Dr. Lin Yunfei
Kidney yang deficiency can lead to cervical spondylosis. Whether it is kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, clinical syndrome differentiation is required. It's possible that cervical spondylosis is neither due to kidney yin deficiency nor kidney yang deficiency, and may not even be a deficiency syndrome, but rather another type of syndrome. Therefore, for the sake of caution and responsibility, it is recommended to spend time visiting a qualified hospital for traditional Chinese medicine and undergo necessary clinical examinations—such as observation, auscultation, and palpation—to establish an accurate diagnosis.
