Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hello you all... just a question Is it possible that trough Liver disharmony the Lower back can be affected? And what is the underlying mechanism for this? Yes i know that the liver promotes the Qi circulation and when this stagnates it can affect the lower back, but i was thinking...why? how? maybe the internal channel of the Chong Mai ? Best wishes Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 HELLO YOU ALL, I believe that OMT energetic anatomy places the Liver in the Lower Jiao and its Qi goes upward and outward; it is countered by the Lung whose Qi descends and disperses and in the middle are the Sp/St. When Liver Qi stagnates it could cause lower back pain due to Qi stagnation especially if the Kidney is weak, also, an excessive Liver can cause more demand for yin, and would cause the mother Kidney to become deficient and thereby lead to lower back pain. The Liver and GB are strongly connected to the Dai Mai, and that too may become affected locally and lead to pain. Finally, every case should be diagnosed and treated accordingly.
