Abstract:

Although controversial in its diagnosis, piriformis syndrome is often overlooked as a cause of sciatica. A 51-year-old female patient with chronic low back pain presented to a teaching clinic in the Pacific Northwest 2 weeks after the onset of pain in her left buttock and left leg. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) provided some relief, but it did not completely resolve her symptoms. This case study examines the implication of OMT in acute cases of piriformis-induced sciatica.
