If you suffer from piriformis syndrome and are looking for effective non-surgical treatment in the Fullerton area, turn to the orthopedic specialists at Full Range Spine & Ortho. The piriformis muscle runs from the lower spine to the upper surface of each femur, passing deep in the buttock behind the gluteus maximus. It provides assistance and stability for rotating the hip and turning the leg and foot outward. The sciatic nerve runs directly beneath it. Piriformis syndrome is a condition where this muscle becomes irritated and spasms, producing pain, particularly if it irritates the sciatic nerve. Dr. Roy Nini offers piriformis syndrome treatment at Full Range Spine & Ortho, serving Fullerton and the surrounding areas.
Piriformis syndrome can occur from hip injury to this muscle or when any other condition causes it to become irritated or inflamed. Common symptoms of piriformis syndrome include:
- A dull ache in the buttock
- Pain down the back of the thigh, calf and foot
- Pain when walking up stairs or inclines
- Increased pain after prolonged sitting
- Reduced range of motion of the hip joint
This is often combined with sciatica pain, numbness in the buttocks or legs and tingling along the path of the sciatic nerve. Many conditions can cause similar symptoms. Dr. Nini and his Fullerton team will seek to rule out other causes to determine an accurate diagnosis of piriformis syndrome.
