EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIAGNOSTICS AND COMPLEX TREATMENT OF PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME

94 patients with piriformis syndrome were examined. The description of clinical tests of piriformis syndrome used in manual therapy and instrumental research methods is carried out. The possibility of using ultrasound as a diagnostic technique for lesions of the piriformis muscle and sciatic nerve is noted. The combination of classical manual therapy and the use of medical blockades with dynamic ultrasound control is a therapeutic choice in patients with primary and secondary piriformis syndrome.
