Top 3 Self Treatments To Do To Start Fixing Piriformis Syndrome

In this video, Dr. David walks you through his treatment approach for calming down a painful piriformis so that you can then focus on fixing the deeper problem to get true long-term relief.

Piriformis syndrome causes pain in the back of the hip, deep in the glute area. It is often mis-diagnosed and treated incorrectly. This leads to it never really going away in people…it just wanes down in intensity and then flares up again when active again.

It is important to avoid over-exercising and over-stretching the piriformis. It’s also easy to aggravate the sciatic nerve since it is right by the piriformis. This condition is delicate because there is always another deeper, bigger problem that needs to be fixed.
