yes.
Acupuncture works well with all types of pain and especially nerve pain emanating from the spine.
Acupuncture is well known for its high efficacy rate. In my clinical experience with over 12k patients, roughly 91% efficacy, with relieving spinal pain; one of the reasons ~90% medical doctor referral of acupuncture in integrative clinics such as the one I worked at in Los Angeles, CA. These are based off journal articles. Online this was the best study found: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/409858#:~:text=The%20proportion%20of%20responders%20(at,in%20the%20waiting%20list%20group .

Yes indeed, I treat spine pain all the time and it can work very well.
A lot is going to depend on why you're experiencing spinal pain. If you haven't done so already, go to your primary care and at least have some x-rays taken. Depending on what the x-rays do or don't show, an MRI might also be in the cards.
If the imaging doesn't provide a concrete diagnosis or the imaging does provide a diagnosis but conventional medicine doesn't offer much in terms of a resolution to the issue then, yes, acupuncture can often help.
