Damon Baram (LAc/LMT) at Wellspace

Licensed acupuncturists who also specialize in massage therapy aren’t exactly common in Manhattan. Damon Baram (LAc/LMT) at Wellspace offers both, blending traditional techniques with hands-on bodywork. The practice operates out of 32 Union Sq E, a spot that’s easy to overlook unless you’re specifically searching for holistic care in the area. Acupuncture sessions often pair with cupping or tuina, while massage clients might opt for deep tissue or myofascial release—no spa frills, just targeted work. Union Square’s constant energy makes it a fitting backdrop for a business centered on realignment, whether that’s physical or energetic.

Finding a practitioner who holds dual licenses in acupuncture and massage can cut down on the back-and-forth of coordinating separate appointments. Questions about availability or specific treatments are best directed to (917) 597-0678, though the map confirms it’s just steps from the 14th Street subway hub. Some clients book regular sessions to manage chronic tension; others drop in after a particularly stressful week. Either way, it’s one of those places that exists because people actually use it—not because it’s trying to be the next wellness trend.
