Of course, it depends on the cause of the back pain, whether or not surgery has already been performed, and if the condition is acute or chronic. In Chinese medicine a differential diagnosis would be conducted. I can think of 9 potential causes in just a couple of minutes of thinking about it. There would be a different treatment regimen depending on the diagnosis. Besides acupuncture I might prescribe Chinese herbs, physical exercise or therapy, tui-na or massage, qi gong, weight loss, occupational therapy, hydrotherapy, topical application of heat and/or cold, electro-acupuncture, et al.
The short answer is yes, especially before surgery. I have successfully treated hundreds of cases of back pain.

I believe it would depend on the etiology of the pain. Is is muscular, neurological, skeletal, etc. I have compression between 4L & 5L and have been pleased with the results I have experienced. Much depends on the training and ability of the practitioner. I have also used it for osteoarthritis of the right knee and get temporary relief.

I think it depends on the patient. It worked a treat on mother-in-law who is very spiritual and believing. It did nothing for my mother who is less open.
I think it's more psychological, if u believe it will fix you, that it may. If you think it's mumbo jumbo then it probably won't. If needles really held magical healing properties, then wouldn't everyone in China have had a pet porcupine befor they invented needles?
