“If You Suffer From Chronic Pain or Other Ailments, And Prescription Drugs or Conventional Medicine Have Failed To Produce the Desired Results…”
There is a Natural, Safe, Effective and Drug Free Alternative…
If you’ve tried conventional medical treatments without results, or you’re concerned about the risky side effects of prescription drugs, you should consider the acupuncture alternative.
Hello, we are licensed acupuncturists Scott Paglia and Ryan Barber here at the Acupuncture Health Center in Bellingham.
Did you know that in the 20th century, acupuncture and Chinese medicine served more than 2 billion people in Asia, the former Soviet Union and Europe?
Acupuncture can help where other forms of treatment have failed and the best part is there are no side effects.

Things to Consider if You’ve Never Tried Acupuncture:
More than 20 million Americans have used acupuncture
Medical doctors refer their patients to acupuncturists more than any other “alternative" care provider
The NIH and World Health Organization have both given formal approval of certain uses of acupuncture
Growing numbers have sought out acupuncturists for chronic pain and health problems when conventional medicine either hasn’t worked nor has answers
51% of medical doctors believe acupuncture to be efficacious and of value
“What Every Person Ought to Know About Acupuncture…”
There are in fact changes that happen in our bodies when acupuncture is performed. Consider the scientific theories below as evidence of this truth:
- Studies using radioactive tracers have shown that acupuncture channels (meridians) are in fact distinct channels that are separate from blood vessels and lymph vessels.
- Acupuncture points on the body generally have a higher electrical resistance than surrounding tissue.
- The conduction of electricity through our bodies is faster through the meridians than it is through the rest of the body.
- An electrical charge initiated at one acupoint can be received at a distant point on the same meridian.
- The acupuncture needle can act as an antenna and attract electromagnetic energy to pass it into tissue.
- Acupuncture also makes the brain release neuropeptides that are helpful in relieving pain.
- Another theory claims that needles can jam the pathways and prevent pain signals from reaching the brain.
Does Acupuncture Hurt?
Generally, acupuncture does not hurt. Some people feel the needles as they go in, and some people feel nothing. Acupuncture needles are solid needles, not hollow like hypodermic needles, and they are much, much thinner – about the diameter of a thick human hair. Some patients often feel a slight tingling sensation and others might feel a mild, dull ache indicating the acupuncture point is being activated and the treatment is working.

“For the first time in my twenty years of asthma inhalers, I have been able to cut my medication in half as a result of acupuncture treatments and herbal formulas. I hope to eliminate inhalers completely, in time, by continuing my treatments at the Acupuncture Health Center.”

“Acupuncture gave me back my life! It not only treated the pain I was having, it improved all aspects of my health, body and mind. Acupuncture has put me on the path to total health! Don’t take pills, get acupuncture!”

“Scott and “magical” Marie have introducted me to a whole new world of health and wellness. It is wonderful to be free of pain and to have renewed energy!”

“For five years, two lung doctors said my problem breathing wasn’t fixable. Then Scott helped my phrenic nerve to move my right diaphragm to fill my lung again. He also took away the pain in my arthritic finger and has treated my 80 year old aches and pains. I have recommended several friends and family to Scott and Marie.”
Roni

“The Acupuncture Health Center has been able to help me when traditional “Western” medicine has either given up or has suggested invasive procedures with a record of unreliable results. Perhaps equally important is that, if Scott and Marie cannot help a patient, they will be honest about it and suggest alternative treatment elsewhere.
The staff is friendly. Scott and Marie are easy to talk to and never make me feel embarrassed. The office ladies are helpful and attentive. I especially enjoy the atmosphere of relaxed good humor that usually pervades the space.
P.S. The heated tables are wonderful, especially on a cool day, and I am invited and encouraged to listen to my Ipod.”
