What Is a Piriformis Syndrome Evaluation?

A piriformis syndrome evaluation focuses on identifying irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve caused by tightness or inflammation of the piriformis muscle in the buttock. This condition can mimic sciatica and often worsens with sitting, walking, or certain movements.

What We Review During Your Evaluation:
  • Buttock, hip, or lower back pain
  • Radiating pain down the leg
