What Is Piriformis Syndrome?
Piriformis syndrome is a condition that develops due to the piriformis muscle pressing on the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is located just below the piriformis muscle. Due to the position of the sciatic nerve and piriformis muscle, any changes to the latter can affect the former.
Changes brought on by inflammation, scarring, or muscle spasms can lead to the onset of piriformis syndrome. Those changes may be related to overuse or traumatic injuries.
Symptoms caused by piriformis syndrome include discomfort in the buttocks, hip, or upper leg. The pain may intensify following extended periods of activity or sitting. You may also need to see our chiropractor because you are experiencing numbness in those parts of your body. The pain and numbness may also be accompanied by tingling sensations.
Consult our chiropractor if you are experiencing those symptoms so you can receive the necessary treatment.
How Does Our Chiropractor Treat Piriformis Syndrome?
Chiropractic treatment is the ideal solution for piriformis syndrome. Long-term pain relief is attainable if you seek a chiropractic adjustment near you. Scheduling a chiropractic adjustment near you is helpful because it can directly address the underlying cause of your injury. During treatment, our chiropractor can administer chiropractic adjustments and reposition the elements near your sciatic nerve. Those chiropractic adjustments can alleviate the compression responsible for your symptoms.
In addition to easing the pressure on your sciatic nerve, our chiropractor can also provide treatments that help your piriformis muscle recover faster from injury. You do not have to worry about recurring symptoms once your piriformis muscle is in good condition.
