In my journey in life as an acupuncturist in Modesto, CA, USA, I've come across many back pain patients. I've had particularly good success treating muscular back pain - those pesky trigger points. Besides acupuncture, I've recommended having patients use a tennis ball.
Something so simple as a tennis ball? It's used against the wall.
You lean on the tennis ball against the wall, and rubs around until you can feel the tennis ball hit the trigger point - this is where it "hurts good." The type of "pain" should be around a 5/10 type of pain. You should do this about 4-6 times per day if you are serious about trying to use tennis ball "acupressure" to rid one of trigger points. It's a form of self-help myofascial release.
I've been doing this for myself lately while I've been in Taipei, Taiwan.
These are just suggestions I've given my patients. I put this here for you to read about it. It's not meant to be specific directed medical advice.
