Are you suffering from the pain at your hips and legs after long time of sitting?
Let’s check is it piriformis syndrome.
Do you have one of these sign? 🤔
• A dull ache in the buttock
• Pain down the back of the thigh, calf and foot (sciatica)
• Intense pain with sitting or squatting
• Pain when walking up stairs or inclines
• Increased pain after prolonged sitting
• Reduced range of motion of the hip joint
What is piriformis syndrome?
Piriformis syndrome is a condition in which the piriformis muscle, located in the buttock region, spasms and causes buttock pain. The piriformis muscle also can irritate the nearby sciatic nerve and cause pain, numbness and tingling along the back of the leg and into the foot (similar to sciatic pain).
From the study shown that:
Acupuncture treatment with electrical stimulation achieved moderate to significant pain relief in a majority of the patients (9/14 [63%]). Six patients (43%) had significant pain relief and resumed their normal daily activities prior to surgery, 3 (21%) had moderate relief with limited activities, 3 (21%) had mild to moderate relief, and 2 (14%) had no change in their pain level.
