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 Morristown, 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.

The path to a pain-free life begins with a friendly, informative appointment, where one of our doctors develops a customized treatment plan tailored to your body's needs.

Personnel at Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) and its parent company, FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE) are prepared to respond to potential service interruptions caused by a winter storm system expected to bring high winds, snow and heavy rain to portions of FirstEnergy’s service areas in New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia this week.
A video playlist of utility personnel discussing the impact of wind storms on equipment and restoration efforts is available on YouTube.
Company meteorologists have been tracking the storm for several days. The system is expected to bring the following conditions to each state:

Wade Smith, President of FirstEnergy Utilities: “While we invest in our electric system throughout the year to keep power flowing to customers in all weather conditions, the combination of high winds; heavy, wet snow and rain carries the potential for power outages and presents challenges for our crews during repair efforts. We are vigilantly monitoring both the current storm system and the forecasted severe weather over the next week, and we are committed to taking every necessary step to ensure safe and prompt restoration of electric service for our customers.”
Sustained winds and heavy rain could slow restoration efforts, as crews cannot safely operate bucket trucks when wind speeds exceed 40 miles per hour. Saturated soil and flooding can also hinder access and create hazardous conditions for crews as they work to make repairs to lines and equipment damaged by fallen trees and branches.
After a major weather event, hundreds or even thousands of damage locations, including broken poles and downed power lines, are common. FirstEnergy personnel prioritize clearing hazards like downed power lines, trees and blocked roads to ensure public safety. Employees must also assess the damage to enable line crews to access outage sites and initiate safe repairs. The formal restoration process focuses on addressing widespread outages first, before tackling more isolated issues.
How to Report Power Outages and Downed Lines
Customers who experience a service interruption due to the storm are encouraged to report their outage by calling 1-888-LIGHTSS (1-888-544-4877), texting OUT to LIGHTS (544487) or clicking the “Outages” link on firstenergycorp.com.
FirstEnergy customers can sign up to receive email and text message alert notifications for updates after they've reported a power outage. Customers can also use two-way text messaging to report outages, request updates on restoration efforts and make other inquiries about their electric accounts. More information about these communication tools is available at firstenergycorp.com/connect.
High winds and saturated soil can bring down trees and branches onto power lines. Customers should assume all downed or low-hanging power lines are energized and dangerous. Stay at least 30 feet away and use extra caution where downed lines are tangled in trees or other debris. Report downed lines ASAP by calling 911.

Customers Encouraged to Prepare in Advance of the Storm
FirstEnergy encourages customers to plan for the possibility of power outages due to the impending storm by following these tips:

In recent years, Morristown has turned its long downtown thoroughfare (South Street, extending past the Morristown Green to Washington Street), from a scattering of small shops and minor eateries into one of the most vibrant Restaurant Rows in northern New Jersey. Its craft beer scene is a strong point. Add the rest of downtown, and your choice of cuisines, price points and atmospheres are multiplied.
Here are our top picks for the best restaurants in Morristown—one of our favorite restaurant towns in New Jersey—in alphabetical order.
Burke, the Hazlet-raised commander of many New Jersey restaurants, in November planted his flag on the historic Morristown Green. (The restaurant made our Best New Restaurants list in February 2022.) The dramatic, high-ceilinged space often thumps with deejayed music. (The Topgolf suites down the hall are inaudible.) The menu matches the ambiance: assertive pastas, pizzas and seafood; Burke’s patented salt-aged beef; his chili-strafed Hipster Fries and marshmallow-filled cookie sliders that may slide into your dreams. —K.T. Harrison67 East Park Place, 973-829-1776
Located in the Westin Governor Morris Hotel, the upscale Blue Morel is about a mile from the Morristown Green, the park that represents the center of town, but has plenty of parking and a veteran kitchen team led by chefs Dennis Matthews and Thomas Ciszak. The dinner menu is largely New American, with a sushi section and raw bar. 2 Whippany Road; 973-451-2619
Burgers rule at the Committed Pig—there are a dozen to choose from. Also popular are the grilled cheese sandwiches, egg dishes, pancakes, pork roll sandwiches and a kids menu. BYO. 28 West Park Place; 862-260-9292
This retro-chic BYO pizzeria’s swaggering, charismatic chef/owner, Nino Coniglio, “grew up a wild kid in Bridgewater,” he says. “Pizza kitchens saved my life.” With his “Cirque du Soleil tricks with pizza dough,” he went on to rack up international trophies for his pies. Chopped appearances and a robust social-media following created wood-fired pizzerias in Brooklyn, then Manhattan, and now, Morristown. Coniglio’s chemical-free menu beguiles with his handcrafted pies, pastas, parms, heroes, salads, rosticcerie (Sicilian snacks), breads, bagels, pastries, and fountain-spritzed Cokes and egg creams. Coniglio, wife Shealyn (a pizza influencer), and baby Penny’s commute is a three-minute stroll across the Morristown Green. “This town is paradise,” he marvels. Pizza paradise, too. —KTH 11 South Street, 973-723-9430
This craft beer bar, with live music on Fridays and Saturdays, offers burgers, flatbreads, wings, salads, entrées and daily specials. It adjoins with Hops, which offers an even wider selection of craft beers along with a smaller menu. 18 Washington Street; 973-540-9601
A classic Irish pub, Grasshopper off the Green has a bar and flatscreens downstairs and a dining room upstairs. Menu highlights include shepherd’s pie, bangers & mash, and fish & chips, plus quesadillas, salads and American dishes. 41-43 Morris Street; 973-285-5150
Occupying the renovated 1918 Vail Mansion, Jockey Hollow has made New Jersey Monthly’s list of Best Restaurants every year since it opened in 2014. Overall, the menu is New American with a specialty in exceptional pastas. The wine and beer lists offer unusual value and variety, and cocktails are excellent. 110 South Street; 973-644-3180
Fresh ingredients, with many choices of add-ons, characterize this casual spot offering poke bowls (fish over rice or salad) or poke burritos, as well as unusually good ramen bowls brimming with rich broth, high-quality noodles and generous amounts of meat and vegetables. BYO. 40 South Park Place; 973-998-9449
The Mehtani family, award-winning restaurateurs, present a high-quality Indian a la carte menu and a lunch buffet at Mehndi in the Headquarters Plaza Building. 3 Speedwell Avenue; 973-871-2323

Chef/owner Evelina Berc brings the hearty and affordable cooking of Poland, her home country, to soul-stirring life at Pierogies House.

Like its sister restaurants in Ridgewood and Summit, Morristown’s Roots is an upscale enclave specializing in prime beef, including dry-aged cuts. There’s also seafood entrées and a bevy of classic steakhouse sides. 40 West Park Place; 973-326-1800
Cocktails at SM23 are top-notch. Courtesy of SM23
Having met an inspirational mixologist on a trip to Australia, Shaun Mehtani opened this sophisticated bar and lounge, with a good small plates menu, on his 23rd birthday. Hence the name SM23. A DJ spins tunes on weekends. 3 Speedwell Avenue; 973-871-2323

A Bobby Flay protégé who ran several of his top kitchens, chef Leia Gaccione has proven herself a star in her own right with this casual American eatery where the food is relatable, affordable and always touched with imagination and detail that lifts it into super-deliciousness.

MORRISTOWN, NJ — The search continues for Meep, a one-year-old Boston terrier rescue who has been missing since Jan. 1, according to her owner, Summer Sheldrick.
Meep went missing on New Year’s Day after being let out to use the bathroom. According to Sheldrick, Meep got scared by fireworks let off by a close neighbor at 12:15 a.m.
"She got loose and sprinted and never looked back. I was laying in bed ready to go to sleep and by the time I was notified that she got out, she was already so far gone," Sheldrick said.
Meep was last seen on Dorothy Drive.
A $6,000 reward is being offered for her safe return.
Sheldrick and Ryan Hitchcock, who live in Morristown, said that they searched until 7 a.m. the next morning with no luck.
Since then, the couple has posted flyers on every block and in every mailbox and hired multiple search dogs, drone services, and dog rescue groups.
Meep was rescued from a puppy mill and had several health concerns when Sheldrick first adopted her.
"She was a very sick puppy and had pneumonia for weeks. Meep had to have oxygen and use a nebulizer every day. (She still needs her nebulizer.) Recently, she was diagnosed with a luxating patella, is awaiting surgery and takes daily medication," Sheldrick said.
A luxating patella occurs when the kneecap becomes dislocated, either toward the inside or outside of the leg, according to the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine.
The search for Meep has been ongoing since her disappearance at the beginning of the month.
According to Sheldrick, Meep has not left her side since she was eight weeks old.
"She is everything to me, and I always used to say I don’t know what I would do without her, and now that I don’t have her, I’m a mess. I wake up crying and I go to sleep crying. I miss her so much, and I’m praying for this nightmare to be over. She is not just a dog to me. She is my family," Sheldrick said.
Sheldrick, in a Facebook post, asked if someone had found Meep to return her. "Whoever you are, you are taking good care of my baby. Do you know that she can only eat from a certain plate due to her smaller trachea? Are you aware that she needs to be eating a certain type of food because she has belly issues and often throws up her food after every meal? When she goes outside for a walk, do you have her favorite pjs to put on her so she doesn’t get cold? No. You do not know these things."
Anyone with information about Meep's location is asked to call (201-400-4397). Meep has been microchipped and spayed; if she is located, she can be recognized via the microchip.

The Morris County Board of County Commissioners joined County College of Morris (CCM) and the Morris School District at a press conference Tuesday to announce the Morristown College Promise (MCP) Program, a partnership committed to helping motivated, low-income middle and high school students and their families by offering free services, such as tutoring and mentoring, while preparing students to go to college.
The kick-off was held at Morristown High School with state, county and local officials and administrators.
"As the community's college, CCM’s college promise programs are designed to ensure all students have access to a great education,” said Dr. Anthony J. Iacono, President of CCM. “CCM, the Morris School District and the community are committed to ensuring more students are college ready, have access and can affordably achieve their educational and career goals."
Morris County Commissioner Director John Krickus joined the event with Commissioners Christine Myers and Stephen Shaw.
“This program is an example of walking the talk in Morris County. It encourages students to not give up and helps them get beyond their obstacles,” said Director Krickus.
“The partnerships like these that CCM has formed, put Morris County on the map and sets the stage for the rest of the state to follow. Setting these young minds on a path while still in high school alleviates the stress and fears of college and encourages them to go further with their education,” said Sen. Anthony Bucco, District 25.
Morristown College Promise is based on a similar program, Dover College Promise, launched by CCM in 2020 and which has helped 19 students through high school and college graduations to date.
“The Morris School District serves a student body that is 35 percent first generation, and the Morristown College Promise Program takes direct aim at removing barriers through practical support systems that help guide students to a successful college experience and future career,” said Dr. Anne Mucci, Superintendent of Schools, Morris School District.
“The partnership between CCM and Morris School District is a significant milestone in our commitment to education and the future of our youth. I am excited to see the transformational efforts of this collaboration and the positive impact it will have on the lives of countless students,” said Angelica Allen-McMillan, Ed.D., Acting Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education.
CCM has been recognized as No. 1 for Best Associate Degrees in the state and Best for Transfer Students in New Jersey by Intelligent. Many of its programs have gained national recognition.
CCM began the Promise Programs in 2020 during the pandemic and looks to continue expanding and partnering with other high schools in Morris County.
“CCM is thrilled to expand into Morristown and MCP would not be possible without community partnerships,” said Iacono.
“We talk about how we are in many ways reformatting post-secondary education to adapt to students’ needs, but there’s no question it remains the best investment we can make by helping students attend college,” said Assemblywoman Aura Dunn, District 25.
CCM gave a special thanks to the Mimi Washington Starrett Foundation as the inaugural funder of the program’s expansion into Morristown and to the Morris School District for welcoming CCM to the high school.
“County College of Morris is a leader in connecting members of the community with available resources so they may thrive in all areas of life. The Mimi Washington Starrett Foundation is very proud to partner with the CCM Foundation in support of the expansion of the College Promise Program into Morristown, helping students and their families realize the potential their future may hold,” said Sarah Ahart, President of Mimi Washington Starrett Foundation.
Questions about MCP can be directed to Julian Gomez, Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and the EOF Program at CCM, (973) 328-5271, [email protected].
