It Might be Piriformis Syndrome. —Not a Disc Problem.

Piriformis Syndrome Treatment in Charlotte, NC

Buttock Pain Shooting Down Your Leg?

If you’ve been told you have “sciatica” but:

Your back doesn’t really hurt

Hip pain while sitting

The pain starts in your butt

…you may be dealing with piriformis syndrome, not a disc injury.

And that’s good news—because it’s usually faster and easier to fix when treated correctly.

What Is Piriformis Syndrome?

It mimics sciatica… but the source is completely different.

Why Most Treatments Fail

Here's The Problem. Most people get treated like they have a low back disc issue.

So They're Told To

That's Why Symptoms Keep Coming Back.

Our Approach

We differentiate the cause first, then treat it precisely.

✅ Step 1: Identify the True Source & determine if your pain is:

✅ Step 2: Release the Pressure on the Nerve

✅ Step 3: Restore Proper Movement

✅ Step 4: Keep It From Coming Back

What Makes Us Different

  • We specialize in muscle + joint + nerve problems (not just “cracking backs”)
  • We focus on root cause, not temporary relief
  • You get a clear diagnosis and plan on day one

Simple At-Home Relief (While You Wait to Be Seen)

  • -Avoid long sitting (stand every 30–45 minutes)
  • -Gentle stretching only—don’t overdo it
  • -Use a lacrosse ball on the sore spot
  • -Keep moving (rest actually slows recovery)

Don’t Let This Turn Chronic

Piriformis syndrome is one of those problems that starts small, gets ignored, then becomes persistent and frustrating. The sooner you treat it correctly, the faster it resolves.
