In our "Piriformis Syndrome Treatment" video ([ Ссылка ]) that has over 250k views and over 300 comments, one of the biggest problems people face is: "I have butt pain and I'm not sure if it's piriformis syndrome or a disc problem".
In this video, Dr. Chris of Barefoot Rehab in Denville, NJ, discusses HOW TO THINK to see if your problem is more likely at the piriformis or coming from the low back.
DOES YOUR MRI SHOW A HORRIBLE HERNIATED DISC?
- YES -- more likely a herniated disc
- NO -- more likely piriformis syndrome
IF YOU HAVE BUTT PAIN WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING?
- YES -- more likely a herniated disc
- NO -- more likely piriformis syndrome
IF YOU DO A HAMSTRING STRETCH TEST (barefootrehab.com/hamstring-stretch-test/) AND HAVE HORRIBLE PAIN AT YOUR BUTT CHEEK:
- ON BOTH SIDES - more likely a herniated disc
- ON ONE SIDE - more likely piriformis syndrome
- IN HAMSTRING or CALF -- more likely a herniated disc
IF YOU HAVE BUTT PAIN WHEN YOU SIT:
- PAIN IS RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE SITTING, PUTTING PRESSURE - more likely piriformis syndrome
- PAIN IS IN ANOTHER LOCATION THAT ISN'T YOUR BUTT PAIN - more likely a herniated disc
IF YOU HAVE PAIN WALKING:
- LONG STRIDES - more likely piriformis syndrome
- SHORT STRIDES - more likely a herniated disc
Once all of the data and puzzle pieces are put together, we can look at the image on the puzzle to determine what your best option for treatment will be. And guess what, your problem can be a little bit of both problems!
Tally each of these data points into buckets and which bucket, piriformis syndrome or a herniated disc, then pursue adhesion removal treatment for that problem primarily.
