Dr. He Haochen
Kidney deficiency can generally cause coccyx pain. It may also lead to conditions such as inflammation of the coccyx or coccygeal protrusion; therefore, it is advisable to visit a spinal surgery department for examination and active treatment. At the same time, it's important to properly nourish qi and blood, adjust lifestyle habits, eat more vegetables and fruits, ensure adequate sleep, and actively exercise. Acupuncture and meridian massage can also be used as therapeutic methods to tonify liver and kidney yang and replenish qi and blood.
