What We Treat

Piriformis muscle injections are a valuable treatment option for individuals experiencing pain and discomfort related to piriformis syndrome.

Dr. Parul Goel, a pain management provider with Barrow Brain and Spine in Phoenix, AZ, specializes in administering piriformis muscle injections to provide relief and enhance the quality of life for her patients.

Piriformis muscle injections involve the precise delivery of medication directly into the piriformis muscle, a deep muscle located in the buttock region. Dr. Goel begins by conducting a thorough evaluation, including a comprehensive assessment of the patient's medical history, symptoms, and physical examination to accurately diagnose piriformis syndrome.

With her expertise and advanced techniques, Dr. Goel carefully identifies the piriformis muscle and accurately administers the injection. The medication typically includes a combination of a local anesthetic and a corticosteroid, which work synergistically to provide immediate pain relief and reduce inflammation in the piriformis muscle.

The procedure is performed with utmost care, ensuring patient comfort and safety. Dr. Goel may utilize imaging techniques, such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy, to guide the injection and enhance precision.

Piriformis muscle injections offer several benefits. By directly targeting the affected muscle, these injections help alleviate pain, reduce muscle tension, and enhance mobility. They are particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing symptoms such as buttock pain, sciatica, and radiating leg discomfort caused by piriformis syndrome.

Dr. Goel's patient-centered approach ensures that each piriformis muscle injection is tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual. She takes the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, potential benefits, and any associated risks or limitations, empowering patients to actively participate in their treatment decisions.

With her expertise in administering piriformis muscle injections, Dr. Parul Goel has successfully helped numerous patients find relief from piriformis syndrome-related pain and improve their overall well-being. Her commitment to comprehensive care and compassionate approach make her a trusted provider in Phoenix, AZ, for piriformis muscle injection treatments.
