False Sciatica/Piriformis Entrapment Relief

The piriformis is a large muscle that runs from the sacrum to the head of the femur. The sciatic nerve, in most of the population, runs underneath that muscle. When the piriformis gets tight (sitting for long periods of time or wearing a wallet in one's back pocket are common culprits), it can compress the sciatic nerve and lead to sciatica-type symptoms. The majority of sciatica complaints usually turn out to be piriformis entrapment syndrome, which are much easier to resolve than nerve/disc damage issues.
