Sciatica? Discover Effective Treatment Methods at Touch Balance

Sciatica or Piriformis Syndrome? Solve the Pain Puzzle

Hip pain and radiating leg pain are ailments that can significantly reduce your quality of life. Patients often come to us with similar symptoms that may indicate both sciatica and piriformis syndrome.

What is the difference between sciatica and piriformis syndrome?

• Sciatica is a condition caused by compression of the sciatic nerve in the lumbar spine. It manifests as pain radiating from the hip to the foot, often accompanied by tingling and numbness.
• Piriformis syndrome, on the other hand, is a disorder caused by compression of the sciatic nerve by the piriformis muscle in the hip area. Symptoms are similar to sciatica, but the pain is most often concentrated in the hip area and may intensify when sitting or walking.

How to diagnose the cause of pain?

An accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Our physiotherapist will conduct a thorough interview and physical examination to identify the source of the problem. In some cases, additional imaging tests such as magnetic resonance imaging may be necessary.
