🦵 Sciatica or Piriformis Syndrome?
They can feel very similar, but the cause may be quite different.
Both conditions can cause pain that travels into the buttock and leg, making sitting, walking, and daily activities uncomfortable.
The key difference is that sciatica often originates from the lower back and spinal structures, while piriformis syndrome is typically related to irritation of a muscle deep in the buttock.
Because symptoms can overlap, a thorough assessment is important to identify the true source of the problem and guide the right approach to care.
At Birkdale Chiropractic, we focus on finding the underlying cause of your symptoms, helping you move more comfortably and get back to the activities you enjoy.
If you're experiencing leg pain, numbness, tingling, or persistent buttock discomfort, we're here to help.
