What is Piriformis Syndrome?
Piriformis syndrome is a disorder that occurs when the piriformis muscle, located in the buttocks, becomes so tight and inflamed that it puts pressure on the sciatic nerve. This pressure disrupts the normal flow of energy along the nerve and can cause pain, tingling, and numbness in your buttock, thigh, and leg. Piriformis syndrome can sometimes be triggered by an injury or physical activity like running or long periods of sitting.
The good news is piriformis syndrome can usually be managed with non-invasive treatments provided by a chiropractor.
Your Treatment Options
Chiropractic care for piriformis syndrome consists of manual manipulation of the piriformis muscle and surrounding areas, including realignment of the spine and hips. This helps to relieve the sciatic nerve pressure, decrease inflammation, reduce tightness in that area and improve overall functioning.
Our experienced chiropractors may utilize targeted exercises to help stabilize and strengthen muscles around the piriformis to provide a lasting effect. As the body's range of motion and flexibility continues to improve with each treatment, many of our patients find significant pain relief within just a few sessions.
