Best Physiotherapy Treatment for Piriformis Syndrome

Piriformis Syndrome a very common disorder we can say which is seen in general population due to long sitting hours. In these long sitting hours the constant pressure on the buttocks causes impinging of the piriformis muscle in between the glutes. This syndrome can also be caused by any other impact, injury or trauma that causes the tightness or stiffness of the piriformis muscle, thus leading to the pain. The symptoms in this condition only travels from the buttock to posterior thigh. Well although both of the condition involves the same muscle group and pathway it is imperative to understand the difference between them. Many of the patients out their may confuse one for the other so thus it is very important to understand both of them equally. Sciatica is a condition where the bulging disc, herniated disc or any other such issues at the level of the spinal cord affects the nerve root of the sciatic nerve, while in piriformis syndrome the nerve itself is not involved but the radiating pain is due to the problem of the piriformis muscle. Another point to note is that the neurological symptoms in sciatica extends from the lower back to the foot entirely along the nerve root while the symptoms in the piriformis syndrome only extends from the buttocks to the level of thigh. The most effective line of treatment in piriformis syndrome is to treat the piriformis muscle itself. Be it stretching the muscle or releasing the muscles manually the line of treatment depends on the comfort of the patient as well as the reason behind the problem.
