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.

Depression can take different things from different people.

For Arkim, it meant missing moments that once felt worth celebrating.
For Stacey, it meant losing color and creativity in her everyday life.
For Jose, it meant feeling less present with the people who mattered most.

These are real stories from individuals who explored treatment options, including NeuroStar Advanced Therapy, after not finding relief elsewhere.

Over time, they began to notice meaningful shifts. Feeling more like themselves again. Reconnecting with family. Finding joy in everyday moments.

Stronger Days Start with NeuroStar.
