Yes, both acupuncture and acupressure are effective for back pain.
Acupuncture is highly effective to treat low back pain and one of the most common indications. I see patients come in for. Acupressure can also be effective as well as it follows similar principles as acupuncture. Some acupuncturists, physical therapist, chiropractors, and massage therapists do cupping, which can also help. Kathy Martin, MS.Ac. Beach Acupuncture

For back pain I suggest you see an acupuncturist who can help you out using the modalities of massage, acupuncture and maybe herbs.
I don't know if acupressure is effective for back pain as I practice acupuncture, which is extremely effective.
We will exam 1st. Then provide dry needling 1st. Patients will find instant results in general.
Depending on patients’ medical histories and conditions, each patient will have different responses. Patients will have to follow up in 3-7days depending on severity.
Patients will be examined again on how much difference they have experienced since the initial acupuncture treatment.
Then we can give patients a plan for symptomatology.
If we find limitations in improvements, we will apply different plans as a holistic approach.
I don't use a lot of acupressure. The reason I don't use it a lot is because, compared to acupuncture, acupressure doesn't give relief as quickly and that relief doesn't last as long.

In other words, in my opinion, pressure techniques are not as good as acupuncture (using needles).
