At Paso Acupuncture & Wellness Center, we aim to bring the body and mind back to its natural state of alignment: healthy, strong, and tranquil. Our approach to sickness, disease, and pain is a holistic one, focused on treating the whole person, rather than chasing individual symptoms. After all, humans are more than a sum of their parts that uniformly respond to a set of instructions.
We recognize that everyone is unique. Therefore, treatment at Paso Acupuncture involves giving each patient a tailored and personalized healing experience. We are experts at making your acupuncture experience safe, comfortable, and effective! All to often we are living with marginal health and a depressed spirit. Our chronic condition becomes our new normal, as we seek to live with pain and disease.
Our health is managed by a multitude of prescription medications thrust upon us by over-scheduled doctors with little time to listen. We're told the discomfort we feel is simply "normal aging" and that we should "learn to live with it" while taking pills that may or may not be working.

It involves inserting fine (about the girth of a human hair), sterile needles at various depths into specific points found along the body's energetic pathways.
These pathways, often called meridians or jing-luos, are the conduit in which Qi (pronounced "chee"), or life energy, flows throughout the body.

It's a common misconception that acupuncture will hurt, which often prevents people from getting the treatment they need.
While every experience is different, acupuncture generally produces very little discomfort or pain.
Even those with severe "needle phobia" tend to have a very positive experience.
You might experience a heavy, throbbing, or distending feeling under the needles, called "Qi".
Acupuncture practitioners "call the Qi" to certain areas of the body to elicit the healing response or eliminate pain.
