Is It Sciatica or Piriformis Syndrome? How to Tell the Difference 🧐

Описание: Is it sciatica or is it not? Let’s explore 🧐

A common misdiagnosis for sciatica is actually a tight piriformis. The sciatic nerve wraps around the #piriformis and can squeeze it, resulting in pain that manifests a lot like sciatica 🤯 True sciatic pain travels all the way from the low back to the foot.

How do you know what your issue is? First, a tight piriformis results in pain deep in the glute and does not radiate down the leg like sciatica does. You can try relieving the tightness by smashing the piriformis with a lacrosse ball—lay on the tight spot for a minute or two, then try bending and extending the leg to get a little more release.

Sciatica vs. Piriformis Syndrome:
