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 Pequannock, 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.

HOLMDEL, NJ — By the end of his first day as Holmdel Township Administrator, Jay Delaney said he covered a lot of territory.
He met with township employees and also with Mayor DJ Luccarrelli - and learned the technical ropes of getting settled into a new office.
"It was a long, busy, exciting day," Delaney said in a late afternoon interview.
Luccarelli reminded residents at this past Tuesday's meeting that Delaney was starting Thursday and would be meeting with the staff.
"We're looking forward to working with Jay," he said at the meeting.
The Township Committee approved his hiring earlier this month. Delaney was the former Keyport administrator.
William E. Antonides Jr., the chief financial officer for the township, has served in a dual role as interim township administrator since March of last year. Former administrator Cherron Rountree resigned as the previous township administrator.
In his committee report Tuesday, Committeeman Brian Foster praised Antonides for "stepping up" and "helping us to get to this point."
And the mayor said Antonides will be recognized further at the next committee meeting.
Luccarelli commented on the new administrator earlier this month:
"After a long and thorough interview process, we are proud to have appointed Jay Delaney as our next township administrator. Jay has decades of experience that will serve us well and allow him to hit the ground running for Holmdel," said Luccarelli.
The resolution to appoint Delaney was approved unanimously at the meeting Jan. 10.
Luccarelli at that time thanked the committee members for the work they put into the search to choose a leader for "the wonderful team we have in place."
Delaney was borough administrator in Keyport since 2020, according to his LinkedIn page.
Prior to that he was assistant township manager in East Windsor; borough administrator of Spring Lake Heights; township clerk of Pequannock; and project manager at the Brick Township Municipal Utilities Authority.
He began his career in government from 1988 to 2006 as municipal clerk and then borough administrator in Seaside Park in Ocean County, where he currently lives.
