Acupuncture for Migraines
in MetroWest Orlando, FL

Migraines that respond
to root-cause treatment

Migraines affect over 39 million Americans — and in MetroWest Orlando, Dr. Purohit sees migraine patients weekly who have spent years cycling through medications, Botox injections, and neurologist visits without achieving lasting reduction in frequency or severity.

The clinical research on acupuncture for migraine prevention is strong. A 2016 Cochrane systematic review of 22 trials found acupuncture at least as effective as prophylactic medication — with significantly fewer side effects. A 2020 study in the British Medical Journal found patients receiving acupuncture reduced migraine days by an average of 3.2 per month at 20-week follow-up.

At Spectrum WellCare, acupuncture in MetroWest Orlando is combined with the Harmonize herbal system for patients with frequent migraines — personalized herbal formulas that continue working between sessions, addressing the root pattern driving your headaches.
