Piriformis Syndrome<\/a> can also signify other deeper problems with your physiology. As mentioned, the hip flexors are vital components of the pelvic structure, and if they are experiencing dysfunction, it results in the onset of PS. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe patient could also have issues with a herniated disc in the lower back, resulting in changes to the stresses in the lower back and the hip flexors as the body adjusts to manage the pain involved with the condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spinal stenosis is a disease affecting the health of the spine. It slowly degenerates the discs and vertebrae over time, disrupting the balance and structural integrity of the mid and lower back. Typically, this condition occurs in seniors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sciatica and hip bursitis are other conditions affecting the hips and the pelvis. Hip bursitis is tremendously painful and may cause the patient to adjust their walking position to relieve the pain. As a result, they stress the piriformis, resulting in the onset of PS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
