Acupuncture in Austin
Ashra currently provides Acupuncture in Austin, Texas. Acupuncture is an ancient technique dating back to 100 BCE. Furthermore, At Ashra we use stainless steel needles comparable to a strand of hair known as “filiform needles”. There are a vast array of different types of needles but each one is sterilized thoroughly and used once and only on one part of the body.
One of the goal when when administering acupuncture is to elicit the body’s natural healing response. This can be done through different mechanisms such as activation of the brain (2) and central nervous system (2) or through the fascia network (1).
It is not uncommon for people to experience different sensations when the needles are placed. Some may even feel a dull, achiness that us practitioners refer to as “de qi”. However, some feel nothing or have their own description!
