Looking at the orthopedics department for lower back pain, the result of the laboratory test was not that there was a problem with the bones, but rather with the kidneys. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the waist is the home of the kidneys. From a morphological perspective, the organs present in the waist are the kidneys.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there is also lower back pain caused by the inability of the kidneys to nourish the lumbar spine, which is called kidney deficiency lower back pain.

At the same time, patients often have pale complexion, warm and afraid of cold, and lukewarm hands and feet.
