Yes, acupuncture can be done on the back. However there are other points that will address your back pain as well. Therapeutic massage may also be an effective tool we can use with acupuncture.

Absolutely. Acupuncture is very effective for back pain. And not all points are in the back. Some of the most effective ones for low back pain are in the legs, so don't be surprised. Your practitioner will still be treating your back.
Of course, there are more than 100 trigger points in the back, Most lazy acupuncturists only do back points, so they do not need to worry about the formula of the trigger points to heal a disease. A good Acupuncturist will do more than a back location. In fact, it all depends on your symptom.
Yes, but...acupuncture does not always have to be done in the local area in order to get results. I often treat back issues elsewhere on the body and patients still get the pain relief they're seeking. Just because you have pain in a particular location does not necessarily mean needles must go there.
