The basis of acupuncture is the balancing, strengthening, and harmonizing of the body's innate healing tendencies. It is used for preventative maintenance, to treat many common health conditions, and to speed the recovery from traumatic injury. The treatment of pain is the most well-known and documented use of acupuncture, though patients with virtually all forms of illness report benefits from its use since its focus is on correcting underlying imbalance and not just on fighting a specific illness or symptom. Computer imaging of the brain during an acupuncture treatment shows dynamic activity occurring in many regions and structures within the brain. This modern research has shown that stimulating an acupuncture point causes an increase in the production of endorphins and simultaneously activates the immune and endocrine systems.

The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture's ability to treat over 200 commonly encountered clinical disorders.
