Piriformis Syndrome & Sciatica Treatment

Osteopathy muscle energy technique treatment for piriformis syndrome, sciatica, and S.I joint pain.

Piriformis syndrome and sciatica are both conditions that can cause significant discomfort and affect daily life. Osteopathy offers effective treatment options for these issues, focusing on restoring balance and function to the musculoskeletal system.

Piriformis syndrome is characterized by pain and discomfort in the buttocks, often radiating down the leg, due to irritation or compression of the Piriformis muscle. Osteopathic treatment for Piriformis syndrome typically involves a combination of manual techniques to reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and alleviate pressure on the sciatic nerve. Techniques may include soft tissue manipulation, stretching exercises, and joint mobilization aimed at reducing inflammation and promoting healing.

Sciatica, on the other hand, is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, resulting in pain that radiates from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg. Osteopathic care for sciatica focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause of nerve compression, which may involve spinal misalignment, herniated discs, or muscular imbalances. Treatment may include spinal adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and ergonomic advice to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and reduce pain.
