I've heard that acupuncture is good for treating back pain. Is it true?

It’s true that acupuncture has been found to be effective in the treatment of back pain, but there are other treatments that have also been found to be beneficial. Acupuncture involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body and stimulating them with a low electrical current. Other treatments such as physical therapy, massage therapy, chiropractic care, and lifestyle changes can help relieve back pain as well.
