Can offer pain control on temporary basis
Acupuncture can heal back pain.
The effectiveness of acupuncture is going to vary according to the individuals involved. What, exactly, is causing your back pain will play a role. How you, as an individual, respond to acupuncture will play a role. How well trained your provider is will play a role. How well you and your provider communicate will play a role - in other words, how good are you at describing what you're experiencing and how good is your provider at translating your descriptions into something meaningful in the context of Chinese medicine?
Assuming all those things align, acupuncture can be very effective when treating back pain.
