Small Hip Muscle May Be Cause of Back, Buttock, and Leg Pain.
The piriformis is a small, deep muscle in the hip that helps stabilize the sacroiliac joint and rotate the hip outward. When it becomes tight or does not function properly, it can affect pelvic mechanics and contribute to sacroiliac joint pain, as well as pain in the lower back or buttock. Conservative treatment options, including chiropractic care focused on soft tissue mobilization and spinal alignment, may help reduce symptoms and improve function.
