The Trident Approach to Piriformis Syndrome Treatment
Our approach to managing piriformis syndrome is rooted in research and addressing the underlying causes of muscle tension, nerve irritation, and movement dysfunction. Here’s what sets Trident apart:
1. Comprehensive Diagnosis
We start with a detailed evaluation to identify the exact cause of your symptoms, including muscle imbalances, biomechanical issues, or sciatic nerve irritation.
2. Customized Treatment Plans
Your care plan may include the following evidence-based treatments:
- SoftWave Therapy: Stimulates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and relieves pain by targeting the affected area with non-invasive acoustic waves.
- Dry Needling: Relaxes the piriformis muscle, reduces trigger points, and alleviates pressure on the sciatic nerve.
- Chiropractic Adjustments: Improves spinal and pelvic alignment to reduce strain on the piriformis muscle and surrounding structures, like the sciatic nerve.
- Myofascial Release and Graston Technique: Breaks up adhesions and scar tissue, which puts pressure on the muscle and nerves, while improving blood flow to the area.
- Targeted Rehabilitation Exercises: Focuses on strengthening the glutes, hips, and core to promote proper movement patterns and prevent recurrence.
3. Education and Prevention Strategies
We empower you with tools and knowledge to manage your condition effectively, including posture training, ergonomic advice, and stretching routines to maintain flexibility and prevent flare-ups.

Advice for Those with Piriformis Syndrome
Here are the top 5 pieces of advice for those with Piriformis Syndrome:
- Prioritize Posture: Avoid prolonged sitting or improper posture, which can aggravate the piriformis muscle and irritate the sciatic nerve.
- Stretch Regularly: Gentle stretching of the piriformis, hamstrings, and hip flexors can reduce muscle tension and enhance flexibility.
- Strengthen Supporting Muscles: Strengthening your glutes, core, and pelvic stabilizers can reduce strain on the piriformis muscle.
- Apply Heat: Heat therapy can relax the muscle, while reducing inflammation and pain.
- Seek Professional Care: Persistent pain or limited mobility should be evaluated by a professional to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment.
