Manahawkin Chiropractic Center Helps Relieve Hip/Glute Pain (GOIC)

So you have pain in the butt, gluteus, hip area? Everyone terms this pain with different terminology, even doctors and researchers! This pain isn’t all that uncommon for back pain and leg pain sufferers. Gluteal pain that just won’t go away – a “toothache in the butt” – is more renowned today as its own concern often related to irritation of the sciatic nerve. Your Manahawkin chiropractor at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is quite experienced in the irritation of the sciatic nerve and its chiropractic care relief.

ANATOMY

Many structures come together in the region of this gluteal/hip pain! The gemelli muscles lie 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 cadaver and live volunteer study of the sciatic nerve during hip rotation demonstrated that during passive hip rotation, the sciatic nerve is very much linked to the gemelli-obturator internus complex, curving throughout passive internal rotation and relaxing during external hip rotation. (2) In a study using ultrasound to see the motions of gluteal and subgluteal muscles, researchers discovered that passive movements of hip rotation and isometric contraction of muscles affected the sciatic nerve in the subgluteal space. They proposed that these passive movements may well impact the sciatic nerve, triggering retrotrochanteric pain in the gluteus.

ANATOMY AND PAIN: The Sciatic Nerve

Right in the heart of|In the center of all these gluteal muscles lies the sciatic nerve that runs from the spine to the toes. Back in 2009, an early description of sciatic nerve compression explained 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 included the gemelli-obturator internus muscle complex and related bursae. (5) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center finds this to be a small area for everything to fit!

TERMINOLOGY

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

CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT OPTIONS

Before more invasive treatments are done, conservative options are attempted. Medical approaches were listed as rest, avoiding irritating movements, taking meds, getting injections, or performing physiotherapy. Surgery may be done for patients with recurrent or persistent symptoms after conservative care. (6) Chiropractors like your Manahawkin chiropractor offer 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 Manahawkin chiropractic patients with this method.
