This sounds like the same thing as IMS (intramuscular stimulation). I injured my back about three years and IMS combined with a really good physiotherapist totally helped me. For a long time I had no back pain.
However; my insurance ran out and I was not able to pay for physiotherapy anymore. I moved cities and then tried IMS again with another physiotherapist and it did not help at all. It felt good in the moment and right afterwards but I wasn't doing anything besides IMS and light stretching so the problem was only be delayed and not solved.
I've also tried acupuncture and didn't feel like it helped.
I swear by massage now for my back pain. It has the same effects and for me has given me results (less pain for longer periods of time).
I think IMS is great coupled with other therapies, though. Keep us updated on your progress, most people haven't heard of this.
