Piriformis Sydrome can often times be confused with sciatica pain and lumar spine disc herniations as the pain you feel are almost exactly the same. In fact many people that I have treated over the past 20 years that have been told by other Therpaists and even Doctors that they have sciatica - actually suffered from piriformis sydrome and not sciatica.

Usually they have been treating at other facilities for many months and have not gotten any relief of their pain.

Pififormis sydrome symptoms usually are as follows:

• Buttock pain that radiates out to the side.
• Pain increases when sitting.
• Pain decreases with activity.
• Pain decreases with stretching.

I will contiue with this hub in another day.
