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 Mount Arlington, 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.
At Denville Medical, we aim to serve you with long-lasting quality of life through personalized acupuncture treatments in New Jersey. 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.

ROXBURY, NJ – About 10 area residents took a break from COVID-19 cabin fever on Sunday by hopping in their cars and slowly driving together through Mount Arlington and Roxbury in what they unofficially called a “Drive for Hope.”
Horns were honked. Loud music was played through open windows. Some cheer was delivered to neighborhoods that seemed to need it, said Jimmy Pelusio, one of the organizers.
“We just wanted to do something positive for the community,” he said.

The friends met at Mount Arlington Public School at about 2 p.m. and embarked on a leisurely tour that lasted past 5 p.m., Pelusio said. Based on the reactions from people along the way, the Drive for Hope was worthwhile, he said.
“The support we got was incredible,” Pelusio said. “There were some people outside already. Some were out walking. People came out when they heard us come through”
Pelusio, who rumbled along in his 1992 Camaro, said some people approached – staying at least six feet away – to express thanks. “People were saying, ‘You made my day,’” he said. “There was so much positive. I’m telling you; it was a really great feeling.”

“Alex is a sophomore member of our band program,” said Conrad. “He is involved in all aspects, including our marching bands, jazz program, chamber music/solo recitals as well as our curricular band program.”
Conrad described Fullam as being “incredibly hard-working, talented and kind,” and noted Fullam recently earned a spot as a trombonist in both the North Jersey Region 1 Wind Ensemble and the NJ All State Wind Ensemble/All State orchestra (where he placed third in the state).
“Alex leads by example, is always willing to help and sets incredibly high standards for himself in all his musical as well as non-musical endeavors,” said the band director. “We are lucky to have him as a member of our band program.”
Biase was nominated by Mount Arlington School music instructor Michael Aberback.
“Philip Biase is an outstanding band member,” said Aberback. “He has been a dedicated percussionist in my band program for the past five years. He currently plays in our school Concert Band and Percussion Ensemble.”
Aberback said Biase “attends before-school morning rehearsals three times a week. He is never late for rehearsal, has not had a single unexcused absence this year and he always arrives prepared and ready to play.”
The teacher also said Biase recently participated in the school talent show, performing an original drum set solo.
“Philip is a well-rounded percussionist,” said Aberback in nominating Biase for the honor. “He has made great progress in both his mallet playing and drumming over the last several years. Philip is hard-working, good-natured and very responsible. He is a pleasure to work with.”

ROXBURY, NJ – Construction is about to begin on the long-proposed Howard Boulevard/Route 80 interchange improvement project and that means lane closures on the highway, starting tonight.
The state Department of Transportation today said Route 80 is scheduled to have lane closures in both directions tonight (Nov. 17) on the bridges over Howard Boulevard in Mount Arlington on the Roxbury border. Starting at 9 p.m. and continuing through 10 a.m. Nov. 18, the left and center lanes on Route 80 eastbound and westbound are scheduled to be closed over the boulevard, said the DOT.
“The closures are necessary to implement a traffic shift and create a median work zone,” the state explained. “A temporary bridge will be constructed between the existing eastbound and westbound bridges to maintain three lanes of traffic in each direction throughout construction.”

It said that, by Saturday morning, there will be three lanes in each direction with traffic shifted to the right. At least one lane will be maintained overnight, the DOT said.
The federally funded project, initially estimated to cost $24 million, in 2017, but now described as a $65.4 million endeavor, will replace the existing bridges carrying Route 80 over Howard Boulevard.
But the bridges will not be replaced with similarly sized spans. They will be higher and bigger to enable widening the boulevard, according to the DOT.
“Improvements will include raising the vertical clearance of each bridge, widening the shoulders, lengthening acceleration and deceleration lanes on I-80, and widening the ramps to and from Howard Boulevard,” it said. “The Howard Boulevard intersection will be reconfigured to improve operational performance.”
Additionally, the interchange will get upgraded traffic signals and lighting and ADA-compliant sidewalks and crosswalks, according to the state. “Sidewalks will be extended to the Mount Arlington Train Station for improved pedestrian and bicycle safety and mobility.”
Originally scheduled to be done by 2025, the project is now expected to be complete in summer 2027, the DOT said.
“The precise timing of the work is subject to change due to weather or other factors,” it noted. “Motorists are encouraged to check NJDOT’s traffic information website www.511nj.org for construction updates and real-time travel information.”

MOUNT ARLINGTON, N.J. (AP) — This week’s winter storm appears to have broken a 122-year-old record for the most snow in a New Jersey community from one storm.
Mount Arlington, in the northern part of the state, got 35.5 inches (90 centimeters) of snow in the storm, which lasted about three days, the National Weather Service noted Tuesday in a preliminary report. It could take months to confirm the total and the new record, though.
The snowfall report came from a trained weather observer, and officials note there’s no reason to doubt its veracity. If confirmed, it would top the record of 34 inches (86 centimeters) that fell during a blizzard Feb. 11-Feb. 14 in Cape May County in southern New Jersey in 1899.
Mount Arlington, in Morris County, is about 43 miles (69 kilometers) west of New York City.

ROXBURY, NJ – Engineering consultants have proposed creating a jug-handle on Howard Boulevard in Mount Arlington, near the Roxbury border, to improve driving safety in the area of the QuickChek.
The proposal, by Trenton-based consultants Johnson Mirmiran & Thompson, would “accommodate traffic in and out of merchant operations along the roadway” including the QuikChek, according to officials.
Drivers headed north on Howard Boulevard would be banned from turning left into the QuickChek. They would be directed to the proposed jug-handle U-turn at the Seasons Drive intersection.

The idea is mentioned in a “Virtual Public Information Center,” that opened today for public inspection. The goal of the site is “to unveil and allow public input into the latest phase of an ongoing Howard Boulevard Traffic Safety Improvement Study,” said a statement from the Morris County Freeholders and state Sen. Anthony Bucco.
They said the online public information site will remain open until Dec. 18.
Johnson Mirmiran & Thompson was hired by the county last year to study the problematic stretch of Howard Boulevard and give preliminary recommendations to improve it and gather public input.
The firm focused on the section of the county-owned road between Seasons Drive to the Route 80 eastbound ramp and the NJ Transit station driveway near the Roxbury border.
“The presentation includes various maps and story-boards that outline proposals to restrict some turning options for motorists along the northbound lanes of Howard Boulevard and plans to redirect motorists to a jug-handle turn to accommodate traffic in and out of merchant operations along the roadway,” noted the statement from the freeholders and Bucco.
It noted that three public meetings were proposed in January 2019. The first took place in September of that year, in Mount Arlington.
The new virtual meeting is serving as the second session. “Ultimately, a preferred plan will be developed and presented at a third meeting,” said the statement.
The county’s work would be in addition to a major upgrade being proposed by the state Department of Transportation (DOT), which owns and maintains the three Howard Boulevard traffic signals in the area as well as the Route 80 bridge above the county road.
The DOT plan includes replacing the Route 80 overpass, improving the traffic signals and the Route 80 on- and off-ramps. “The engineering phase of the DOT plan continues, and the earliest proposed date for issuing a construction contract award is in 2022,” noted the freeholders and Bucco.
They said Mirmiran & Thompson collected data, including an analysis of accident history, travel patterns, weekday and weekend traffic counts and speed limit patterns. “The firm also made first-hand observations of driving patterns and motorists’ behavior, and was required to recommend a series of conceptual and viable short- and long-term safety enhancements,” said the statement.
