Q. What is "piriformis syndrome" & how can the SACRO WEDGY® help?

A. The piriformis muscle is a triangular shaped muscle that attaches to the hip joint & travels into the front of the sacrum. Runners very often experience problems with this muscle because the pounding creates tightness. That's why it is sometimes referred to as a "pain in the butt". To further complicate things, the sciatic nerve travels through or under this muscle & can literally squeeze the nerve causing pain down the legs, knees, (I-T band), heels, anywhere the sciatic nerve travels. The way the sacrum is positioned, while relaxing on the Wedgy, the piriformis muscle has a chance to release & relax. The length of time for a correction varies from person to person. How easily relaxation takes place (it very well could hurt at first), how long the muscle has been in a bind, etc. It's your choice as to how much time you give.

Q. Can the SACRO WEDGY® be painful?

A. Yes. For some people it can really be quite painful at first. If you are in pain or having long term problems, the SACRO WEDGY® is not going to be fun. Start slow for a few minutes at a time & try to keep it in the freezer - cold helps a lot. Don't try to make it a quick fix - there is no such thing - look for the long term solution. The only other situation that we've run into over the years is if there is a cyst on the coccyx. The pressure or firmness of the Wedgy may irritate the cyst. One way to help would be to put the lift pad on top of the Wedgy to create a cushion.

Q. Is a neck support necessary & why is there a pad to go under the SACRO WEDGY®?

A. The neck support is necessary because it completes the package of having both ends of the spine stabilized so that you basically relax around the support. One Therapist described it as a natural traction. The pad, or lift, placed under the Wedgy elevates the sacrum more so that the hips are free-er to drop. For instance, if you are tall &/or large framed, we suggest you add an additional lift under the pad to elevate even more. Eventually, you want to be able to pass your hand between the floor & your buttock. If you are in pain or very small framed, start with no lift then gradually add a little elevation.

Q. How soon can I return to normal activities?

A. Give your self at least three days healing time. One of the biggest problems over the years is people going back full force because they aren't in pain. Take it easy at first & allow yourself some time. Should you feel muscles tighten up, take some time to relax on the Wedgy.

Q. Do you have to be on the floor to use the Wedgy?

A. It is best however, it can be used in the bed if a book is placed under the hip to create a firm surface.
