All back pain are not alike you need to be examined to be treated correctly
For back pain I recommend you find an experienced provider who treats using the modalities of acupuncture, therapeutic massage and herbs to help relieve and fix your back pain gradually.
On back.
It depends on what is going on. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
Depends where the pain is
It is important to meet a professional to create the most appropriate prescription for your condition.

There is a clear tender point in the scapular area, and you can press on that point.

Pressure points are on either side of your spine, alone the muscle ridge. You can press on these points near to where you pain is emanating. There are also points for low back pain on the back of your knee, directly in the middle.
There are many schools that teach this medicine. That is where this question would be answered. The energy is a system... the right point is based on identifying your imbalance, and then selecting the best points to remedy that... so you didn't even tell me if it was low or upper or mid-back pain.... too vague. Most importantly, find a professional who is fully trained in acupuncture... many states allow chiropractors, doctors, and heck, even physical therapists to put needles in people and call themselves acupuncturists... I wouldn't let any of those people near me. Ask questions.
There are many different points that can be used for back pain, including UB 40, SI 3, UB 62 and KD 3.
Usually, we chose the points based on patient condition, age, the severity of pain, causes of pain, etc.

YOU NEED TO LOOK FOR AN ACUPRESSURE SPECIALIST IN YOUR AREA. AS FAR AS ACUPUNCTURE POINTS, IF THE PAIN IS IN THE LOWER BACK, THEN BLADDER POINTS IN THE LUMBAR AREA WOULD BE INDICATED. LOWER BACK PAIN IS RELATED TO THE KIDNEY IN CHINESE DIAGNOSES.
There is no individual pressure point to relieve shoulder pain. Acupuncture is a holistic medicine that looks at the whole body, and any individual pain in relation to the whole picture. The pressure points unique to your back pain would be different than those for someone else - it would take an appointment with a provider to diagnose you specifically and give you a plan.
There are several points that can be used to treat back pain. To learn which are best for you, I recommend you visit your acupuncturist.
Local points can relieve back pain, for example, if you have lower back pain, you can pressure points BL 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, and 28. You may not be able to pressure them by yourself, so you can ask somebody to pressure for you.
