I have no idea, I'm not into having pins stuck all over my body, well, not unless there is gear in them!

Have you taken anyone's advice yet?

How did you hurt your back? How does it hurt? Where? For how long? When does it bother you the most?

You can´t give any advice without knowing at least that much.

Do heavy, heavy deadlifts every day for a week and then this weekend, help a friend or two move. Also, have a friend or coworker tackle you from behind for 30 minutes each morning at around 10am.

acupuntur can help some muscle tears if the are minor ones only though. The best thing the acupunctorist can do is ease the muscle spasming but they cannot really diagnose what is going on. Go see a chiropractor and get a deep tissue masage in the afflicted area.

Flubber, sounds to me like it's time to take a break and let it heal. I strained my lower back last weekend doing heavy rows and it hurt like a bitch for about 4 days - I could barely lift a big of grocieries let alone train... So my advice would be to take a few days off from lifting and see whether it gets better - it mostly likely will.
