Piriformis syndrome

Similar to sciatica, piriformis syndrome can irritate the sciatic nerve causing pain, tingling, and numbness within the leg and foot. The biggest factor to treating piriformis syndrome is stretching. The irritation of the muscle causes a tightening that results in spasms. By loosening the hamstring muscles, hip muscles, and piriformis muscle, your range of motion will be restored allowing the muscles to heal.
