners to Morris Township. All these new businesses enhance the experience for our residents and those of the surrounding area. We know that The Marketplace will enjoy great success and look forward to celebrating it with all our new friends and partners," Ravitz said.
To date, 28 businesses have leased commercial space, with 17 of them already operational. Retailers include Lidl grocery, Starbucks, AT&T, Orangetheory Fitness, Tropical Smoothie, Restore Wellness and Cambridge Wines and a variety of eateries, shops and businesses.
"With an ideal location on the border of Morris Township and Morristown, we wanted this to be a destination property where commerce and community converge in a welcoming setting," Jack Klugmann, President & CEO of Accurate said.
Morris Marketplace, which combines 140,000 square feet of retail space with various community attractions, is located on the former Colgate-Palmolive corporate campus. Children's play areas, pocket parks, splash pads, seating areas, outdoor dining spaces, and other active and passive recreation spaces will be available.
The space is intended to have a "town center" feel while reimagining what a suburban retail space can become. The 20-acre property is part of a larger, 64-acre development that will eventually become townhomes and rental units in Morris Township and Morristown.
"Morris Marketplace represents a transformative milestone in the retail landscape of Morris Township. Our collaboration with Accurate and the township has yielded a remarkable space where people can shop, dine and connect," Robert Indig, Managing Partner of DeVimy Equities said.
The following are all of the current tenants at Morris Marketplace:

MORRIS PLAINS, NJ — It's never too early to start organizing for the Morris County St. Patrick's Day Parade, one of the county's most anticipated events, which will be led this year by a local.
Jack Haren Jr., a Morris Plains resident, has been chosen as this year's grand marshal for the annual parade by the Morris County St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee.
Haren and his wife Eilleen have lived in Morris Plains for the past 48 years with their three adult children, Christin, Michelle and John.
“We’re very excited to have Jack lead us down South Street this year,” said Mike Leavy, Publicity Coordinator, St. Patrick’s Parade Committee. “His passion for Irish history and culture makes him an excellent representative of the Irish experience in America.”
Haren is a first-generation Irish American who was raised in upper Manhattan by parents from County Kerry and County Clare. He graduated from Fordham University in 1969 and subsequently served as an active-duty Signal Corps Lieutenant in the United States Army for two years.
According to his grand marshal profile, he is a member of the American Legion Post 59 in Morristown and the site organizer for Wreaths Across America, which puts wreaths on the graves of veterans in over 2200 cemeteries across the United States.
Haren's interest in Irish history led him to join the Executive Committee of the Archbishop Hughes Commemorative Project, which commemorated the 200th anniversary of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral in lower Manhattan.
The Morris Plains resident is a member of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick and co-chair of the organization's Heritage Committee, which plans tours to historical locations such as Manhattan's Five Points as well as the Molly McGuire and Irish Famine museums.
Haren retired as Mohawk Fine Paper Company's president in 2017 and now serves as a member of the Morristown Knights of Columbus George Washington Council.
The 2024 Morris County St. Patrick's Day Parade will take place in Morristown on Saturday, March 9, at 12 p.m. Since 1979, the Morris County St. Patrick's Day Parade has been the largest in New Jersey, with over 20 bands and over 4,000 marchers.
The Morris County St. Patrick's Day Parade has been a long-cherished tradition for all residents, dating back to the winter of 1779-1780 in Jockey Hollow, Morristown.
The parade is totally self-funded, with no public funds being used. According to officials, it is completely sponsored by generous donations from businesses and individual sponsors, so there is no expense to taxpayers.
For the past 36 years, the parade organizers have taken great pride in providing a safe, fun-filled day for Morris County citizens and their families to enjoy in Morristown at no cost, and they intend to continue doing so in the future.
