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.

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.

Director Matthew Clark expressed his enthusiasm for the production, stating, "After seeing Proof multiple times in college, I was drawn to the ideas and concepts of the show. For anyone interested in math, this show embraces numbers and concepts that challenge your math abilities."
The talented cast of four brings the characters to life with depth and authenticity. Elizabeth Engelberth delivers a captivating performance as Catherine, navigating a range of emotions as she confronts the possibility of inheriting her father's mental illness. Engelberth commented, "Proof is one of my very favorite plays. It's a moving, humorous, and very human story.”
Caitlin Rose Jurewicz adds humor to the mix with her portrayal of Claire, Catherine's sister from New York, providing a balanced perspective to the play's dramatic themes. Jurewicz described why she is excited to be involved in Proof. "It's such a powerful piece, about love and madness and how they go hand in hand. I wanted to help tell that story."
Brad Bebout's portrayal of Robert, the mathematical genius grappling with mental illness, offers a poignant glimpse into the complexities of genius and human struggle. Bebout said of the play, "It will touch parts in everybody’s personality and experiences."
Alison Beth's portrayal of Hal, Robert's assistant, brings a fresh perspective to the character, adding depth to the narrative with her authentic acting. When asked what the audience will think about after the show, Alison explained, "The characters experience grief and despair, as well as joy and hope, resulting from their deep connections with one another. The portrayal of these relationships will be meaningful and memorable to the audience.”
Returning Stage Manager, Bonnie Anderson, showcases her technical prowess with another stunning set design for the Roxbury Art Alliance. Anderson remarked, "Proof will make you question your understanding of those different folks in your life."
Proof will be presented in May for five showings by the Roxbury Art Alliance at Citizens Bank Theater in the Horseshoe Lake Complex in Succasunna: May 10, 11, 17 and 18 at 7:30 p.m., with a Sunday matinee performance on May 19 at 3:00 p.m.
As a precursor to the play, Roxbury Arts Alliance is hosting a discussion led by local psychologist Dr. Matthew Zakreski who provides therapy and coaching at The Neurodiversity Collective, which he founded. He is a university professor, author, and researcher on Giftedness.
Dr. Zakreski will explain neurodivergence, where genius falls in terms of neuropsychology, and what makes brains work differently.
He will also talk about the strategies and skills everyone can develop to protect their brains and mental health. All ages are welcome.
Tickets are available at www.roxburyartsalliance.org
Roxbury Arts Alliance is located within the Horseshoe Lake Complex at 72 Eyland Ave, Succasunna, NJ 07876.

ROXBURY, NJ - The Roxbury school district was honored recently with a Best Communities for Music Education designation from the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) Foundation, said the district.
It said the designation rewarded Roxbury "for its outstanding commitment to music education," noting the award program, in its twenty-fifth year, honors districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement for providing music access and education to all students.
To qualify for the Best Communities designation, district educators answered detailed questions about funding, graduation requirement, music class participation, instruction time, facilities, support for the music program and community music-making programs, the district said. Responses were verified by school officials and reviewed by The Music Research Institute at the University of Kansas.

"Research into music education continues to demonstrate educational/cognitive and social skill benefits for children who make music," the district said.
It said students, after two years of music education, show substantial improvements in how the brain processes speech and reading scores than less-involved peers. It also said students involved in music are more likely to graduate high school and attend college than those who do not.
"In addition, everyday listening skills are stronger in musically trained children than in those without music training," the district said. "Significantly, listening skills are closely tied to the ability to perceive speech in a noisy background, pay attention and keep sounds in memory. Later in life, individuals who took music lessons as children show stronger neural processing of sound. Young adults and even older adults who have not played an instrument for up to 50 years show enhanced neural processing compared to their peers."
Music education also provides enhanced social benefits including conflict resolution, teamwork skills and the ability to give and receive constructive criticism, according to the district.
Roxbury High School senior Stephen Padilla, Tri-M Music Honors Society president, agreed.
“Music education is really important as making music with others allows students to express themselves in ways they don’t get to during their other classes – students build teamwork and leadership skills just by being involved," he said. "I’ve learned great discipline through music and have experienced first-hand how hard work can lead to success.”

ROXBURY, NJ – Roxbury Mayor Jaki Albrecht took a hands-on approach to welcoming the new Spark Car Wash in Ledgewood on Friday: She became a happy employee.
The mayor climbed into the booth at the entrance of the Ledgewood car wash for a few minutes and, flashing a big smile, greeted customers and explained their vehicle cleansing options. A couple of visitors knew something was up.
“Aren’t you the mayor?” asked one. “Do you own this place?”

It was a fun twist on the usual “ribbon-cutting” ceremony, and somebody on hand – it could have been Roxbury Township Manager John Shepherd, Roxbury Councilman Mark Crowley or Roxbury Rotary Club Member Don Miller – quietly suggested Albrecht might have found herself a second career.
The customary ribbon-cutting did take place, and the mayor told the Spark Car Wash team she was thrilled to see the new business doing well. It opened in early March at the site of the former Legends Car Wash at 1425 Route 46.
“Welcome to Roxbury, Spark Car Wash,” she said. “I am very confident this will be the number one car wash in Roxbury. We are very excited to have you here.”
The ultra-modern facility is the fifth Spark Car Wash opened by the Summit-based company founded by Kyle Van Decker. William Housell, the company’s district manager, said it cost more than $5 million to build, noting the only thing left from Legends is the shell of the building.
In charge of day-to-day operations at the business is General Manager Calvin Alston, a 39-year-old Byram resident and father of three. He said the business is doing well – already reaching about 1,500 memberships despite a frustratingly rainy spring that yielded a few more “maintenance days” than he’d have preferred.
'We Want You to Come Back'
He said he’s determined to give Spark Car Wash customers the best experience possible, explaining he believes going to a car wash should be fun.
“Our number-one, main objective is customer service,” he said. “We understand the reason why you're coming to the car wash in the first place, which is a major thing because when you do come to the car wash, you're expecting a change of mood. Or maybe you're in a good mood, and you want to sustain that good mood. No one comes to the car wash without expecting that certain change of mood, so we want to make sure that your experience is going to be consistent throughout. We want you to come back.”
Paramount, when it comes to making people happy, is making their vehicles sparkle. During a tour of the behind-the-scenes areas of the Spark Car Wash, Alston and Housell proudly pointed to the proprietary systems including double-osmosis water filters, a variety of cleansing and protection agents and a computer system that takes up a whole wall.
They said the system knows the contours and accessories attached to members’ vehicles and customizes the wash parameters accordingly when they enter. Using sonar and lasers, the system follows each vehicle as it makes its way through the tunnel.
When vehicles reach the end, they are blown dry with high-intensity dryers that cost about $100,000 and eliminate the need for post-wash towling (and potential paint scratching) by employees. The outside of Spark Car Wash is a bank of double-hosed, high-suction vacuums with a variety of nozzles.
Alston said the new car wash has been welcomed warmly by people in Roxbury and beyond.
“We’ve had a really, really positive reaction,” he said. “I think that’s the reason why this will be a sustainable place. One thing I do know about this area is that it’s still a mom-and-pop town and … the community knows about us, everybody raves about us and how great we are, just because we’re giving them good customer service and a quality product.”

ROXBURY, NJ – A J. Crew Factory store will soon open in the Ledgewood building that formerly served as home to a Ruby Tuesday restaurant.
The apparel retailer, an offshoot of J. Crew that stocks a lower-cost line of clothing, obtained a “tenant fit-out” permit from the Roxbury Township Building Department on Feb. 8, according to township records. Workers have been inside the 5,142-square-foot Shops at Ledgewood Commons unit doing what it takes to convert the former eatery into an apparel retailer.
Roxbury’s Ruby Tuesday closed in August 2016. It was one of about 95 eliminated by the Maryville, TN chain as part of an “asset rationalization” that month.

The unit it vacated, adjacent to the Men’s Wearhouse haberdashery, was envisioned by The Shops at Ledgewood Commons developers as being a good place for a replacement restaurant. With that in mind, they included an outdoor area suitable for tables when they revamped the building.
J. Crew’s corporate press office did not return voice and email requests for comment about the forthcoming Ledgewood store. The company’s J. Crew Factory website indicates it is now searching for a director and assistant managers for the new outpost.
It says its J. Crew Factory outlets are stores, where shopping is “really fun,” and shoppers can find an “exclusive collection of colorful, classic styles at prices that can’t be beat – period.”
The current J. Crew Factory store closest to Roxbury is at Rockaway Town Plaza near the Rockaway Townsquare Mall.

ROXBURY, NJ – Although it failed in its 2023 attempt to secure state grant money to advance the rehabilitation of the historic Lafayette School in Lower Berkshire Valley, the township is not giving up on the building.
The Roxbury Mayor and Council this week agreed to apply to Morris County for some grant money that would help pay for exterior renovations of the 103-year-old structure. The application must be submitted by March 28, according to Roxbury Township Manager John Shepherd.
The first phase of the exterior renovation is estimated to cost about $302,000. If approved, the county grant would cover 80 percent of that cost, with Roxbury obligated to come up with the remaining $60,000, said Shepherd.

He said the money could come from Roxbury’s Open Space Trust Fund.
“The remaining exterior work will consist of a similar budget as 2024 so in a future year, possibly 2025, the township will again need to commit approximately $60,000 from the Open Space Trust Fund if the county funds the remainder of the project cost,” Shepherd told the council in a Feb. 21 memo.
He said Roxbury could “continue to apply for grant funds to restore the interior” once the outside of the building is in good shape. “The restoration of the interior will not be urgent since the exterior restoration will result in a weatherproof building,” he said.
The township does not have a plan for how the restored building will be used. The Canal Society of New Jersey was going to use the structure as its headquarters, but it backed out of the deal.
Shepherd said the state’s refusal last year to provide money for the project appeared to be partly related to the building’s uncertain future. “It is my understanding that the most significant drawback from receiving state funding is the planned use of the building after renovation,” he told the council in his memo.
He reiterated that point at Tuesday’s council meeting: “They were not satisfied with our re-use plan for the building and just thought we weren’t quite in the position to get state grant funding.”
In an interview, Roxbury Mayor Jaki Albrecht said the main concern right now is protecting the building from further deterioration.
