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 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 County, state and local elected officials mingled today with leaders of the Interfaith Food Pantry Network, Family Promise of Morris County, the Morris County Continuum of Care, the Morris County Department of Human Services and many other service providers in the county’s first Community Resource Networking Event.
Held on the grounds of what is known as the Morris County Nonprofit Mall off Central Avenue in Parsippany Township, the gathering included approximately 30 Morris County government and nonprofit agencies that provide support services for most vulnerable residents in the community. The service providers help people in need of housing, healthcare, behavioral health, family services, food security, and much more.
“The goal of today is to provide an opportunity for public officials in Morris County to meet and get to know the people behind more than two dozen nonprofits and agencies that serve the neediest people in our community,” said Director Tayfun Selen of the Morris County Board of County Commissioners as he opened the gathering.
“We hope everyone leaves here understanding more about the challenges some of our residents face each day in getting some of the basics in life -- such things as having a place to live, getting something to eat each day, transportation, finding medical care and keeping safe from abusers. We also hope our municipal leaders leave here today knowing more about who to reach to assist their residents in need,” Director Selen added.
More than 100 representatives of local government and the nonprofit agencies attended the gathering.
Carolyn Lake of the Interfaith Food Pantry Network said the networking event was crucial, explaining that many of the services provided by the nonprofits and county are not well known to local officials. The event provided an opportunity for them to connect with mayors, health officers and leaders from all 39 of Morris County’s municipalities.
The event was organized by Lake with Rebecca Butz of Family Promise and both Allison Delcalzo-Berens and Alicia Alvarez of the Morris County Continuum of
Care, with the assistance of Kasey Errico, director of the Morris County Department of Human Services, and members of her staff.
The Morris County Office of Temporary Assistance, Morris County’s Navigating Hope Mobile Unit and the Morris County Sherriff’s Department’s Hope One Mobile Unit joined the networking event.
Celebrated Sept. 15 Through Oct. 15The Morris County Board of County Commissioners proclaimed Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 to be National Hispanic Heritage Month 2022 in Morris County via resolution adopted unanimously by the board this week.“We recognize this period each year to celebrate the culture, heritage and countless contributions of those whose ancestors were indigenous to North America as well as Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and South America,” said Commissioner Dir...
The Morris County Board of County Commissioners proclaimed Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 to be National Hispanic Heritage Month 2022 in Morris County via resolution adopted unanimously by the board this week.
“We recognize this period each year to celebrate the culture, heritage and countless contributions of those whose ancestors were indigenous to North America as well as Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and South America,” said Commissioner Director Tayfun Selen.
The celebration runs from the middle of September to the middle of October because during that four-week period, Mexico along with several nations in Central America and South America celebrate their Independence Days.
“In adopting this resolution tonight, we encourage all residents to celebrate the historic contributions made by Hispanics to our diverse American community,” Director Selen added.

The text of Resolution 2022-824 is below.
WHEREAS, National Hispanic Heritage Month is recognized each year to celebrate the culture, heritage and countless contributions of those whose ancestors were indigenous to North America as well as Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and South America; and
WHEREAS, the recognition began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon B. Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to National Hispanic Heritage Month to recognize Hispanics each year from September 15 through October 15; and
WHEREAS, the four-week period is significant because September 15 is recognized as Independence Day in the Latin American countries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, and because Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively; and
WHEREAS, the 2022 theme, “Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation,” encourages us to ensure that all voices are represented and welcomed to help build stronger communities and a stronger nation; and
WHEREAS, we also recognize this time as a period to reflect on the legacy of Hispanic people who have influenced our nation’s history and serve today as leaders in all aspects of life across the United States; and
WHEREAS, people identifying as Hispanic make up more than 14 percent of the diverse and wide-ranging Morris County population, and the number of Hispanic residents grew by nearly 36 percent between 2010 and 2020; and
WHEREAS, Morris County recognizes and honors the many ways that Hispanics have enriched the fabric of our society throughout America as they have continued their rich tradition of significant and diverse contributions to the cultural, educational, economic and political vitality of Morris County and all of New Jersey.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Morris County Board of County Commissioners proclaims September 15 through October 15, 2022, as Hispanic Heritage Month 2022 in Morris County and encourages all residents to celebrate the historic contributions made by Hispanics to our diverse American community.

With the average New Jersey homeowner paying more than $160 a month in energy bills according to researcher Move.org, representatives of New Jersey Natural Gas and state agencies will host a series of public "Assistance Days" in Morris County to help consumers seeking ways to lower their energy costs.
The first event will take place 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday at the Salvation Army headquarters in Dover. The next one will be held 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 29 at the Parsippany Community Center in Lake Hiawatha. The final event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Denville Municipal Building.
“There are energy assistance programs available for households of varied income levels," said Maria Delaplain, the utility's manager of energy assistance, in a statement. "State income guidelines have increased, providing greater access to energy assistance for those who may not have qualified in the past."
NJNG and state representatives will be at the events to answer questions, help determine what programs may meet customers’ needs and assist with the application process.
Customers also can learn how to apply for grants that can help with home energy costs. Those behind on their bills also can schedule payment arrangements to help bring their accounts current.
To apply for assistance, customers must bring:
Visit NJNG for more information about the Assistance Days events or call 800-221-0051 and say “energy assistance” at the prompt.
Wholesale natural gas prices for September delivery reached a 14-year high last month, squeezed by the energy crisis in Europe and high demand for air-conditioning in the U.S.
"Unfortunately, higher gas prices will be coming for the American consumers," Eugene Kim, a research director focusing on natural gas with energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie, told USA TODAY. "When we need to turn on our heaters, that's when we'll start to see some material increases in our gas bills."
According to the state Board of Public Utilities, under New Jersey’s energy deregulation law, customers can shop third-party energy providers for the best price on their energy supplies.
"Their electric and natural gas distribution utilities will still deliver those supplies through their wires and pipes and respond to emergencies, should they arise – regardless of where those supplies are purchased," a BPU advisory reads.
More information and questions to ask potential energy providers can be found on the state board's website.
New Jersey Natural Gas maintains over 7,600 miles of natural gas transportation and distribution infrastructure to serve over 568,000 customers across Morris, Monmouth, Ocean, Middlesex and Burlington counties.
