Piriformis Syndrome Treatment in Mint Hill

If you’re experiencing nagging pain in your lower back, hips, or legs, you might be dealing with a condition called piriformis syndrome. At De-Lux Chiropractic in Mint Hill, NC, we specialize in providing non-invasive, drug-free solutions to alleviate pain and restore mobility. In this blog, we’ll dive into what piriformis syndrome is, its symptoms, and how chiropractic care can help.

What is Piriformis Syndrome?

Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle, located in your buttocks, becomes tight or inflamed and compresses the sciatic nerve. This condition can cause pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates down the leg, mimicking sciatica. Common causes include prolonged sitting, overuse injuries, or trauma to the area.

Symptoms of Piriformis Syndrome

• Pain in the buttocks or lower back
• Radiating pain down the back of the leg
• Tingling or numbness in the legs or feet
• Difficulty sitting for extended periods

Chiropractic Care for Piriformis Syndrome

At De-Lux Chiropractic, we use advanced techniques to address piriformis syndrome, including:

• Spinal Adjustments: Misalignments in the spine can contribute to muscular imbalances. Realigning the spine can relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.
• Soft Tissue Therapy: Targeted massage techniques help release tension in the piriformis muscle.
• Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: We provide personalized exercise plans to improve flexibility and prevent future episodes.
• Dry needling: a therapeutic technique where the chiropractor inserts thin, solid needles into specific points in a muscle, called trigger points, to alleviate pain and improve muscle function by stimulating a healing response.
• Class IV Laser Therapy: a non-invasive treatment that uses a high-intensity laser to treat pain and inflammation, which facilitates regenerative healing.
