Dr. Ajay Purohit, DTCM — treating chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, sciatica, nerve pain, arthritis, and complex pain conditions at Spectrum WellCare, 2295 S. Hiawassee Rd, MetroWest Orlando FL 32835.
Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for three months or longer. In MetroWest Orlando and throughout Central Florida, it is one of the most common — and most undertreated — conditions Dr. Purohit sees at Spectrum WellCare.
What makes chronic pain so difficult to treat conventionally is that it is not simply an injury that hasn't healed. Over time, chronic pain involves central sensitization — a process by which the nervous system becomes hypersensitive and amplifies pain signals even without ongoing tissue damage. This is why patients with chronic pain often hurt in ways that don't match what imaging shows, and why treating the structural finding alone rarely produces lasting relief.
Acupuncture in MetroWest Orlando approaches chronic pain differently — by identifying and treating the underlying pattern of imbalance that is allowing pain to persist, rather than targeting only the site of pain.
For patients with nerve involvement — including sciatica, neuropathy, and post-injury nerve damage — Dr. Purohit combines acupuncture with MPS (Microcurrent Point Stimulation) therapy, which directly targets nerve pathways using gentle electrical stimulation.
The addition of personalized Chinese herbal medicine through the Harmonize System addresses the internal deficiencies and stagnation patterns that drive chronic pain at a systemic level — continuing the healing process between acupuncture sessions.

There is no fixed timeline. The starting plan depends on the condition, how long it has been present, overall health, goals, treatment frequency and individual response. Progress is reassessed rather than promised within a set number of visits.
Acupuncture may be considered as complementary care for persistent post-surgical pain after appropriate medical evaluation. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, healing status, medical history and current treatment plan.
Workers Compensation may cover acupuncture for an accepted work-related claim when the care is authorized. Coverage and visit limits must be verified before treatment.
