Piriformis syndrome is super rare yet most people have heard of this muscle being a primary cause of sciatica or leg numbness/tingling. While it is true that the sciatic nerve passes underneath this muscle (therefore making it prone to compression) and in 15% of cases the nerve pierces through the muscle... most sciatica is caused by a herniated disc in the lower back Some other things that cause buttock and leg pain include hip problems, back issues, and the SI Joint.

With any muscular problem the laws state that if a muscle is injured it will hurt when it contracts and when it is stretched. In this video I go over two tests I use in the clinic to help you determine if you have piriformis syndrome.

If you think you have piriformis syndrome but also feel lower back pain then chances are the back and leg pain is coming from an issue in your back NOT the piriformis.

It is estimated that the true piriformis syndrome accounts for only 6% of people who have sciatica. With it being so rare chances are much more likely that a problem in the back is causing your buttock and leg pain.
