Abstract/Notes

Clinical investigations and analysis of patient records, revealed that patients with a presenting complaint of sciatica, affecting the apparent long leg side, did not respond as well to chiropractic therapy as those with the sciatica affecting the short leg. Discussions with other chiropractic clinicians1, and analysis of their patient records revealed similar findings. Careful examination of patients who did not respond to therapeutic trial revealed the presence of a piriformis muscle syndrome on the side of the long leg.

In this paper is an attempt to review the literature as it relates to the piriformis muscle syndrome, and present an effective chiropractic technique for its correction.
