Tell pgfplots to put tick labels between tick marks

Is it possible to tell pgfplots to put tick labels between the tick marks instead of at the tick marks?
MWE:
documentclass[margin=5pt]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz}
usepackage{pgfplots}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
begin{axis}[
width=5in,
height=3in,
axis lines=middle,
scaled ticks=false,
xtick=empty,
xmin=0,
xmax=3,
extra x ticks={0,1,2,3},
extra x tick labels={low,high,med},
]
addplot [mark=*,draw] coordinates {(0.5,2) (1.5,4) (2.5,3)};
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Result:
I can do it manually by adding
xticklabel style = {xshift=1.9cm,align=center},
but this seems unsatisfying, unreliable, and requires too much trial and error.

@LarrySnyder610 Now there are no more ticks at the extra positions.
– marmot
May 18 at 13:36
OK, that works. It's still a little clunky IMO because there's a lot of manual handling (i.e., I'm still basically doing the x-shifting manually). In my actual figure, there are a lot more intervals on the x-axis, so it's a bit tedious, but workable. I was hoping there was just an option likelabels between ticks. Anyway, I'll keep my eye out for a more automated solution. Thanks!
