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 — A new mayor has been officially selected for Morris Township, officials announced on Thursday.
Donna Guariglia, a first-term committee member, will begin her one-year term as mayor during the committee's annual reorganization meeting on Jan. 3.
Committeeman Jeff Grayzel was also chosen to serve as deputy mayor for 2024, according to a statement sent out by the township.
“I am proud and honored to serve the Morris Township community as your 2024 mayor. I have long been committed to my community and public service,” Guariglia said. “I thank the residents of Morris Township for your enthusiasm and engagement when participating in sharing your concerns—your voices and priorities are the guiding force behind the decisions we make.”
Guariglia is a 40-year-old resident of the township and the mother of four. She is finishing her first term on the Township Committee after being appointed in 2022 and then winning the election that year when she ran with Grayzel.
Guariglia has served on the municipal oversight committees of Finance, Personnel, Fire, Transportation, Sewer, and Environment, as well as a liaison to the Senior Citizens' Advisory Committee. She is also a long-time advocate for women's and girls' rights, diversity and inclusion, and community participation and service.
“As your mayor in 2024, I will move forward the projects and initiatives in front of us. I am committed to accept the challenges we may face, and I see a path forward to lead our community to ensure that our tomorrows are better than our yesterdays,” she added.
Guariglia succeeds Mark Gyorfy, who was elected to the committee in 2018 at the age of 26 and served two terms as mayor in 2022 and 2023.
Grayzel is now serving his fourth term on the Township Committee, having first won a historic special election in 2007 after the November 2006 election was deemed to be a tie, giving credence to the old saying “every vote counts."
He served as mayor of Morris Township in 2019 and again in 2021.
Grayzel said that improving resident engagement, prioritizing budgetary sustainability, and resolving quality-of-life issues were some of the committee's accomplishments over the past several years.
He also stated that Morris Township has heavily invested in community infrastructure, including the reconstruction of multiple roadways, the addition of new sidewalks throughout the town to promote safe pedestrian circulation, the installation of new drainage to control flooding, and the upgrading and expansion of the town's vast recreational opportunities.
“I am very pleased with the accomplishments of the Township Committee over the past five years. We will continue that good work in 2024 and beyond,” Grayzel said.

A ticket sold in Morris County won $40,000 in Tuesday night's Mega Millions.
The lottery player matched four of the five white balls and the Mega Ball to win a $10,000 third-tier prize that was multiplied by four with the Megaplier. The winning ticket was purchased at Gene's on Speedwell Avenue in Morris Plains, according to the New Jersey Lottery.
The Mega Millions numbers drawn on Tuesday, June 20 were: 06, 37, 39, 45 and 46. The Mega Ball was 21. The Megaplier 4x.
In addition to the $40,000 winner, 21 other New Jersey lottery players matched four white balls drawn to win $500 prizes, the state lottery stated.
No one matched all six numbers so the jackpot will climb to an estimated $320 million for Friday night's drawing with a cash option of $167.7 million.
Lucky?These are the states with the most Mega Millions jackpot winners
Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m.
The cost is $2 per ticket, but you can add the Megaplier for $1, which will increase the amount of your potential prize up to five times the original prize (except for the jackpot).
Each player selects five numbers from 1 to 70 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 25 for the Mega Ball. However, you can also have the lottery machine generate a random Quick Pick for you. You don't need to be a U.S. citizen or a resident a particular state where you purchase your ticket.
Beware:No, a lottery jackpot winner isn't giving you money. How to spot a scammer
You can win $2 for the matching just one - the Mega Ball. Short of the jackpot, you can win up to $1 million for matching all five white balls (except in California) to the jackpot for matching all six balls. You can check all the prize payouts on the Mega Millions site here.
NJ lottery:Where does all the ticket sales money go?
In New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, tickets must be purchased by 10:45 p.m. with a lottery retailer on the Tuesday and Friday to be included in that night's drawing. Online app sales end earlier.

“This board is committed again this year to meet with our local leaders and nonprofits to address the challenges and work together on concrete solutions to foster a greater engagement. The timing is right – because we have a unique milestone approaching that offers a phenomenal opportunity for volunteerism and collaboration: the 250th Anniversary of our Independence. It is a chance to re-engage our community, properly honor our national heritage and to boost our tourism and local economy,” said Director Myers.
Stephen H. Shaw will serve as deputy director for 2024. The commissioners elect the director and deputy director from among themselves.

Rounding out the Board of Commissioners are: John Krickus, Douglas R. Cabana, Thomas J. Mastrangelo and Deborah Smith.

“During my first term as Commissioner, I said I would not disappoint you. For my next term, I will work even harder to make Morris County the best run county not just in New Jersey, but in the country! It is an honor to serve on this board and from the bottom of my heart, thank you for electing me again and putting your trust in me to do this job,” said Commissioner Selen during his acceptance speech.
County Clerk Grossi, who was re-elected in November to serve her third, five-year term, was sworn in by Superior Court Judge Louis S. Sceusi. The bible was held by her husband, Nicholas, daughter, Nicole and her daughter's boyfriend, Michael Themistocleous.
The annual Morris County Reorganization Meeting was held in person in the Commissioners’ 5th floor public meeting room at the Morris County Administration & Records Building.

Key Investments Include Infrastructure, Education and Public Safety
The Morris County Board of County Commissioners tonight unveiled a comprehensive capital spending plan for 2024 that prioritizes their commitment to education, public safety, health and the needs of our veterans and vulnerable residents, while continuing to invest in county roads, bridges and infrastructure.
The board’s Capital Budget Committee, which includes Commissioners Tayfun Selen, Stephen H. Shaw and Deborah Smith, outlined the plan during a public meeting in Morristown. The 2024 Capital Spending Plan, minus state grants and ongoing legacy commitments, invests nearly $35 million into educational facilities, human services support, public safety, health, county parks and upgrades to roads, intersections and bridges.
“The capital budget process began several months ago with the administration getting requests and back-up from the various County departments. We like to get our capital plan completed early so we can be among the first public entities to send projects out to bid,” said Commissioner Shaw, chairman of the county budget committee.
“The inventory of County assets is not only extensive but very diverse as well. In addition to traditional infrastructure like our 287 miles of roads, 1,000 bridges and 3.4 million square feet of buildings, we have over 20,000 acres of parkland, right-of-way trees and three freight railroads,” Shaw added.
The plan also continues a strategy of offsetting the county’s future borrowing needs for necessary capital projects with federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
“We will continue to lead the state in bridge upgrades with the addition of $5.4 million to our 2024 Capital Plan. Bridges in Dover, Mount Olive and Parsippany are among those targeted for improvement in 2024. By the end of next year, we will have replaced 43 bridges and rehabilitated six others over the past eight years,” said Commissioner Selen.
He also noted the 2024 Capital Plan anticipates resurfacing 30 miles of county roadways next year, bringing the total to 220.8 miles of roads since 2016, an average of nearly 28 miles per year.

“Our 2024 Capital Budget Plan will continue to expand on our commitment to educational excellence at the Morris County Vocational School District (Votech), as well as at the County College of Morris (CCM), where we are making a $4.2 million investment in constructing a 70,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art Center for Health Professions,” said Commissioner Smith. “We also will continue investing in the equipment and training for our public safety agencies, addressing the human services needs of our veterans and homebound residents, and maintaining the safety of our parks – the largest county park system in New Jersey.”

Improving Our County Road Network
$2.6 million for intersection improvements, including:

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — After closing down its Roxbury store more than three years ago, Barnes & Noble is gearing up to start its next chapter in the township.
According to officials, construction is nearly complete at the new 13,500-square-foot location for the popular bookseller at what is now known as the Shops at Ledgewood Commons.
The new store will be located at 461 State Route 10, Building B300, situated between the DSW and Ulta Beauty. According to a Barnes & Noble representative, the business plans to open the store on Jan. 17.
Residents expressed their enthusiasm for the new venture on social media. "This makes me so happy! People have been messaging me about this news for a few weeks. The community is so excited for your return," one resident wrote on Facebook.
Back in 2020, the Barnes & Noble bookstore in Ledgewood shuttered its doors to make way for the brand-new shopping center. At the time, the bookstore decided not to sign on to reopen its site when the Shops at Ledgewood Commons project was finished, instead announcing on social media that they were going to be closing down for good.
However, that decision was rethought, and the company announced that they would be returning to Ledgewood earlier this year.
In a space formerly occupied by Sports Authority, the new Barnes & Noble store will share a restored building with a DSW shoe store and an Ulta Beauty shop. The bookshop will not have a café on the premises, although there is a Starbucks nearby, the company wrote on its Facebook page.
The new location will also not have a music section, similar to the Morris Plains location, the company said.
"We are excited to be returning to this market. It is an area that has always done well for us, and we are thrilled to be able to come back into the community with our beautiful, newly designed bookstore. The store will feature a new release shop, book rooms, bright cheerful paint colors and we will have seating to encourage customers to sit and enjoy their new store. The store is a little larger than the old location, and will carry all the best books, toys, games and gifts that our customers would expect to see," a company spokesperson told Patch.
Barnes & Noble previously stated that they were anticipating rapid expansion in the coming years. After more than 15 years of dwindling store numbers, the company is now on the verge of a growth surge, with plans to open 30 new sites in 2023 and over 50 by 2024.
