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. That is the acupuncture Potomac patients cross the river for.
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.

Where Acupuncture May Help Potomac Patients
Most of the acupuncture Potomac patients book is aimed at a goal rather than a diagnosis — 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.

One Published Rate for Everyone
Potomac is used to being quoted a price after somebody has looked at the address. That does not happen here. There is one published rate, and it is the same across the river as it is on Chain Bridge Rd: 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 work, deep tissue, prenatal and postnatal sessions all sit on that line.
Lymphatic drainage is the only exception: $120 for 60 minutes, or $100 at the member rate. Cupping, gua sha and hot stone are $20 each added to any massage and free for members, with “member” meaning the five-session package rather than a monthly charge on a card.
What we quote rather than post
Package totals. Text 240-715-5939 and we will give you the number before you pay for anything — we would rather say it out loud than leave you doing arithmetic on a web page. Massage is self-pay; the plans we accept cover the acupuncture Potomac residents come for, not bodywork. For the market context behind that $100, the McLean massage price guide publishes the local range and the month it was verified. Fifteen to twenty minutes from Potomac Village, free lot at the door.
