Piriformis syndrome is a muscular disorder that can compress the sciatic nerve causing radicular symptoms into the buttock and along the course of the sciatic nerve.
When the piriformis muscle shortens or spasms due to trauma or overuse, it can compress or strangle the sciatic nerve beneath the muscle. Generally, conditions of this type are referred to as nerve entrapment or as entrapment .
Some people are more susceptible then others. Runners and bikers are at a high risk. People who sit for long periods tend to have a greater risk. I always advice my patients to get up and move around every 45 minutes or so.
1 First thing to do to fix it is stop the offending activity. If it is running take some time off. Long periods of sitting make a conscious effort to get up more.
2 After a few days of resting start a hip rotator stretching routine. Do it several times a day for the best response.
3. Hydrate! The more hydrated your muscles are the less likely they are to sapsm.
4 Visit your local chiropractor. Some other issues can be involved.
