1. The medical relationship between kidney deficiency and back pain

The theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the "innate foundation" and is responsible for storing essence, controlling water, and controlling bones to produce marrow. When kidneys are deficient, kidney function is weakened, which may cause qi and blood to flow poorly in the waist, causing pain. The following are the main mechanisms by which kidney deficiency causes back pain:
| mechanism | Specific performance |
|---|---|
| Insufficient Qi and blood | Kidney deficiency leads to sluggish circulation of Qi and blood, and the muscles and bones of the waist are not fully nourished. |
| bone marrow dystrophy | The kidneys govern bones and produce marrow. When kidneys are deficient, bone strength decreases, which can easily lead to back pain. |
| Abnormal water metabolism | Kidney deficiency leads to fluid retention, which may compress the lumbar nerves |
