I would strongly encourage your family member, and anyone suffering from back pain, to read a book, Mind Over Back Pain: A Radically New Approach to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Back Pain by Dr John Sarno. I suffered - really suffered -from back pain for years before reading this book. My sister had it worse than I did, and was very close to having surgery before seeing Dr Sarno (he wrote the book in 1986 and he died 2 years ago so you can’t see him).

Read the book. It’s cheap. No drugs, no surgery, no PT. no acupuncture. All those options will still be available to you if the book doesn’t help. Worst case, you get a different perspective.
