Symptoms and sleeping posture of piriformis syndrome

summary

I went to the hospital for examination when I felt pain in my sitting buttocks, and this kind of situation may generally lead to the patient's physical problems. The examination found that I had piriformis syndrome. But now that I have recovered, let me talk to you about the symptoms and sleeping posture of piriformis syndrome!

Symptoms and sleeping posture of piriformis syndrome

First, the influence of piriformis on sciatic nerve depends on the pathway of sciatic nerve. In about 20 percent of people, their sciatic nerve passes through the piriformis. If this kind of person's piriformis is excessively stretched, the sciatic nerve will be squeezed, causing sciatica.

Second, the treatment of piriformis syndrome is to reduce femoral internal rotation. If you have wide flat feet, you will have sciatic nerve problems after walking for a long time. You can customize and correct the insoles to reduce the excessive width and flat feet and the stretch of piriformis.

Third, proper sitting posture is indispensable. Kneeling should be avoided as far as possible. In addition, physical therapy can be used to relax piriformis muscle through low-frequency current and piriformis muscle stretching.

matters needing attention

Piriformis is the control of femoral external rotation, so when the femur for some reasons and internal rotation, piriformis will be pulled, forming piriformis syndrome, causing sciatic nerve problems. Wide and flat feet are a major culprit. If the foot is too wide and flat when walking, it will drive the tibia (leg bone) to rotate. Because the tibia is connected to the femur (thighbone), tibial internal rotation can lead to femoral internal rotation, which leads to piriformis syndrome.
