Yes, acupuncture treatments can heal the back hernia.
Yes. It will take at least 2 sessions per week for at least 4-6 weeks using the modalities of acupuncture, massage and herbs.
Back hernia pain can often improve with treatments such as physical therapy, pain medication, and lifestyle modifications. In some cases, injections or surgery may be necessary. Consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
I would call the acupuncturists in your area and ask if they have had success with treating hernia pain.
Back pain only comes from soft tissue injury (muscle/fascia strain) in the back (usually pelvis too) and is  unrelated to the spine simply because the spine has no pain sensation, including herniated disc, pinched nerve, bone spur, slippage of vertebra, etc. It means that the only thing to be treated is the strained muscle/fascia, not the hernia. The hernia causing no pain whatsoever can be left alone and it does not matter whether the hernia remains there or not. Back pain can be easily cured within 1-3 hours by releasing the strained soft tissue with light touch, i.e., Touch-and Hold of The Precision Method to initiate self-healing. Back pain is not to be treated with medications, injections, surgery, manipulation, massage, heat/cold applications, traction, electrotherapy, stretching, strengthening, etc. This is detailed in my book "NO MORE PAIN  All Pain Considered - A Breakthrough"
Acupuncture can help with pain management:

Acupuncture may help reduce pain and improve patients’ quality of life. There’s research that shows acupuncture may help decrease pain perception. A journal article in Anesthesiology Journal wrote, “Electroacupuncture blocks pain by activating a variety of bioactive chemicals through peripheral, spinal, and supraspinal mechanisms. These include opioids, which desensitize peripheral nociceptors and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines peripherally and in the spinal cord, and serotonin and norepinephrine, which decrease spinal n-methyl-d-aspartate receptor subunit GluN1 phosphorylation. Additional studies suggest that electroacupuncture, when combined with low dosages of conventional analgesics, provides effective pain management that can forestall the side effects of often-debilitating pharmaceuticals” (Zhang et al., 2014).
