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 Randolph, 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.

RANDOLPH, NJ- Following a season that saw the Rams finish with a record of 5-18, the girls varsity volleyball team has a somewhat new look with lots of energy for 2022.“One of this season’s strengths will be player versatility,” said coach Sheri Data, who enters her 12th season coaching at Randolph – this being her 5th as head coach. “Many of the new girls can play multiple positions, and the veterans are eager to take on new roles.

RANDOLPH, NJ- Following a season that saw the Rams finish with a record of 5-18, the girls varsity volleyball team has a somewhat new look with lots of energy for 2022.
“One of this season’s strengths will be player versatility,” said coach Sheri Data, who enters her 12th season coaching at Randolph – this being her 5th as head coach. “Many of the new girls can play multiple positions, and the veterans are eager to take on new roles. We are excited to witness the enthusiasm the new, younger varsity players will bring to the team.
Senior captains Moira Durkin (outside hitter) and Izzy DeNigris (middle blocker) will lead the team, while Dora Katsanos (setter) will serve as a captain as a junior.
Data described DeNegris as humble and extremely coachable, further stating, “She truly enjoys the game and makes it fun for everyone on the floor.”
As for Katsanos, Data called her a quiet leader who leads by example. “She pushes herself 100% on every play and always makes sure the logistics are taken care of. Her positivity truly energizes her peers and her coaches every day.”
Kiersten Tinio (defensive specialist), Nina Capriglione (outside hitter) and Chloe Spingarn (outside hitter) round out the seniors on the roster, while Samantha Einfeldt (libero), Olivia Berlin (middle blocker) and Megan Geuther (outside hitter) are the additional juniors for the Rams.
Sophomores Isabella Carreira (defensive specialist) and Caitlin Scuibba (opposite hitter) will join freshmen Anna Jankowska (setter/opposite hitter) and Jazmine Holder (setter/opposite hitter) on the squad for the 2022 season.
“I am looking forward to the versatility,” Coach Data said, “In addition to the chemistry on the team from the juniors that played on JV last season, they all played together and had such a tight chemistry.”
The Rams have progressed positively this preseason, as they played more scrimmages than usual, and Captain Moira Durkin ia excited with the level of play her team has shown thus far.
“We’ve been able to build on our mistakes from the past few games,” Durkin said, “Everyone is communicating which is helping us to become a better team.”
Data will be looking to Durkin to be driving force behind that communication.
“Moira is the voice of the team, she consistently seeks ways to make herself and the program better,” said Data. “Her experience and strong vocal leadership will be the cornerstone of our team chemistry.”
The versatility that Data mentioned will help provide the team with multiple setting and hitting options.
With regard to adjusting to different setters, Captain Isabella DeNigris said, “It’s been challenging at times because every setter is different,” she said.
Coach Data added, “It was a surprise having all the setting options. Coming into the season, we weren’t quite sure who the setter was going to be.”
Durkin also mentioned that all the setters have excellent hands, it is just important to know that different centers like to run different tempos.
This season looks to be very promising for the Randolph Rams volleyball team, and both Durkin and DeNigris are excited for building team chemistry and helping the group become good friends throughout the season.
While the team overall has gotten stronger as a result of their scrimmages, DeNigris has stood out lately with how efficient she has been.
“Her [DeNigris] sophomore season was the COVID year, she stepped in when we lost our starting middle blocker,” Data added, “Last year she was injured for part of the season, and she never really got her transition back. This is the Izzy we know and her connection with setter Dora [Katsanos] is something we did not expect to see this early on.”
“Already, we are adjusting better than we were last year, and the wins will come because of those adjustments,” Coach Data said. Randolph will open their regular season at home with a face-off with the division rival Morris Hills Scarlet Knights at 4pm on September 8th

Seven days before students return to class, the Randolph Board of Education approved a curriculum for the school year Tuesday featuring new state-mandated health-education standards that include elements of gender and sexuality some critics label as "age-inappropriate."
The board also approved a new teacher contract and outlined changes parents and students can expect to see in the new school year, including new bus stops and routes due to the ongoing lack of available bus drivers.
The embattled board has faced withering public criticism since angering residents, Italian-Americans and others for removing holiday names from the school calendar in 2021 before reversing that decision. Further controversy followed a decision last spring to cut the Rosh Hashana holiday break from two days to one.
New sex education standards passed by the state Board of Education in 2020 go into effect this school year. They expand what students are taught about relationships, pregnancy and consent, but also include updates on the controversial topics of abortion and gender identity.
Morris schoolsHackettstown assistant principal Ryan Scheifler named new Madison athletic director
Tuesday, the board absorbed more criticism on a variety of issues, including the new curriculum. Most of the speakers during the public comment period took them to task for not making the curriculum public and soliciting feedback before the vote.
"While the teachers and the administration were working on the curriculum, we could have had several town halls and let parents express their worries," board candidate Debby Lissaur said. "Ideally, the board would ensure that parents could preview the curriculum before the board was taken."
Another candidate, Kelly Ann Arzberger, said "If there is not a presentation anywhere else in this meeting tonight, regarding the sex ed, I am personally feeling disrespected."
Superintendent Jennifer Fano said there would be no presentation about the curriculum, which she described as "a document for a teacher" with "guiding statements and guiding skills that students need to accomplish according to the state-mandated standards."
She added the district posted links through the district's online portal to show "the changes between the 2014 and 2020 standards back in March" and the board "used that feedback to create the document."
"The sex-education standards that seemed to have caused the most controversy are actually not taught until the spring in any of the grade levels," she added.
The curriculum will be shared online on Friday, Fano said. The school year begins August 31.
Several speakers also spoke out against a notification received by residents that the board would consider a contract renewal for Fano at its meeting on Sept. 13, despite Fano's current contract running through 2024.

Among them were four of the seven candidates for three seats on the board being vacated by incumbents Tammy MacKay, Jeanne Stifelman and Susan DeVito.
Candidate Todd Schleifstein said that under New Jersey law, the board has until February 2024 to inform Fano whether or not it wishes to renew her contract.
"So why are we addressing it some 18 months in advance?" he asked. "The current board and in particular the three outgoing members are acting in bad faith by trying to take this decision away from the boards that will be in place in 2023 and 2024."
"Why we are reviewing this when one-third of you are leaving?" candidate Layne Broyles asked. "You could have run again. You all chose not to. We appreciate your service. You're done now. You need to give the other seven candidates, whomever they may be that get elected, the opportunity to discuss this. They are the ones that are in charge going forward."
Fano said she could not comment on her own contract.
Board member Michael Giordano categorized much of the board backlash as being generated by "10 individuals representing nine families" and through private social media groups that exclude district employees. He described some as "jackhammer parents" who are "uninterested in real dialogue unless they get exactly what they want."
"The information shared on the site is patently false," Business Administrator Stephen Frost said "A small group of residents are making up information and sharing it, purporting to have information the rest of the public does not have. "
"When misinformation is posted, you have to get in front of this information," Hope Powell commented. "So my question is straightforward. Why didn't the board release the new health curriculum draft to the community prior to the vote? it's going to be great. I know that. But so many in the community don't know that. They don't believe the board actually cares. I think that needs to be addressed."

RANDOLPH, NJ- All Randolph Township Schools' staff gathered today August 30 for Opening Day to celebrate the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year. The event began with refreshments provided by Randolph Township Schools’ Parent Teacher Organizations, followed by an energizing performance by the Randolph High School Drumline. Randolph High School Senior Andrew Berkmeyer led the Star Spangled Banner and Superintendent Jennifer Fano provided a few opening remarks.
“Your personal contributions to our school community have and continue to make a lasting impact in the lives of children every day. However, we often don’t take the time to reflect on the significance of the work we do. I believe this quote: “Engineers make bridges. Artists make paintings. Scientists make rockets. But teachers make them all,” reflects the magnitude of just how important education is to the world in which we live.
Given that we educate every child uniquely and individually, we often don’t think about the greater significance of the contributions we bring to society as educators. Whether we consciously think about it or not, educators are responsible for changing the very world we live in every single day.
To illustrate this point, the New York Times once reported that the average American knows about 600 people. With age, our interactions only continue to grow; with reports estimating that a single person can expect to meet over 10,000 people over the course of their lifetime. As technology and social media platforms continue to expand, the amount of people we will interact with will only undoubtedly increase.
What this means is that for every single life you influence, that individual will in turn influence the lives of hundreds if not thousands of other people.
In our small community of Randolph, our actions can and do affect millions. When we reflect upon this through this lens, every person in this room in one way or another is contributing to the success of people all over the world and from all walks of life.
This isn’t a small responsibility, and it’s something I hope we can be both proud of and motivated by as part of our daily work. Your contributions matter more than you will ever know, even if you don’t always see the outcome of your sacrifice and hard work,” Ms. Fano said.
The Randolph Education Association also recognized this year’s tenure recipients. Throughout the day, individual meetings and activities were held between teachers, support staff, supervisors, principals and vice principals. The district looks forward to welcoming students back to school for the start of another amazing year of learning.
