Spine & Nerve Health with Dr. Aaron Filler: Sciatica and Piriformis Syndrome
Many people diagnosed with "sciatica" - pain that runs from their buttocks to their feet - may actually have piriformis syndrome. Dr. Aaron Filler of the Institute for Nerve Medicine in Santa Monica, California (www.nervemed.com), explains the key differences between these two afflictions, their respective treatments, and how piriformis syndrome can be alleviated with open-MR guided injections as opposed to painful, invasive back surgery.
