5 Tips For Getting Rid Of Piriformis Pain And Back Pain

5 Tips To Eliminate Piriformis Pain and Back Pain Quickly Without Harmful Medications or Dangerous Surgery

So many people the world over suffer from piriformis pain and back pain unnecessarily when there is actually a very simple step-by-step solution to healing these conditions, according to Jesse Cannone, certified personal trainer, back pain specialist and co-founder of The Healthy Back Institute. “Unfortunately, many people are led to believe that back pain is normal and we’re all supposed to experience it... well, thankfully, that’s not the case. Eliminating back pain is not nearly as difficult as most people think or are led to believe... it can actually be easy!” says Cannone.

Now here’s the simple 5-step system that MUST be followed if you are looking for real, long-term, lasting piriformis pain and back pain relief:

Step 1: Identify The Cause

Nearly all of the treatments for back pain and treatments for sciatica people receive only focus on the symptoms and the healthcare professionals most people go to focus very narrowly only on the area where the pain is. The real key in eliminating back pain and piriformis pain is to find out exactly what’s causing the problem... (And by the way, the causes of these conditions usually ISN’T in your back!)

Step 2: Address Both The Cause And The Symptom

The best way to go is a combination of using treatments that first quickly relieve the symptom of pain – such as in the video I share in the article One Of The Best Piriformis Stretches Ever For Relieving Piriformis Pain – and simultaneously doing treatments that correct the underlying cause.

Step 3. Be Aware

It is critical for a piriformis pain sufferer to get in tune with their body. In fact this is true with ANY pain condition. Many people are not sensitive to their bodies, for various reasons. The problem is that if you’re not in tune with your body, then you aren’t able to notice what treatment is working well, and what is not really working at all to relieve your piriformis pain. You can't gauge the speed of your progress. In order to achieve long-term pain relief you have to understand how your body works, what’s causing the problem, what changes have to be made to correct it AND learn to sense how your body is doing in healing itself over time. That way you can make any needed changes to your treatment activities as you go along to improve your results.

Step 4: Consistent, Focused Action

Succeeding at anything calls for consistency and being focused with your actions. Most people with piriformis pain or back pain just won't make the time to work on their problem every day... They’d rather take dangerous painkillers constantly to suppress the pain – which just allows them to cause more damage to their bodies that worsens the pain and makes the condition harder to fix. Are YOU willing to do things differently to finally free yourself of the pain?

Step 5: Don't Do What Doesn't Work

“Duh”, right? Well the fact is violating this point often seems to be part of being human. We already know that most traditional treatments for sciatica and for back pain don't work.... So why waste your time, energy, and money? Don’t get sucked (back) in to struggling once again with these treatments that regularly fail. The real key to eliminating your pain is to identify the true cause of the pain and then address it with a combination of treatments to correct both cause and symptoms. 

Look, over 80% of all forms of back pain are caused by muscle imbalances... NOT a lack of painkillers, injections or surgery! Find out what's going on in your body and take action...

Jesse, a world-recognized expert, has a new book out now aptly titled, “The 7-Day Back Pain Cure”. In it he expands on these 5 tips and reveals even more, guiding you to find the source of your pain; understand why other approaches to get rid of it have failed; and then create a “made-to-order” treatment plan tailored to your exact condition. Best of all, the book itself is FREE if you click here to get your copy.

Can Chiropractic Care Alone Stop Piriformis Pain and Sciatic Pain?

Can Chiropractic Care Alone Stop Piriformis Pain and Sciatic Pain?

Imagine you said “no thanks” to taking the unavoidable risks of going under the knife. Instead, you opted for consulting a chiropractor to deal with your back pain or piriformis pain, thinking that at least these guys won’t want to do surgery on me to fix my sciatica. Is chiropractic care really going to turn out to be the solution you're looking for? You're about to find out...

Chiropractors work on the spine and the soft tissue around it. They believe that if you’re in pain that it stems from a misalignment of some sort in the spinal area. This misalignment in their view blocks or affects signals from the brain conducted by the major nerves coming out of the spine; for example by vertebrae pinching a nerve. This interference causes pain and other problems since the nervous system controls the functioning of the body. Therefore their answer is to expertly manipulate the spine to correct its alignment and thus allow nerve signals to flow freely and normally which should eliminate the pain.

If you’re suffering from nerve-based pain, as is obviously the case with sciatica, this approach may indeed work. But not always - the devil is in the details. If the painful nerve irritation (due to it being squeezed, pinched or inflamed) is occurring somewhere other than at the spine, then aligning the spine may not help since the pain source is not in that region. Specifically, this is the problem with using chiropractic treatments on piriformis pain - piriformis pain occurs due to piriformis syndrome where the piriformis, a muscle in the pelvis, becomes misaligned (for various possible reasons) and puts pressure on the sciatic nerve as it passes by it. You see, spinal issues such as a herniated disc are not the only causes of sciatica and back pain, therefore treatments targeting the spine only miss the mark in many cases.

We have to ask the right questions to find the right answers. And the question to always ask when faced with chronic back pain, piriformis pain, and other manifestations of sciatica is “What is the CAUSE of my pain?” “If the chiropractic adjustments aren’t working, is the problem really my spine?” “Could it actually be my piriformis muscle, or somewhere else?” Chiropractic treatment is good for nerve-based back pain IF the problem's rooted in the spine. An even better question is, “WHY is my spine becoming misaligned?” And the answer to that one is: muscle imbalances. You’ll find a detailed explanation of what they are in Muscle Imbalance - The Secret Source Of Piriformis Pain and Sciatica Back Pain. 

Muscle imbalances are what make your muscles pull your spine out of alignment by exerting unequal pressure along the length of the spine. Because of this realigning the spine only works for 12-48 hours or so – until the imbalanced muscles shift the spine again in the same way as before, restarting the pain. The spine is the victim, not the perpetrator so to speak. Chiropractic care does not address this problem directly. So it works only eventually: given 2 to 4 months of treatment, about 3 times a week, assuming your insurance doesn’t run out before then...

If this seems to be an incomplete solution to you, you’re not alone; it does to me too. Quality chiropractic care clearly is on the right track though when it's applicable – What is missing is a systematic way to find and correct the muscle imbalance that's creating the spinal problem that is creating the nerve pain. This is where Muscle-Balance Therapy comes in. Combined with chiropractic work it is a very effective approach to treating sciatica and back pain caused by vertebrae interfering with nerves. Chiropractic treatments get your spine into alignment, and Muscle-Balance Therapy keeps it there, reducing the number of treatments needed and the likelihood of the pain coming back. Without correcting the muscle imbalances at the same time, chiropractic care ends up being an expensive 24–48 hours of relief a pop. And that’s only if the pain is based in the spine. One of the most common cases of sciatica is piriformis pain, and as the name suggests, the condition behind it - piriformis muscle syndrome - will respond to Muscle-Balance Therapy, rather than to spinal adjustments alone.

Unfortunately, there are few chiropractors out there who are even aware of how muscle imbalances work in depth, let alone are trained in fixing them, so you’re unlikely to find such an advanced practitioner in your area. You will need to do additional treatments dealing with your muscle imbalances to achieve permanent pain relief.
