Acupuncture in Harding, NJ

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.

Common Techniques Used by Professional Acupuncturists

Professionals practicing acupuncture in Harding, 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

UNION, NJ – The Patriot’s Path Council Boy Scouts of America honored six individuals at their 2024 Good Scout Awards Dinner on Wednesday evening at Galloping Hill Caterers, including a Vauxhall woman and the head of Union's Senior Center.

Honored was Ronald Bubnowski, a native of Union and a former Burnet Middle School teacher, who is now a principal at Harding Elementary School in Kenilworth. Other honorees were Sal Dovi and Russell Triolo of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Union County, and Rocio Escalante, VP Branch Manager of Union County Savings Bank.

Ron has been dedicated to Scouting most of his life. He began with Pack/Troop 65 in Union where he developed a huge passion for Scouting and the outdoors. As an active troop member, Ron achieved the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout in 1994. His enthusiasm and devotion for Scouting continued after high school with significant experiences working at Winnebago Scout Reservation in 1997 and Philmont Scout Ranch in 1998 and 1999.

With a strong passion for education and inspiring youth, Ron taught at Burnet Middle School in Union for 11 years while taking classes after school hours to receive another master’s degree in administrative and supervision at Saint Peter's College. "Teaching is an honorable profession. It takes a certain and special type of person to be a teacher."

After receiving this particular degree, Ron wanted to get a job close to home and was familiar with Kenilworth. He started as the Brearley Middle High School Assistant principal in July 2009 and stayed at this position until 2012. He then moved on to Harding’s Assistant Principal in 2012 and continued until 2021. In May 2021 Ron was unanimously appointed as the Harding Elementary School Principal.

Ron returned to Scouting when his eldest son was of age, taking on positions which included Den Leader and Committee Chair Pack 150 in Bernardsville. He now serves as the Scoutmaster of Troop 150 in Bernardsville, where he recently celebrated a graduation class of 10 Eagle Scouts. Ron has led his troop on great adventures to Florida Sea Base, Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia and Philmont Scout Ranch three times.

Giving back to the Scouts gives Ron great joy, and he firmly believes in the transformative power of Scouting. He is grateful to share his experiences, hoping to inspire and guide his Scouts.

Congratulations Mr. Bubnowski!

CHATHAM, NJ – Chatham Board of Education President Ann Ciccarelli gave an update on the potential addition of Harding Township students to CHS at Monday night's regular BOE meeting.

Ciccarelli said that nothing had been decided, but gave a presentation on numbers that would benefit both communities if there is an agreement made for the start of the 2026-2027 school year. Harding's contract with Madison for its high school students runs through June 2025.

“I think we all agree that it's not sustainable to just keep raising taxes, raising taxes, raising taxes, raising taxes," board member Jill Critchley Weber said during the discussion on a Harding deal. “At some point, something has to give … this is kind of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to offset our reliance on property taxes. This is one of the only ways to increase revenue at this rate … I don't know if the negativity outweighs $1.8 million.”

Board member Bradley Smith, chair of the finance committee, noted that the revenue would equal the two percent tax levy of $1.48 million when calculated from last year's budget.

“It would be irresponsible for us even not to consider this,” Smith said. “So that's what we're doing, we're considering it. Nothing is signed. We're not going to make a bad contract.”

Update on Possible Starting Time Changes

Board member Susan Ross gave an update on possible start time changes for the Chatham Middle School and other realigned schools for the 2026-2027 school year. She said the possible time changes for CMS would be between 8:30 and 9 a.m and the lower grades from 7:40 to 8 a.m. Chatham Superintendent Michael LaSusa said the decision to change times for next year would be made by the end of January.
