Fluoroscopic Guided Piriformis Injection

If deep buttock pain, hip tightness, or shooting pain radiating down your leg is limiting your daily movement, Piriformis Syndrome may be the cause. A Fluoroscopic Guided Piriformis Injection is a highly specialized procedure designed to diagnose and treat spasms in the piriformis muscle that compress the underlying sciatic nerve. Guided by real-time fluoroscopy (live X-ray), a precise dose of local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory corticosteroid is injected directly into the deep muscle bed. This targeted therapy relaxes muscle contractions, calms irritated nerve fibers, restores hip flexibility, and helps eliminate radiating leg pain.
