We start with 6 sessions at 2x a week for 3 weeks. Everyone responses differently to treatment but usually expect you to be 30-40% better by the 6th session. Then we will taper down to every other week, so on and so forth.
You can try acupuncture for lower back pain.

For lower back pain I suggest you see an acupuncturist who can help you out using the modalities of massage, acupuncture and maybe herbs.

What can be done is going to be dependent on why, exactly, you are experiencing low back pain. If you haven't done so yet, I'd stop by your primary care provider and at least have some x-rays taken. Depending on what imaging shows, you may have several options. If this is acute low back pain, you didn't experience any recent trauma to the area, and you've never had low back pain before, it's entirely likely that the pain will go away on its own over the next week or so. Use heat on the area and keep things moving. To prevent a recurrence, you can try strengthening your core with something like yoga or calisthenics.
If this is acute pain that has persisted for several weeks or more chronic pain without any complicating factors, then things like acupuncture, chiropractic, or physical therapy can help alleviate the issue. Keep in mind that it may take multiple modalities (i.e. acupuncture and chiropractic) and multiple treatment sessions. If your primary care is concerned at all about what they see in the image, you may be looking at a neurological consult and, potentially, surgery.

Acupuncture is very effective for most kinds of back pain.
Hello!
Acupuncture is incredibly effective at alleviating low back pain. In addition to the acupuncture portion, the practitioner may choose to utilize cupping, guasha, tuina, or moxibustion to help reduce your pain. Dietary recommendations may also be provided as well as stretches to help alleviate pressure on the low back.
As always, in order to find the treatment that works best, a full consultation is required to determine the underlying cause of your low back pain.
