What Causes Piriformis Syndrome?
Piriformis syndrome is characterised by pain in the buttocks and down the leg. The pain is caused by nerve compression by the piriformis muscle, which is located deep in the buttock. This muscle can become tight and inflamed from overuse or injury, and compressing the sciatic nerve that runs from the low-back and all the way down the back of the leg to the foot.

Laser Therapy
Not only does laser therapy relax tense and tight muscles, but it also works on a cellular level to regenerate and rebuild strong, organised, healthy collagen fibers preventing future injuries, increasing range of motion and improving quality of life.
Shockwave Therapy
At Dublin Physical & Chiropractic we also offer shockwave therapy for piriformis syndrome, which is a non-invasive treatment that works by sending high frequency sound waves into the piriformis muscle to help relieve pain and inflammation. The goal of shockwave therapy is to get you back to doing the things you love.
Intrinsic Core Strengthening
Intrinsic core strengthening works by off loading the joints and muscles of our extremities, by distributing stress and load to the core stabilising muscles, that in many cases have become dormant due to pain. Activating the core means balance is restored, and the demands that we put on our bodies to equally distributed and not just all placed on the joints and large muscles.
