In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the liver and kidneys are closely related to the back and waist. The liver stores blood and nourishes the tendons, while the kidneys store essence and are responsible for the bones. When the liver and kidneys are not in balance, it can lead to back and waist pain. At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the liver is prone to be overheated, and the kidneys may be weakened, which can exacerbate the symptoms of back and waist pain.
