Potomac's Closest Acupuncture Neighbor
Look across the river from Potomac and you're looking at McLean — our side of the American Legion Bridge. We don't keep a Maryland office, and the honest frame is a short drive: from Potomac Village, our clinic at 1481 Chain Bridge Rd, Ste 300 is 15 to 20 minutes away, closer than much of Montgomery County's own sprawl. Care here is deliberately unhurried — 60 minute initial sessions, fragrant tea afterward, and no assembly line.
Membership & standing appointments
Buy a package of 5 or more massage sessions and membership is automatic — no fee, no signup. Members pay $80 per 60 minute massage, and cupping, gua sha, and hot stone add-ons are free. With 9 AM to 9 PM hours all 7 days, a standing Tuesday slot or Sunday wind-down actually holds; the math lives on the packages page.

Conditions & Recovery Goals
Potomac arrives with goals as often as diagnoses — keep the golf swing honest, survive the tennis ladder, sleep through the night. Research suggests acupuncture may help with each, within limits:
- Golf, tennis, and activity injuries — recovery support, not ligament repair
- Stubborn low back pain from garden season and long drives
- Stress and sleep that won't settle, even on quiet streets
Signature services
Alongside classic acupuncture from licensed practitioners — Virginia licenses acupuncturists through its Board of Medicine — with 15+ years of practice: gua sha and warming hot stone therapy, and facial acupuncture quoted personally at consultation. The full menu and pricing live on our core McLean page.

Getting Here from Potomac
Pick your river crossing:
- The Beltway: River Rd or Democracy Blvd to I-495, over the American Legion Bridge, then the Route 123 / Chain Bridge Rd exit toward McLean — 15 to 20 minutes from Potomac Village outside rush hour.
- The scenic route: MacArthur Blvd through Cabin John to the Clara Barton Parkway, cross at Chain Bridge, and Route 123 delivers you to our door — steadier when Beltway traffic misbehaves.
Parking, unpriced
A free surface lot at the building, Ste 300 signed from the entrance — no meters, no valet, no circling. Arrive 10 minutes early for a first visit; there's tea, WiFi, and no waiting-room churn.
