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.

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 Roxbury, 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.

ROXBURY, NJ – A house fire early Saturday morning, caused by a surge from a downed power line, forced a Ledgewood family to evacuate and damaged several other houses, said Roxbury Fire Official Mike Pellek.
He said the incident began at about 2:26 a.m. when a power line came down on Emmans Road during breezy and rainy weather. The line fell onto secondary power lines, sending a high-voltage charge into four houses near the Mount Olive line.
The blast of electricity set one of the homes on fire, prompting a response by all three Roxbury fire companies as well as by firefighters from Netcong, Flanders and Chester, Pellek said.

The home that caught fire sustained heavy damage. “The house is gutted,” Pellek said, noting the family was forced to leave and is now staying at the home of another family in Roxbury.
Pellek said the displaced family was given some money by Roxbury PBA 311 and by the 403 Reasons to Run, a non-profit founded by his wife, Jacqueline Pellek.
“The husband heard the explosion outside when the power lines were coming down,” Pellek said. “He then heard a bang in his basement. He went down and saw the electrical panel on fire. He tried to use a fire extinguisher to slow the fire, then came back up and said, ‘We gotta get out of here.’”
Pellek said the man “literally didn’t have shoes on his feet” when firefighters arrived. “But he got his wife, kids and two dogs out,” he said.
Pellek said the power surge’s damage to the wiring of the other houses was significant, especially to the one across the road. “How that guy’s house didn’t burn down to me was unbelievable,” Pellek said.
Due to the damage sustained by the other houses, the occupants – while allowed to stay in their homes – cannot use electricity until inspections and repairs are made, said the fire official.

ROXBURY, NJ – Saturday saw the Roxbury Environmental Commission once again sponsor and take part in Raritan Headwaters' 33rd Annual Stream Clean-up, an event that usually makes Roxbury Councilman Fred Hall both proud of the volunteers and disgusted with the level of garbage they remove.
But this year was a little different, said Hall. The longtime council member was surprised the cleanup team found the area less fouled than usual.
“The good news is that, for the first time in a very long time – although we did get quite a bit out of there – it wasn’t to the extent it’s been for the last few years,” Hall said. “So, it was a very positive thing.”

The event was well attended, with about 30 volunteers including Boy Scout Troop 156 and team members from New Jersey corporations, Hall said. "Ramsey Outdoor assisted once again in providing canoes so that litter could be removed from the water side of the banks."
In announcing the event at the April 11 meeting of the Roxbury Mayor and Council, Hall didn’t sound optimistic about what the cleanup crews were going to encounter. “It’s a mess every year and I just don’t get it,” he said at the meeting. “Every year we go in there and every year we probably get off 30 or 40 bags as well as tires and other debris.”
This year yielded “quite a bit of bottles and cans and debris,” Hall said in an interview on Sunday. “But it was not to the levels we have seen in the past … This was the first time - in the many, many years I’ve been doing this - that it did seem better.”
In particular, the crews encountered fewer discarded plastic bags, Hall said.
'People Just Drop Stuff'
There was much talk about litterbugs at the council meeting, a session that saw the council praise Roxbury Coordinator Kellie Ann Keyes for winning the NJ Clean Communities Municipal Coordinator Award at the 2023 Sustainability in Motion Conference in Atlantic City. As she does yearly, Keyes is spearheading a town wide litter cleanup effort on April 22.
At that meeting, Roxbury Councilman Mark Crowley lamented the number of discarded water bottles he encounters during his frequent hikes. Crowley expressed even stronger disdain for people who leave behind bagged dog waste.
“One thing I just can’t understand is … there are people on the trails that pick up after their dog, put it in a bag and then leave the bag,” Crowley said. “I gotta tell you that, in three miles, I can count 15 to 20 bags every week. I don’t understand the thinking of doing that. Really, it would be better to not use a bag.”
Crowley also lambasted people who leave “trash all over the place” at sites where the town provides garbage cans, such as Black River Park. “People just drop the stuff,” he said. “I don’t know if they park there, eat their lunch and decide they don’t need to take it out with them.”
Hall agreed. “I can’t, for the life of me, understand how we have that level of trash within the township. "Councilman Crowley’s 100 percent correct.”
Nevertheless, Hall was glad Saturday's cleanup didn't leave him as upset as usual. He praised Roxbury Environmental Commission Chairperson Jackie Vitiello, the coordinator of the event.
"Jackie has done a tremendous job with this annual cleanup for many years," he commented. "She is always teaming with other organizations to address environmental concerns. Roxbury is fortunate to have her."

ROXBURY, NJ – The Roxbury Jr. Gaels Cheer team fundraising effort got a boost recently when members of the Roxbury Rotary Club – after watching several of the young ladies perform – approved a donation.
Club members attending the organization’s April 27 gathering at Pub 199 voted to give the team $250. Rotarian Steve Alford said it’s important to support the Jr. Gaels sports teams.
“The high school teams that are good have good feeder programs,” Alford told his Rotary colleagues. “They always have new kids coming up, when they’re good. And when they are bad, it’s when their feeder programs fall apart.”

The Rotarians heard from Roxbury Jr. Gaels Cheer Team Director of Operations Jill Mangiro and Vice President Michelle Amaducci.
“We raise money every year for the program, but this year’s a little different,” Mangiro said. “We’re raising even more money. We’re really trying to elevate the program to the next level ... We have talented girls that are here for our program and passionate about it, so we want to provide them with what they need to look their best.”
Mangiro and Amaducci said the Jr. Gaels need better uniforms, music and choreography. The women said the teams need about $5,000 more to reach their goal for this year. For information about making a donation, email [email protected].
