Hijama near Burke, VA
Getting here from Burke
From Burke the practice is about 10.7 miles away, roughly 20 minutes by car.
From the middle of Burke the route is Burke Lake Road west to the Fairfax County Parkway, then north on the parkway for nearly seven miles, a short stretch of West Ox Road, and into Fair Lakes. No interstate, no tolls. From Burke Centre, near the VRE station, join the parkway a little further north and take a few minutes off.
These are clear-road figures from OpenStreetMap routing, checked in October 2026. Weekday rush hour can stretch them a long way, so check your map on the day, just before you leave. The parkway is busiest at the weekday commute, and its traffic lights are where it slows. Outside those hours, twenty minutes is about right.
Why it suits Burke
Burke is one of the closest towns to the practice, and the whole drive is on the parkway most people here already use. That makes it easy to keep hijama up at the rhythm most people settle into, once every three months, without it becoming a day out. If it is your first time and you are wondering whether it hurts, we have answered that honestly below.
When you get to Fair Lakes
The address to put into your phone is 4401 Fair Lakes Ct, Fairfax, VA 22033. We are inside the HAWA Fairfax Community Center, in Room 401a on the fourth floor.
From West Ox Road, Fair Lakes Parkway is the turn, and the building is just off it. The community center is a low, dark-glass building set back behind trees, with a paved path up to the entrance. There is no clinic sign outside, so look for the building, not a sign.
Parking is free. Use the lot outside the building; park anywhere, no permit is needed. The parking lot, the entrance and the restroom are wheelchair accessible, and there is an elevator up to the fourth floor.
Come a few minutes early. A few screening questions come first, then the session; allow about an hour and a half for brothers and two hours for sisters. What to eat, wear and bring is on the booking page.
