A very good overview. My personal conclusion:
Consistent results of systematic reviews show that acupuncture is no better than sham for acute/subacute LBP, either for short term pain relief or functional improvement.
Conflicting results of systematic reviews mean it is unclear whether acupuncture is effective for short term pain relief for chronic LBP; however, consistent results show no functional benefit.
