Definitely!
"Acupuncture may help reduce pain and improve patients’ quality of life. There’s research that shows acupuncture may help decrease pain perception. A journal article in Anesthesiology Journal wrote, “Electroacupuncture blocks pain by activating a variety of bioactive chemicals through peripheral, spinal, and supraspinal mechanisms. These include opioids, which desensitize peripheral nociceptors and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines peripherally and in the spinal cord, and serotonin and norepinephrine, which decrease spinal n-methyl-d-aspartate receptor subunit GluN1 phosphorylation. Additional studies suggest that electroacupuncture, when combined with low dosages of conventional analgesics, provides effective pain management that can forestall the side effects of often-debilitating pharmaceuticals” (Zhang et al., 2014).

Acupuncture is a great option for both acute and chronic back pain. This is because it helps to reduce inflammation, decrease muscle tightness and heal your body from the inside out. Acupuncture also uses your own body's hormones to relieve pain.

Yes. Acupuncture, combined with massage and sometimes herbs is very effective for lower back pain.
Yes, indeed. Back pain was the very first thing that the NIH approve acupuncture for. It is very effective.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the American National Institutes of Health (NIH), based on a series of clinical trials designed with strict methodological criteria, published a list of indications of Medical Acupuncture, which has also been accepted by IASP (International Association for the Study of Pain).
Diseases, symptoms and conditions for which acupuncture has been proved effective with controlled, clinical trials are:
• Stroke
• Headache (including migraine)
• Facial pain (including trigeminal neuralgia and temporomandibular joint disorders)
• Toothache
• Neck pain
• Low back pain
• Sciatica
• Knee pain
• Sprain pain
• Shoulder periarthritis
• Epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Post-operative pain
• Epigatric pain (peptic ulcer, acute and chronic gastritis)
• Renal colic
• Biliary colic
• Dysmenorrhea
• Chemotherapy- and radiotherapy-induced side effects
• Nausea and vomiting
• Morning sickness
• Leukopenia
• Allergic rhinitis
• Hypertension
• Hypotension
• Correction of the fetal position
• Induction of labor
• Depression
So acupuncture does help relieve the pain.

There are very few things that would create a contraindication for acupuncture. As long as you don't have hemophilia or some other bleeding disorder, yes, you can receive acupuncture for your low back pain. Pain management is one place where the science is virtually overwhelming in terms of acupuncture's effectiveness versus placebo and it's effectiveness versus standard treatment.
