He graduated cum laude from Tulane University with a BS in Psychology, and earned his Master in Public Health (MPH) in Health Systems Management from the Tulane School of Public Health.
He attended LSU Medical School pursuing his MD before leaving to dedicate himself fully to Chinese Medicine. He graduated with honors from the Florida College of Integrative Medicine, passed all NCCAOM national board exams, and has spent his career treating the complex, chronic conditions that other practitioners give up on.

What it is: Chronic pain is persistent pain lasting 3 months or longer — in your back, joints, neck, or throughout your body — that doesn't go away even after the original injury heals. Many patients describe it as a dull ache, burning, or stiffness that affects every part of their daily life.
How Dr. Purohit treats it: Acupuncture targets the specific meridian pathways driving your pain pattern, reducing inflammation and interrupting the pain-signaling cycle. The Harmonize herbal system addresses internal imbalances — often heat, stagnation, or deficiency — that keep pain chronic. MPS therapy is added for deep tissue and nerve involvement.
Request a callback for Chronic Pain →What it is: Migraines are intense, often one-sided headaches accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances. Chronic headaches can be tension-based, stress-related, or rooted in cervical dysfunction. If you get 4+ headaches per month or rely on pain medication regularly, you know the toll it takes.
How Dr. Purohit approaches it: Dr. Purohit creates a personalized acupuncture plan based on migraine frequency, triggers, symptoms, and the patient's Chinese medicine pattern. Acupuncture and customized herbal support may be used to help manage migraine frequency and severity. Treatment frequency and response vary by patient.
Request a callback for Migraines →What it is: Fibromyalgia causes widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep problems, and cognitive difficulties ("fibro fog"). It's one of the most commonly misunderstood conditions — often dismissed or undertreated by conventional medicine. Patients frequently describe feeling pain all over, exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest, and a sense that no one believes them.
How Dr. Purohit approaches it: Fibromyalgia often requires a personalized, multi-modal approach. Dr. Purohit may combine acupuncture, customized herbal medicine, MPS, and infrared therapy based on symptoms such as widespread pain, fatigue, poor sleep, and sensitivity. Progress is monitored and the treatment plan is adjusted as needed.
Request a callback for Fibromyalgia →What it is: Back and neck pain are among the most common conditions Dr. Purohit treats — from acute injuries to degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, stenosis, and postural dysfunction. Whether it started with an accident, sitting at a desk, or came on slowly over years, it disrupts sleep, work, and everything in between.
How Dr. Purohit approaches it: Dr. Purohit evaluates the location, history, movement patterns, muscle tension, and possible nerve involvement before recommending treatment. Acupuncture and MPS therapy may be used to address pain, restricted movement, muscle tension, and myofascial trigger points. The number of visits needed varies by condition and response.
Request a callback for Back & Neck Pain →What it is: Sciatica is shooting pain, numbness, or tingling that travels from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg — often to the foot. It's caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. It can make sitting, standing, driving, and sleeping unbearable.
How Dr. Purohit approaches it: Treatment is personalized according to the location of the pain, possible nerve involvement, muscle tension, and factors that aggravate the symptoms. Dr. Purohit may use acupuncture and MPS therapy to help manage pain, improve mobility, and address surrounding muscle tension. Results and treatment frequency vary.
Request a callback for Sciatica →What it is: Gut health issues range from IBS, bloating, and constipation to Crohn's disease, acid reflux, and chronic nausea. Many patients are told there's "nothing wrong" despite significant daily discomfort. The gut-brain connection means digestive problems often tie directly to stress and nervous system imbalance.
How Dr. Purohit approaches it: Chinese medicine evaluates digestive symptoms as part of a larger pattern involving diet, stress, sleep, and overall health. Dr. Purohit may combine acupuncture with customized herbal formulas based on the patient's individual pattern. Progress is reviewed regularly so treatment can be adjusted as symptoms change.
Request a callback for Gut Health →What it is: Anxiety is more than worry — it's a persistent state of tension, racing thoughts, shallow breathing, and physical symptoms like chest tightness, insomnia, and digestive upset. Many patients want relief without relying on medication long-term, or find that medication alone isn't enough.
How Dr. Purohit approaches it: Dr. Purohit develops a personalized treatment plan based on the patient's symptoms, stress patterns, sleep, and overall health. Acupuncture and customized herbal support may be used alongside appropriate medical or mental-health care to support relaxation and help manage stress-related symptoms.
Request a callback for Anxiety →What it is: PTSD involves flashbacks, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, sleep disturbances, and an overactive stress response that doesn't shut off. It affects veterans, first responders, and anyone who's experienced trauma. Many patients feel stuck in a cycle that therapy alone hasn't fully resolved.
How Dr. Purohit approaches it: Acupuncture may be included as part of an authorized VA Community Care treatment plan. Dr. Purohit provides acupuncture as complementary care and encourages patients to continue working with their mental health and medical providers.
Request a callback for PTSD →What it is: Insomnia means difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early — leaving you exhausted, irritable, and unable to function at your best. Chronic insomnia affects mood, immune function, pain levels, and cognitive performance. Sleep medication often creates dependence without addressing the underlying cause.
How Dr. Purohit approaches it: Chinese medicine considers the patient's sleep pattern, stress, energy, health history, and other symptoms when developing an insomnia treatment plan. Acupuncture and customized herbal support may be used to promote relaxation and support healthier sleep patterns. Response and treatment frequency vary by patient.
Request a callback for Insomnia →What it is: Chronic inflammation underlies many of the most stubborn health conditions — joint pain, digestive disorders, inflammation flares, fatigue, and more. When the body's inflammatory response stays activated long after an injury or trigger has passed, it becomes the driver of ongoing symptoms rather than a healing response.
How Dr. Purohit treats it: Acupuncture modulates the body's inflammatory signaling pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines and restoring balance. The Harmonize herbal system addresses the internal pattern driving chronic inflammation — Heat, Damp-Heat, or Blood Stasis — with targeted formulas that work between sessions. Infrared therapy is added for deep tissue inflammation.

Spectrum WellCare proudly supports veterans through the VA Community Care Program. Coverage requires an approved referral and authorization from the VA.
Serving veterans in MetroWest Orlando and all of Central Florida.
Herbal medicine treats the underlying condition — not just symptoms. Western drugs often control symptoms without altering the disease process. Chinese herbs work differently.
The Harmonize System is Dr. Purohit's method for creating personalized Chinese herbal medicine plans within a modern clinical framework. When appropriate, formulas are prepared as concentrated granules with dosing instructions based on the individual plan.
Three positions on each wrist linked to specific organ systems. Reveals energy, blood flow, excess, deficiency, heat, cold, and stagnation far beyond a Western pulse reading.
Color, shape, coating, and moisture reflect digestion, circulation, hydration, and systemic balance. Every detail informs your personalized formula.
No formula is written before a thorough evaluation. Pulse, tongue, symptoms, history, and constitution are all assessed before any herb is prescribed.
No two patients ever receive the same formula. Yours is built for your body and condition alone.
As you improve your formula is updated — a living treatment plan, not a static prescription.
Clear clinical categories — the practitioner quickly identifies the most appropriate formula base for your pattern.
Patients who found Spectrum WellCare after conventional medicine ran out of answers.
Dr. Purohit has the best technique I've ever experienced. I've tried three other acupuncturists and none come close. My flexibility is back and the pain that had been there for years is completely gone.
I came in with debilitating sciatica. Within 3 days of my first session the pain was almost completely gone. I had been suffering for 8 months. I wish I had found this place sooner.
As a veteran dealing with chronic pain and PTSD, finding VA-covered acupuncture at Spectrum WellCare changed everything. Dr. Purohit actually listens. He treats the real problem, not just the symptoms.
The Harmonize herbal program is unlike anything I've ever tried. He spent a full hour understanding my gut issues before prescribing anything. My IBS improved dramatically in just 6 weeks.
I've had weekly migraines for 15 years. Since starting treatment I've had maybe 2 in the last 4 months. My neurologist is amazed. Dr. Purohit found the root of what nobody else could explain.
MPS therapy is a game changer for anyone afraid of needles. Completely pain-free and highly effective. Dr. Purohit explained every step. I can't believe I waited so long.

Answers to common questions about acupuncture costs, insurance coverage, treatment frequency, first appointments and comfort.
Acupuncture costs vary based on whether you need an initial evaluation, a follow-up visit, and any additional services. Spectrum WellCare explains current fees and verifies available insurance benefits before scheduling. Request a free callback or call 407-347-5038 for an accurate estimate.
Some Florida Blue and other insurance plans include acupuncture benefits, but coverage, deductibles, copays, referrals, and visit limits vary by plan. Spectrum WellCare can verify your benefits before treatment. Use the insurance verification option on this page or request a free callback.
The number of visits depends on the condition, how long you have had it, your overall health, and how you respond to care. After the initial evaluation, Dr. Ajay Purohit recommends a personalized treatment plan and reassesses your progress rather than promising a fixed number of sessions.
Your first appointment includes a review of your health history, symptoms, goals, and relevant Chinese medicine findings such as pulse and tongue patterns. Dr. Purohit explains the recommended approach and answers your questions before treatment begins.
Most patients feel little or no discomfort, although a brief pinch, tingling, heaviness, or dull sensation can occur. Tell your practitioner about any discomfort during treatment. Spectrum WellCare also offers needle-free MPS therapy for appropriate patients who prefer an alternative to needles.
