Unlocking Relief for Piriformis Syndrome: Dr. Armen Manoucherian's SoftWave Therapy Approach in Glendale, CA

Piriformis syndrome, a condition often misunderstood and misdiagnosed, can lead to debilitating discomfort and immobility for those affected. Characterized by the piriformis muscle irritating the sciatic nerve, this syndrome manifests in deep buttock pain, radiating leg discomfort, and can significantly impact one’s quality of life. Dr. Armen Manoucherian and Health Edge Family Spinal Care are pioneering the use of SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology, offering a beacon of hope for individuals seeking an effective, non-invasive solution to piriformis syndrome.

Piriformis Syndrome: Causes and Symptoms

Piriformis syndrome arises when the piriformis muscle, located in the buttock region near the top of the hip joint, becomes tight or spasms, putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. This pressure can lead to symptoms resembling sciatica, including:

• Deep buttock pain that may extend down the leg
• Numbness and tingling along the distribution of the sciatic nerve
• Difficulty sitting or standing for long periods without discomfort

Common causes include prolonged sitting, direct trauma, overuse from activities, or anatomical variations. Individuals working in seated positions or those engaging in repetitive lower body movements are at higher risk.

The Science Behind SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology for Piriformis Syndrome

SoftWave Tissue Regeneration Technology utilizes shock wave therapy to initiate the body’s natural healing response, making it an ideal treatment for conditions like piriformis syndrome. The therapy works by:

• Reducing Inflammation: SoftWave Therapy can decrease the inflammation of the piriformis muscle and surrounding tissues, thereby alleviating pressure on the sciatic nerve.
• Promoting Healing: By enhancing blood flow to the area and activating stem cells, the therapy encourages tissue regeneration and healing of the irritated or damaged muscle.
• Alleviating Pain: Patients often experience significant pain relief after treatment, thanks to the reduction of muscle tension and nerve irritation.

Incorporating Micro Breaks and Stretches into Daily Routine

Dr. Armen Manoucherian emphasizes the importance of taking frequent micro breaks from prolonged sitting to alleviate pressure on the gluteal region and prevent further irritation of the sciatic nerve. Incorporating simple stretches during these breaks can significantly benefit individuals suffering from or prone to piriformis syndrome.

3 Stretches for Piriformis Syndrome Relief

Seated Stretch:

• While sitting on a chair, cross the leg with the affected side over the knee of the opposite leg.
• Gently lean forward while keeping your back straight, and hold this position for 15-30 seconds.

Supine Stretch:

• Lie on your back with both knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
• Place the ankle of the affected side over the opposite knee.
• Gently pull the unaffected thigh toward your chest until a stretch is felt in the buttock of the affected side.

Standing Stretch:
