What is runner's sciatica?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you recently experienced a sharp pain in the buttock<\/mark><\/strong> during a training session, and since then it's become more and more intense, until you're forced to take a strict rest. The symptoms resemble those of sciatica, but the diagnosis doesn't fit. What if it's the runner's false sciatica?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piriform<\/mark><\/strong> is one of the muscles that ensure pelvic stability. It connects the sacrum and the top of the femur, and therefore plays an essential role in all running sports. During the stride, it performs a reflex contraction to ensure leg rotation. This recurrent contraction can lead to pain-causing disruption, known as runner's sciatica or \"false sciatica\". piriformis syndrome<\/mark><\/strong>. A pinching sensation on the upper buttock that radiates down the side of the thigh, the intensity of which can be accentuated by prolonged sitting, trampling and, of course, trail running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intensive training, for example, preparation for a major race<\/mark><\/strong> can be the cause of piriformis syndrome. In other words, an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment are essential if you are to regain your physical capabilities as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes of runner's sciatica<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To determine the causes of runner's sciatica, it's important to understand how the piriformis works and where it's located. For about 80% of the population, the sciatic nerve passes under the muscle.<\/mark><\/strong>. In other anatomical variations, the sciatic nerve may pass through or surround the piriformis muscle. In all cases, these more or less direct anatomical relationships are the cause of acute pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hypertrophy of the piriformis muscle can be caused by several factors<\/mark><\/strong> : <\/p>\n\n\n\n
