Traditional medicine regards the kidneys as the source of qi that is supplied to the entire body, but especially to the muscles of the back. As the kidneys and the related muscles of the low back weaken, the muscles go into spasm. This causes the muscles on either side of the spine to pull unequally on the spinal vertebrae. One side pulls harder than the other, causing the spine to drift in that direction. Eventually, disks and nerves become pinched from the bending of the spine to the right or left, causing pain. Back pain is often caused by imbalances in the liver and spleen, organs that provide qi to the muscles of the middle back. Upper back pain can be caused by excess kidney energy that is transferred upward to the neck, excessive or deficient heart energy, or tension in the shoulder muscles caused by stress and liver-gallbladder imbalances.

Traditionally, Chinese medicine has proved to be very effective for back pain. What makes Chinese herb therapy special is the advances made in combining herbs available to make a cocktail or tonic specific not to the condition of back pain but specific to the individual or patient. It is in this way that Chinese herb therapy can treat the cause of back pain and not just the symptoms.
