Russell Stram, PT, LAc.

Physical therapy and acupuncture rarely share the same doorway, yet at Russell Stram, PT, LAc they do. The practice sits on a stretch of West 39th Street where garment-district remnants brush against Midtown’s office towers—an intersection that feels both transient and permanent.

Here, manual therapy, sports rehabilitation, and dry needling coexist with traditional acupuncture protocols. Patients arrive for post-surgical recovery, chronic pain management, or stubborn joint restrictions; the sessions often blend modalities without fanfare. The address—55 W 39th St, New York, NY 10018—places the clinic a short walk from Bryant Park and the west side’s quieter sidewalks.

Acupuncture needles and resistance bands occupy the same toolkit, a pairing that reflects the neighborhood’s mix of old-school tailors and tech startups. Cupping, myofascial release, and corrective exercise plans are mapped out on paper, not screens; the approach stays tactile even as the city hums outside.

Reach out at (917) 484-0887 to schedule. Directions can be pulled from the maps listing; the front door is exactly where the pin drops. No need to guess which buzzer.
