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 Rockaway Township, 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.

ROCKAWAY — You’ve heard of haunted hay rides, haunted houses, and haunted trails.
But how about a haunted car wash?
Yes, there is one that exists in New Jersey, and it's back again for its third Halloween season.
"We love the Halloween season and are always looking at fun things to do at the wash. We’ve had live music and Christmas light shows inside so we thought let’s go further during the Halloween season and create a haunted car wash!," according to Adam from Screamline.

The “Screamline Haunted Car Wash” located at 376 Route 46 in Rockaway is a one-of-a-kind haunted experience.
The cool part is you stay in your car while going through the haunted tunnel, and get your car washed at the same time.
Join the Screamline Haunted Car Wash if you dare, every Friday and Saturday night in October, starting Oct. 6 between 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., rain or shine.
Before entering the haunted tunnel, you’ll be greeted by walking dead zombies, live monsters, and other underworld creatures.
Once inside the tunnel, you’ll find yourself trapped at the mercy of the car wash. Imagine real-life clowns and zombies trying to claw their way into your vehicle while you and your family and friends sit inside. Keep one eye open and look over your shoulder, as other surprises await as your car is being washed.
The experience, featuring an intense light show in the tunnel, as well as smoke machines, and mic’d up animatronics, is said to be moderately scary, so it’s recommended for those ages five and older.
Check out the video of the Screamline Haunted Car Wash
Tickets are not pre-sold. Cash or credit cards will be accepted on-site. The cost is $15 per car for members and $25 for non-members.
The wait time can be anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes.
Last year they had a total of 9 total nights of Screamline with 1,238 cars so an average of 137 cars a night. Most cars have an average of 4 people in the car so they estimate that about 5,000 people come through last year.
Since year two was more popular the car wash said it expects the daily trend to continue slightly up to an average of 150 cars a night.
Past victims, ahem, customers seemed to enjoy it.
A couple of positive reviews on the New Jersey Haunted Houses website read:
“Better than expected. We went only knowing it was technically “haunted” and that the car would actually get washed. Experience was incredible.”
“So glad that you’re taking the time to allow others to enjoy the Halloween experience. Goes to show how much fun can be packed into a simple car wash. Was fantastic.”
FYI: When it's not haunted, it's actually called The Streamline Car Wash, offering unlimited car washes starting at $19.99 per month, and free vacuums.

ROCKAWAY — Nearly three years after New Jersey residents overwhelmingly voted to legalize marijuana sales for recreational use, Morris County's first retail cannabis dispensary is open for business.
Following a soft launch in late July, Kind Kush held a grand opening on Aug. 19 in the Rockaway Borough shopping center along Route 46 anchored by Tractor Supply Co.
"The mayor was kind enough to come out and cut the ribbon, which was very exciting," owner-operator Jimmy Rogovich said in an interview Tuesday. A resident of Cresskill in Bergen County, he formerly owned Rogo's sports bar in Hoboken with his brothers.
Kind Kush fills only a small sliver of the 40,000-square-foot building, which was formerly occupied by World Gym and, before that, a Shop-Rite. Customers visiting the dispensary must present identification to advance from a small lobby into the retail shop, where large-screen TVs display product availability and price.
Packaged goods include cannabis sold in natural flower-bud form, in 3.5 or 7-gram bags, pre-rolled joints, edibles, vape cartridges, concentrates and other varieties, along with accessories. Prices range from about $15 for a pre-rolled 1-gram joint to more than $100 for a 7-gram pack of buds.
The product itself is not visible in the shopping area, but packaging labels list essential consumer information such as the strain of cannabis and detailed data on its potency.
Customers must be 21 or older and may not purchase more than one ounce at a time. Payment can be made by debit card or in cash. Credit cards are not accepted.
Rogovich opened with about 20 employees, including longtime Rockaway resident Debbie Mereau as his first hire.
"I'm technically the first female bud-tender in Morris County," said Mereau, who was behind the counter tending to customers on Tuesday. She previously worked as a customer service representative for a payroll company.
"This is the best job I've ever had," she said. "I can't believe I had to wait this long to be this happy somewhere."
State regulators approved Rogovich's application for a conditional license for recreational and medical use in May 2022, then approved his annual license in October.
Shopping around for locations, he found willing supporters in Rockaway town hall and a landlord who gave him a fair deal, he said.
What weed pays for:What are NJ towns doing with marijuana taxes?
Seven towns in Morris County - Boonton, Butler, Dover, Morristown, Rockaway, Rockaway Township and Victory Gardens - have approved retail cannabis sales since voters approved an amendment to the state constitution by a 67% majority in 2020, legalizing cannabis use on Jan. 1, 2021. Legislative and other legal hurdles delayed actual retail sales around the state until April of 2022.
"A lot of municipalities didn't opt in [to allowing retail cannabis sales] but Rockaway has been super," Rogovich said. "And I'm really happy we'll be making a real contricbution with the 2 percent [local sales tax surcharge] we give to the borough."
Kind Kush is now the 40th location approved to sell to recreational and medical users in New Jersey. Customers with prescriptions can shop in an additional six dispensaries restricted to medical pot sales.
Other retail cannabis applications in Morris County towns, including in Madison and Victory Gardens, have been stalled by bureaucratic opposition. Victory Gardens, already in discussion with two potential operators, voted last week to require applicants to file more information.
In February, the Morristown Planning Board gave unanimous approval for Massachusetts-based Uma Flowers to open a cannabis dispensary on Ridgedale Avenue, but no opening date was announced. The owners of Uma Flowers were unavailable Tuesday to update their status.
Rogovich said marijuana businesses have also had to contend with "a ton of price-gouging" by landlords. "We call it the green tax. Once they find out it's cannabis-related, sometimes they double the rent."
That was apparently the case in Boonton, where a retail cannabis licensee sought zoning relief after learning the few available spaces approved for sales in a designated industrial zone were overpriced. The Boonton council, however, voted against the retailer's proposal to operate in an existing space outside the industrial zone.
Unlike many of New Jersey's new dispensaries, which are owned by large multistate operators such as Ascend and the Apothecarium, Rogovich says he is the sole owner and proprietor of Kind Kush.
"We are a true 'mom and pop" business and I am spending about 100 hours a week here," he said. "So far, business has gotten better every week."

ROCKAWAY TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (WABC) -- A young girl from New Jersey is proving that you don't have to be Albert Einstein to be considered a genius.
Declan Lopez is bubbly, has a beautiful personality and she's brilliant.
At just 6 years old, Lopez is a member of the Mensa society, which includes the smartest of the smartest with an IQ of 138 -- that's Einstein level.
"I'm interested in arts, science, math and geography," Lopez said.
The gifted kindergartener reads on a third or fourth grade level.
Lopez goes to school in Dover, New Jersey where she is a shining star.
"My favorite thing to learn is a force in motion," Lopez said.
Her parents started noticing Lopez's intelligence early on when she was 18 months old.
"We were on a trip in the airport, and she just started to count in Mandarin," Declan's mom Meachel Lopez said.
So, there is a challenge in keeping the active 6-year-old intellectually stimulated, with an activity chart, while letting her be a kid.
"I want her to laugh and joke and make mistakes and do things that 6-year-olds do," Meachel Lopez said.
On top of raising an exceptional daughter, there is strong evidence showing Lopez's little brother Maddox is following in her footsteps.
The Lopez's are trying to figure out if brilliance runs in the family DNA.
They add that Google and Alexa have become their best friend because their kids know things that they can't answer without artificial intelligence.
Their kids are the real deal. They are special youngsters thirsty to learn everything.
