Based on my understanding, traditional Eastern Asia medicine relies heavily on blood flow, chi is something that comes after it. In modern medicine blood is something that helps regenerate body, by flowing blood to certain part of body using Acupuncture can help body heal itself faster. Medicine(any chemical compound) you eat reacts and preset a condition for your body, when you enlarge or slows down your blood flow it creates different scenarios. Acupuncture is actually better than exercise because peak benefit of exercise requires entire part of body to have no imbalance(some have more stress some have less stress) exercise will make the part of body that have more stress to wear down more, acupuncture are using meridian points system to guide blood flow by having needles pinched in certain part of body, that and also cupping. Think of it like a 45 min exercise without potentially harming your body.
