About Me
R. Daniel Greenwald
L.Ac.,LMT
Hi, I'm Daniel Greenwald, a licensed Acupuncturist and Massage Therapist in New York with over 20 years of experience in both Eastern and Western medicine. I trained at the New York College for Holistic Health Education and Research.
My expertise in both acupuncture and massage therapy has played a key role in the physical rehabilitation of many patients, empowering them to lead healthier, more balanced lives.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient practice originating from Traditional Chinese medicine originating hundreds of years ago. It is a system of healthcare that views the body as having vital energy also known as “Qi” that flows through meridians connected to vital organs of the body. It involves inserting needles into specific points on the body to restore balance and health.
Acupuncture: Tiny Needles, Powerful Relief.
Anxiety Relief
Acupuncture can ease anxiety by stimulating the body’s natural pain-relievers—endorphins. These chemicals help reduce stress, improve mood, and block pain signals, promoting a sense of calm and overall emotional balance.
Depression Treatment
Acupuncture can help relieve depression by boosting mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, while also reducing inflammation in the body, supporting a calmer, more balanced emotional state.
Substance Abuse Treatment
Acupuncture has been used since the 1970s as a supportive treatment for substance abuse. Acupuncture may help reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and promote emotional balance during recovery.
Quitting Smoking
Can support smoking cessation by targeting auricular points to reduce withdrawal symptoms like cravings and irritability. It helps release endorphins and balance neurotransmitters, aiding mood and easing nicotine dependence.
Pain Management
Used for pain management by stimulating nerves and releasing endorphins—your body’s natural painkillers. Can reduce inflammation, block pain signals, and promote healing for issues like back, neck, and joint pain.
Alcohol Addiction Treatment
Used for decades as a supportive therapy for alcohol addiction. Acupuncture may help reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and support emotional regulation, making it a valuable tool in your recovery journey.

Pain Relief
Massage therapy can ease muscle pain from injuries, chronic tension, or overuse. By loosening tight muscles and improving flexibility, it can relieve discomfort from desk jobs, standing work, or everyday stress on the body.
Improved Circulation
Massage therapy helps improve circulation by increasing blood flow, which can reduce swelling, support tissue repair, and promote faster healing—making it beneficial for recovery from injuries or relieving general muscle soreness.
Enhanced Relaxation
Massage therapy stimulates the release of feel-good hormones. Serotonin stabilizes mood, dopamine boosts motivation and pleasure, and endorphins help reduce pain and stress—promoting overall well-being.
Increased Range of Motion
Can enhance joint flexibility and increase range of motion by loosening tight muscles and improving circulation. It’s especially helpful for those recovering from injuries or managing conditions like arthritis.
Fibromyalgia Treatment
May relieve fibromyalgia symptoms like muscle tenderness, fatigue, stiffness, and anxiety. Gentle techniques help relax the body, reduce discomfort, and support better sleep and mood for those managing this condition.
Other Health Benefits
Offers potential added health benefits like reducing high blood pressure through relaxation and easing diabetic symptoms by improving circulation. It may also promote better sleep by relieving stress and muscle tension.
I am a 68 years old and have been a client of Daniel’s for over 10 years. He truly takes pride in his treatments and is always able to find my discomfort without my assistance.
