Piriformis Syndrome and Deep Gluteal Syndrome are conditions caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve in the buttock area, leading to pain, numbness, or tingling that can radiate down the leg. These syndromes often mimic sciatica and can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.
At the Stem Cell & PRP Institute of L.A. in Los Angeles, we offer innovative stem cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies designed to reduce inflammation, promote tissue healing, and relieve nerve compression associated with these conditions. Under the expert care of Dr. Padra Nourparvar, a board-certified physician with advanced training in regenerative medicine and musculoskeletal disorders, patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, and across Los Angeles receive personalized, compassionate care.
I had both stem cells and PRP done. I have been suffering from lower back pain for over 12 weeks and it wasn’t getting better. After trying cortisone shots, physical therapy and chiropractic, I found rescue at Dr. Nourparvar’s. He gives you a thorough examination and the stem cell or PRP treatment suggested is for the most comprehensive approach, pursuing the best health benefit.
I highly recommend this doctor.
Understanding Piriformis and Deep Gluteal Syndrome
- Piriformis Syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle irritates or compresses the sciatic nerve.
- Deep Gluteal Syndrome refers to compression of the sciatic nerve by other deep muscles or fibrous bands in the gluteal space.
Symptoms include:
- Deep buttock pain
- Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling down the back of the leg
- Difficulty sitting for long periods
- Pain worsened by sitting, climbing stairs, or squatting
These conditions can be caused by muscle spasms, trauma, anatomical variations, or prolonged sitting.
How Stem Cell & PRP Therapy Help Piriformis & Deep Gluteal Syndrome
Traditional treatments like physical therapy and medications focus on symptom management but may not address underlying tissue damage. Regenerative therapies aim to:
- Reduce inflammation around the sciatic nerve and surrounding muscles
- Promote healing of irritated or damaged muscles and soft tissues
- Decrease nerve compression and improve nerve function
- Restore flexibility and strength in the gluteal muscles
Stem cell therapy delivers mesenchymal stem cells to promote repair and modulate inflammation.
PRP therapy provides concentrated growth factors that accelerate healing and reduce pain.
