EXPERT
Andrew Kingoff
Acupuncturist
My primary focus is on pain. Whether pain from injury, arthritis, headaches, neuropathy, burns, shingles, or cramps, Acupuncture is a great therapy. Beyond pain, I specialize in what Oriental Medicine calls "Diseases of the Head". This includes headaches, insomnia, stress, anxiety, irritability, poor concentration, and tinnitus. It also includes nicotine addiction. Since 2000, I've helped hundreds of smokers become ex-smokers.
I have also performed hundreds of labor inductions. Woman facing late delivery dates and induction with pitocin are often able to deliver on time without chemical induction. This is a common practice in China, East Asian, and parts of Europe. Sadly, many American Acupuncturists will not perform this out of fear of liablity . Acupuncture labor inductions are far safer than pitocin, a lot gentler, and less expensive.
Why Kingoff Acupuncture? My practice is patient centered and results oriented. I've spent over 20 years listening to teachers and patients, focused on the conditions for which Acupuncture is best suited. I don't make assumptions, I make decisions based on the patient's best interest and only after I have the necessary information. I refer patients to other practitioners, including other Acupuncturists, when appropriate.
Acupuncture was intended to be easy, effective, and life-enhancing. If that is what you are looking for, call my office at (910) 791-3349.
