Traditional Remedies Refined with Modern Solutions
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.
With targeted acupuncture applications, patients benefit from:
- Stress Relief
- Pain Relief
- Immune System Boost
- Hormone Balance
- Increased Endorphin Flow
- Better Sleep
- Improved Digestion

Common Techniques Used by Professional Acupuncturists
Professionals practicing acupuncture in Victory Gardens, NJ, use several techniques to achieve overall patient wellbeing, from Cupping and Gua Sha to Needling and Facials.
Cupping
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.
Cupping has many benefits, including:
- Reduced Body Pain
- Reduced Body Inflammation
- Enhanced Blood Flow
- Full-Body Relaxation
Needling
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.
What are trigger points in acupuncture?
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.
Benefits of needling include:
- Relief from Muscle Pain
- Improved Flexibility
- Relief from Muscle Cramps
- Relief from Sports Injuries
Gua Sha
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.
Benefits of Gua Sha include:
- Relief from Joint Pain
- Relief from Muscle Pain
- Help with Musculoskeletal Disorders
- Immune System Boost
- Reduced Body Inflammation

Dover residents to vote on $69M plan for new middle school, high school expansion

With Dover's public school population surging, the town's Board of Education wants to build a second middle school and expand the high school to combat overcrowding.
Residents in the school district will go to the polls on Tuesday, Dec. 13, to vote on a $69.3 million bond referendum to pay for the construction. If the proposal is approved, work could start at the end of next year and take two years to finish.
"The New Jersey Department of Education found that Dover has 700 more students than we have space for, and for the last two years, our student enrollment numbers have steadily risen," the district says on a website touting the referendum. "Our schools have been over capacity for decades."
If the referendum passes, state aid would cover $8 million of the projected cost. The district would borrow the money and pay it back over a period of 30 years.
Dover's school expansion plans
The middle school would be built between Dover High School and North Dover Elementary School, where tennis courts are now. The two-story building would include classrooms, science labs, a media center, a kitchen and art and music rooms, according to the district.
"Enrollment has been higher than capacity for years, and has continued to rise each month since November 2020," the district said. "Already some music and speech lessons are held in hallways and some offices have been converted for teaching. Some classes have as many as 30 students, and that number is higher than the ideal scenario."

How much would it cost taxpayers?
In Dover, the project would add an estimated $51 per month, or $611 annually, to the tax bill for a home assessed at $240,000, the town's average. Homeowners in Victory Gardens, whose students attend the Dover district, would pay an extra $48 per month, or $579 per year, on the average assessed home of $170,000. But taxpayers would see their bills decline by $10 a month starting in 2026, when the district finishes paying off debt for the last major renovations to local schools.
Solving overcrowding would benefit the entire community, even those without school-age children, the district argues on its website:
"School quality is a top reason people choose to move to a town," it said. "It affects community pride and home sales. To maintain the community’s good reputation, Dover public schools must have adequate space to teach students."
Where and when to vote
Registered voters from Dover and Victory Gardens can cast ballots on Dec. 13 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at their designated polling places. Dover’s Ward 1 residents can vote at Dover High School, residents from wards 2 and 3 can vote at Sacred Heart Parish Center, Ward 4 residents can vote at the Board of Education Administration Building. Victory Gardens residents can vote at the Victory Gardens Municipal Building.
Those who wish to view recordings of virtual question-and-answer sessions and public forums discussing the expansion, in both English and Spanish, can find them at dover-nj.org/vote.
