Piriformis syndrome can be a real pain in the butt. If you’re having aching pain in the glutes and feeling that pain radiate down the thigh or even into the calf, your piriformis muscle could be the issue. The sciatic nerve runs underneath the piriformis muscle, and when that muscle is tense and in spasm can cause irritation to that nerve. This will result in the numbness and tingling sensation you may feel down the leg. Be sure to consult with a licensed healthcare practitioner to find out if you have piriformis syndrome. Other causes of numbness and tingling down my leg may be the result of spinal disc, lumbar nerve root, hip joint, or other structure in the area. If the piriformis muscle is tight and causing pain here are some stretches and activities you can do to help alleviate the pain and associated tingling and numbness down the leg . Try these exercises out and let me know how they work in the comments below.

Cupping or Myofascial decompression has been around since the early 19th century. More recently, those red circles you see on professional athletes have generated lots of attention. RockPods by Rocktape are more versatile than most other cups used for decompressing soft tissue, adding in a dynamic component to deliver superior patient outcomes. We implement the traditional use of cupping with an added element of tissue gliding by way of traction, sheering, or twisting motions to treat pain and soft tissue dysfunction. These RockPods are used in conjunction with movements that provoke pain or discomfort in order to stimulate a nervous system response and facilitate more efficient movement of soft tissue structures. Provoking pain addresses neurogenic inflammation and neuropathic pain which ultimately drives physiological change within the body. Come see why we always bring the next level in health to all our patients, from your trusted chiropractor in Palm Harbor, Dr. Ryan Goodman. 727-722-7700
