Good educational information

Piriformis Syndrome and Sciatica are the same thing.”

🔍 Reality:
While both conditions cause radiating pain down the leg, they have different origins and require different management strategies.

🧠 Piriformis Syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle compresses or irritates the sciatic nerve as it passes through or beneath it.

On the other hand, sciatica typically arises from lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or nerve root impingement at the spine level.

🧠 Key Differentiators Between Piriformis Syndrome and Lumbar Radiculopathy (Sciatica):
✔ Origin:
Piriformis Syndrome has a myofascial origin, where the piriformis muscle compresses the sciatic nerve in the gluteal region.
In contrast, Sciatica is of neurological or discogenic origin, often due to disc bulge or nerve root impingement in the lumbar spine.

✔ Pain Triggers:
Piriformis Syndrome pain is aggravated by sitting for long periods, hip rotation, or pressure over the buttocks.
Sciatica pain increases during forward bending, coughing, or sneezing — actions that increase spinal pressure.

✔ Neurological Signs:
Piriformis Syndrome generally does not show true neurological signs like numbness or reduced reflexes.
Sciatica often presents with clear neuro signs such as tingling, numbness, or reflex deficits, following a dermatomal pattern.

✔ Straight Leg Raise (SLR) Test:
In Piriformis Syndrome, the SLR test is usually negative or only mildly positive.
In Sciatica, it is often strongly positive, indicating lumbar nerve root tension.

✔ Tenderness on Palpation:
Piriformis Syndrome shows tenderness localized in the piriformis/gluteal area.
Sciatica often presents with tenderness along the paraspinal region or dermatomal distribution of the affected nerve.

📚 What the Evidence Says:
📖 Hopayian et al., (2010): Diagnosis of piriformis syndrome remains clinical, with features including deep buttock pain, absence of lumbar findings, and positive FAIR test (Flexion-Adduction-Internal Rotation).

📖 Boyajian-O'Neill et al., (2008): “Proper differentiation is critical — as treatment for sciatica (e.g., spinal traction) may be ineffective or aggravating in piriformis syndrome.”

💡 Clinical Insight:
✅ Stretching, myofascial release, dry needling, and neural mobilization are effective for piriformis syndrome.
✅ A thorough assessment is needed to avoid over-treating the spine when the issue is local.

📌 "All leg pain isn’t sciatica — sometimes it’s just a tight piriformis being dramatic."
