Why Choose Harmony for Chinese Medicine in McLean
Chain Bridge Rd is McLean's quiet wellness corridor, and we practice right on it. Harmony is a private clinic — licensed practitioners with 15+ years of practice and 5,000+ clients served — where acupuncture anchors a full Chinese medicine menu: cupping therapy, tui na meridian massage, and gua sha and warming hot stone therapy under one roof.
Chinese-speaking practitioners
We serve McLean in English and Mandarin. Call or text 240-715-5939 in either language — many patients handle everything from booking to insurance questions entirely over text.
What to expect on your first visit
Your initial session takes a full hour. It starts with a consultation — health history, plus pulse and tongue assessment, the classical Chinese medicine diagnostics — followed by your first treatment. Fragrant tea, no rush. Our new patient guide walks through how to prepare.

Where Chinese Medicine May Help
Research suggests acupuncture may help with a range of common complaints, and roughly half of people who try it nationally do so for pain. In McLean we most often see:
- Back pain and sciatica
- Neck and shoulder tension from desk work
- Migraines and headaches
- Anxiety, stress, and poor sleep
- Fertility support alongside IVF or IUI
Honest limits: acupuncture is not a cure, and results vary from person to person. Red flags — progressive weakness, numbness in the groin, or loss of bladder control — need a physician now, not needles.

What a Massage Costs & How Members Pay Less
McLean is where the clinic actually sits, so this is a local rate rather than an estimate: at 1481 Chain Bridge Rd, Ste 300, a 60 minute massage is $100. The $80 rate is the member rate: membership costs nothing and has no signup form, and it applies once you have purchased a package of 5 or more massage sessions. Session by session, a 60 minute massage is $100. Meridian and tui na, deep tissue, prenatal and postnatal sessions all sit on that same line — style and pressure are not upcharges here.
Lymphatic drainage is the one exception on the menu: $120 for 60 minutes, or $100 at the member rate, because the hour is slower and more hands-on. Cupping, gua sha and hot stone add-ons are $20 each with any massage and free for members — “member” meaning the package described above, not a fee you pay.
Where the rest of the numbers live
Massage is self-pay: the plans we accept apply to acupuncture, not bodywork. Package totals are quoted before you buy — text 240-715-5939 and we will give you the number before you pay for anything. For how our rate sits inside the wider McLean and Tysons market, the McLean massage price guide lays out the range with the month it was checked, and the membership page explains the package mechanism in full. A lower price is a reason to come more often; it is never a reason to skip a doctor's appointment you already need.

Insurance & Pricing
We accept major insurances like UnitedHealthcare and Aetna, and insurance acupuncture sessions are billed through your plan. Self-pay is just as simple: $150 initial, $100 follow-ups, and the 5 session package at $80 per visit. Acupuncture is also generally an HSA/FSA-eligible expense — the card you already carry usually works here.
Do you accept my insurance?
The fastest way to find out: text a photo of your insurance card to 240-715-5939 and we'll verify your benefits before your first visit — coverage varies by plan, so we confirm rather than promise. Details on plans and self-pay rates live on our insurance page and pricing page.
