Piriformis Syndrome Video

When the sciatic nerve is irritated by a contraction of the piriformis muscle, it is called piriformis syndrome. The symptoms caused by piriformis syndrome are similar to many spinal conditions that also affect the sciatic nerve and cause radiating leg pain (sciatica). Most treatments deal with reducing the tightness in this muscle to remove pressure on the sciatic nerve.
