Lower back pain, known as lumbago, is a frequently encountered symptom in the lumbar region in various diseases such as muscle strain or traumatic injury of the lumbar region, rheumatism, spondylitis or disorder of some the internal organs in the pelvic cavity. Sometime the pain shoots down to the leg which refers to sciatica. It is common that people feels the pain around the hip area also.

From TCM point of view, lower back pain usually can be caused by either invasion of external or internal pathogenic factors. Exposure to wind and cold, long-term living in cold and damp environment, or wading across water, which leads to the accumulation of external wind, cold and damp in the channels and collateral, further impairing the circulation of qi and blood in the lumbar region. Over-exertion, trauma and sprain could also leads to qi and blood stagnation at local channels. Over-indulgence in sexual activity could cause exhaustion of the kidney essence, which result in malnutrition of the local tendons and muscles.
