Piriformis Syndrome And Its Care Through Chiropractic
Piriformis Syndrome occurs when the Sciatic nerve is compressed and irritated by contraction of the piriformis muscle. It generally starts with pain, numbness, and tingling in the buttocks. Pain may be severe and it might radiate down the leg to the knee and foot. The pain intensifies with day to day activity, prolonged sitting, or walking.
