People ask what can acupuncture treat? Nearly anything you can think of. Of course, it cannot repair structural conditions that require surgery like broken bones but it can aid in the healing process by encouraging bone growth & reducing scar tissue.
Most Pain conditions are rooted in the Musculoskeletal System. The soft tissues of the body need to be examined by touch to determine if another treatment option, such as Acupuncture or Chiropractic is needed. Many people make appointments for Acupuncture when they need Massage instead.

Vision and Strategy: WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy: 2014-2023
The strategic objectives are:
In 2003 the World Health Organization published a report about clinical trials researching the effectiveness of acupuncture. More than one hundred indications were discussed and divided into four groups concerning the strength of existing evidence.
The report is the only official WHO opinion about the effectiveness of acupuncture. Nevertheless, the level of evidence existing in 1998 was not high. The Authors included findings from Chinese trials which were not evaluated as highly reliable. For that reason the report and acupuncture itself was criticized by many scholars.
