The piriformis ———————————————– – ——————————- Syndrome Piriformis syndrome is a condition in which the piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic nerve, causing pain in the buttocks and referring pain along the nerve pathway sciatic nerve. This referred pain, called "sciatica", often goes in the back of the thigh and / or lower back. Patients usually complain pain deep in the buttocks, which is aggravated by sitting, climbing stairs or performing squats. The piriformis aid in the abduction and lateral rotation of the thigh. In other words, while balancing on left foot, move your right leg straight out from the body and rotate the right leg so the toes point toward the ceiling. This is the right piriformis muscle action. Stretching the muscle often duplicates the pain. For the piriformis stretch, lie up, and flex the hip and right knee. Now, while holding the right knee with your left hand, pull the knee toward your left shoulder. This adducts and flexes the hip. In this position, grasp just above the right ankle with your right hand and rotate the ankle outwards. This applies internal rotation of the hip and completes the stretch. Another way to do this stretch is to rely on the left foot and place right foot on a chair so that the right knee and hip is flexed at around 90 degrees. Now, using the right hand, press the right knee through the left side of the body, keeping the ball in his right foot in place of the chair. Another good piriformis / Gluteal stretch is which was shown in the section on stretching. Anatomically, the piriformis muscle is located beneath the gluteal muscles. It originates from the spine of the sacrum and inserts into the greater trochanter of the femur which is the big, bony "bump" in the upper outer thigh. The sciatic nerve usually passes underneath the piriformis muscle, but in about 15% of the population that travels through the muscle. It is believed that acute causes injury or chronic inflammation of the muscle and irritates the sciatic nerve, resulting in sciatica. Patients with an aberrant course through the muscle nerve are particularly predisposed to this disease. Piriformis syndrome is diagnosed mainly based on symptoms and physical examination. There is no evidence confirming the accurate diagnosis, but X-rays, MRI and nerve conduction tests may be necessary to exclude other diseases. Some of the other causes of sciatica include the disease in the lumbar spine (eg disc herniation), chronic hamstring tendinitis, and fibrous adhesions of the muscles around the sciatic nerve. Once the correct diagnosis, the treatment is carried out gradually. Initially, progressive piriformis stretching is employed, starting with 5 seconds of stretching sustained and gradually work up to 60 seconds. It is repeated several times during the day. It is important that abnormal biomechanical problems, such as foot pronation or other coexisting conditions are treated. This stretch can be combined with other physical therapy modalities such as ultrasound. If this fails, then the injections corticosteroid in a piriformis muscle may be attempted. Finally, surgical exploration can be done as a last resort. A sports medicine specialist with good experience in the care of athletes with the piriformis syndrome can help direct appropriate management. With a proper diagnosis and treatment, there is no reason for this syndrome than feared. Good luck and good training.
