Piriformis Injection

A piriformis injection is a targeted treatment for piriformis syndrome—pain caused by irritation or spasm of the piriformis muscle, often compressing the sciatic nerve. The injection typically includes a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Guided by ultrasound or fluoroscopy, the procedure ensures precise placement into the piriformis muscle. It is performed on an outpatient basis and may offer both diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.
