Chronic Pain Management
Our acupuncture treatments target chronic musculoskeletal pain through precise needle placement and microcurrent therapy. Combining traditional meridian theory with modern pain science, we address conditions like plantar fasciitis, sciatica, and failed back surgery syndrome. IBM Watson analyzes global research to optimize needle protocols and duration for lasting relief.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Specialized acupuncture protocols treat neuropathy, post-stroke recovery, and nerve-related pain. We integrate modern neuroanatomy with traditional techniques to stimulate nerve regeneration. Customized herbal supplements support cellular healing, while AI analysis ensures optimal treatment sequences for maximum functional recovery.
Headache Therapy
Our approach combines traditional acupuncture points with targeted muscle release techniques for migraine and tension headache relief. Through AI-driven pattern analysis, we identify triggers and optimize treatment frequency. Patients report reduced headache frequency and intensity within 4-8 sessions, with lasting benefits through maintenance care.
Gastrointestinal Support
We address IBS, acid reflux, and other digestive disorders through acupuncture that regulates gut motility and reduces inflammation. Herbal medicine formulations target specific imbalances, while AI analysis ensures safe herb-drug interactions. Personalized dietary recommendations complement weekly treatments for comprehensive digestive system restoration.
Smoking Cessation
Our protocol uses auricular acupuncture points combined with behavioral modification techniques. IBM Watson identifies the most effective point combinations from global clinical data. Patients receive weekly treatments and stress management guidance to overcome nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Andrew Kingoff does a great job with acupuncture! It was my very first time with acupuncture and I must say it was a very relaxing and pleasant experience. Andrew took the time to find out what was causing me pain/discomfort and provided some needed remedies. Highly recommend to all.

I met Andrew years ago and have been a patient ever since. I came to him for several reasons and first and foremost, Andrew listens. He is calm and attentive and never rushes the appointment. During treatment he would explain what he was going to do and how it would help. I had results immediately and returned weekly and then for maintenance. Andrew's knowledge of Chinese Medicine is extensive. The herbs presented were exactly what I needed and kept me from using OTC pain medicine. Andrew's natural ability to care for people is evident. He truly wants you to live a good life and helps you on that path. I highly recommend Andrew.

Andrew is my go to acupuncturist! The depth of his knowledge and number of years as a practitioner make him the best in the field. His office space is conveniently located in SeaGate area, it is calming and inspires confidence, and the safety measures make me feel so comfortable. I suffer from occupational overuse injuries that are chronic and sometimes the ONLY relief I get is when I see him! If you're in the market for a new acupuncturist, book an appointment now. If you've never tried acupuncture but have been curious, book an appointment now. See how acupuncture could be a part of your overall health and wellness regimen.

I was hesitant about trying alternative therapy for my chronic back pain, headaches and high lipids. Someone suggested acupuncture and they highly recommended Andrew Kingoff. It was amazing to see how detailed and thorough Andrew was with me as a patient. He was very personal, professional and willing to explain any questions I had about his craft and traditional herbs he had prescribed to me. After several sessions he had reduced my back pain significantly, headaches are now rare and less intense, and lipids have gone back to normal levels! I continue to see him after these successful treatments and I highly recommend anyone else to Andrew Kingoff if they are looking for the best acupuncturist in Wilmington!

I saw Andrew at 41 weeks pregnant to help induce labor naturally and avoid a medical induction, as I was a week past my due date. After he treated me I went into labor that very evening! I definitely think the acupuncture helped move things along and allowed my contractions to start. He was very professional and explained the procedure thoroughly. I was able to relax despite being in a stressful time. I highly recommend him to women during pregnancy or anyone seeking acupuncture for other reasons!
