Have you ever felt a sharp pain or burning discomfort in your lower back that extends down your legs, making it almost impossible to perform everyday activities like walking or sitting? This type of pain, often confused with sciatica, can be caused by the piriformis muscle, a small muscle with a significant impact on your mobility and well-being.
The piriformis muscle, or piriformis, is a small muscle located in the gluteal region, near the top of the thigh bone (femur). This muscle is crucial for hip rotation and plays a critical role in our ability to sit, stand, and get out of the car.
One of the most common complications related to this muscle is piriformis syndrome, which occurs when the muscle compresses or irritates the sciatic nerve, which runs just under, over, or in some cases, through it. This condition is known as pseudosciatica, as it mimics the symptoms of true sciatica but has a different cause.
Chiropractors and other specialists can perform specific tests to determine if the pain is caused by piriformis syndrome or disc problems. An indication that the pain is caused by the piriformis muscle is that the discomfort stops at the knee.
Chiropractic adjustments can be extremely helpful in relieving pressure on the piriformis muscle and sciatic nerve.
Chiropractors specialize in correcting vertebral subluxations. Through quick and targeted chiropractic adjustments, chiropractors can restore normal movement to the vertebrae and relieve pressure on the nerves, which can reduce pain and improve nerve function. It can also improve flexibility and reduce stress on compressed nerves.
Chiropractic adjustments also help realign the spine and pelvis, improving posture and reducing muscle tension.
Although small, the piriformis muscle plays an important role in hip functionality and can be the root of significant pain when it is not functioning properly. Understanding its function and how to keep it healthy can be key to avoiding chronic pain and improving your quality of life.
We encourage you to take care of yourself from now on, without waiting until you feel sick or have various symptoms.
