Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc Helps Relieve Hip/Glute Pain (GOIC)

Do you have pain in the butt, gluteus, hip area? Everyone describes this pain with a variety of terminology, even doctors and researchers! This pain is not all that unusual for back pain and leg pain sufferers. Gluteal pain that just won’t go away – a “toothache in the butt” – is more renowned nowadays as its own issue often related to irritation of the sciatic nerve. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is very knowledgeable of sciatic nerve irritation and its chiropractic care relief.

ANATOMY

There are multiple intersecting structures in the area of this gluteal/hip pain! The gemelli muscles are positioned in the posterior hip area. Along with the obturator internus, piriformis, and quadratus femoris muscles, the gemelli muscles were seen to allow external rotation of the thigh. (1) A study of the sciatic nerve in both live volunteers and cadavers during hip rotation demonstrated that during passive hip rotation, the sciatic nerve is closely related to the gemelli-obturator internus complex, curving during passive internal rotation and relaxing during external hip rotation. (2) In an ultrasound study of the motions of gluteal and subgluteal muscles, researchers recorded that passive movements of hip rotation and isometric contraction of muscles impacted the sciatic nerve in the subgluteal space. They suggested that these passive movements may well affect the sciatic nerve, producing retrotrochanteric pain in the gluteus.

ANATOMY AND PAIN: The Sciatic Nerve

Right in the heart of|In the middle of all these gluteal muscles lies the sciatic nerve that extends from the spine to the toes. Back in 2009, an early report of sciatic nerve compression presented how endometriosis, abscess, tumor, adjoining uterus, piriformis syndrome and newly discussed sciatic neuropathy as a result of compression of the sciatic nerve by obturator internus tendon and muscle may well be causes for sciatic pain. (4) Even earlier, in 2005, a chiropractic radiologist/clinician and a chiropractic anatomist connected the clinical presentation of deep gluteal, sciatica-like pain in back pain patients with persistent aching pain in the retrotrochanteric area of the hip and upper posterolateral thigh. The anatomist illustrated how the structures in this area contained the gemelli-obturator internus muscle complex and related bursae.

TERMINOLOGY

A review of just what is published about deep gluteal syndrome – pain in the gluteus – reported that deep gluteal syndrome has been more recounted in the medical literature recently but called all sorts of different names: piriformis syndrome, gemelli-obturator internus syndrome, ischiofemoral impingement syndrome, proximal hamstring syndrome. Reviewers characterized this deep gluteal syndrome as posterior hip pain as a result of nerve entrapment beyond the piriformis syndrome which can be due to nerve entrapment. If not pathological, the nerve entrapment of deep gluteal syndrome may well beb conservatively treated. (6) Medical conservative and Fort Wayne chiropractic conservative each offer different options. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc can help.

CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT OPTIONS

Before more invasive treatments are done, conservative options are tried. Medical approaches were enumberated as rest, staying away from irritating movements, taking meds, receiving injections, or doing physiotherapy. Surgery may be done for patients with recurrent or persistent symptoms after conservative care. (6) Chiropractors like your Fort Wayne chiropractor deliver conservative care effectively for most. The clinician-author described conservative treatment as goading of the bursa/sciatic nerve/muscle area – discussed as the GOIC (gemelli obturator internus complex) area – along with Cox® Technic flexion distraction decompression of the lumbar spine L5S1 area to relieve irritation of the sciatic nerve. (5) Relief is often forthcoming for Fort Wayne chiropractic patients with this approach.
