In the video below, I demonstrate how to tell the difference between true sciatica (usually due to a bulging/herniated lumbar disc) and piriformis syndrome (also called “pseudo-sciatica” or false sciatica) which is leg pain that feels like sciatic nerve irritation but is actually referral pain from a muscle. At the end of the video, I show you a simple stretching technique for alleviating piriformis syndrome.
I hope you found the video useful.Stay tuned to this blog for more sciatica and piriformis syndrome exercises and information.
