… 3 Top Causes & 5 Solutions to Relieve Painful Buttocks
Buttocks pain is incredibly common,
despite being far less talked about than back pain and other types of pain.
When you have pain in your buttocks region, it can make simple
activities like walking and even sitting nearly unbearable.
Buttocks pain is often associated with
other types of pain, like hip pain, lower back pain, and groin pain, and it can
even lead you to have stiffness or limited movement in your back and hips.
Needless to say, it’s a difficult condition to live with … and one you don’t
have to because safe and long-lasting solutions abound.
But first … many of the top causes of
buttocks pain are caused not by injury or disease, but rather by the day-to-day
stresses you put on your body through normal living.
Pain that radiates from your lower
back, through your buttocks and down the back of your leg may be due to
sciatica, which is pain the runs down your sciatic nerve.
Sciatica typically results from an
underlying condition such as a herniated disc in your back (see below …)
One out of three people have a
herniated disc, which occurs when your discs – the “shock absorbers” of your
spine – become damaged, bulge or break open.
This can lead to severe sharp, shooting
pain that travels down the back of your leg, numbness and tingling in your
legs, burning pack pain, buttocks pain and even leg weakness.
Injuries or a sudden awkward movement
(like lifting a heavy object) can cause a herniated disc. But more often they
are caused by repetitive strains that occur slowly over a lifetime.
Sitting or standing with poor posture,
inactivity, hunching over your computer for long hours, all of these can lead
to varying degrees of muscle imbalances, where one muscle is used more often
(and therefore grows stronger) than an opposing muscle (which becomes
weakened).
This, in turn, leads to postural
dysfunctions, in which your bones remain in an abnormal position, leading to
uneven and excessive compression and torsion that causes discs to bulge or
herniate.
3. Piriformis Syndrome
In the center of your buttocks is a
little-known muscle called the piriformis muscle, which is instrumental to
walking, bicycling, running and many other movements.
When your piriformis becomes
overworked, however, it becomes painfully tight while stretching nearby
muscles. This leads to a deep pain in your buttocks, hip or down your legs.
Surprisingly, perhaps the most common
activity leading to piriformis syndrome isn’t really an “activity” at all:
sitting.
Just holding your body erect in a seat
with your hips flexed (knees bent, feet on the floor) requires your piriformis
muscle to contract to help maintain that position. And sitting on a wallet can
quickly make matters even worse.
Unless you take care to properly
stretch and strengthen other muscles by lateral (sideways) movements of your
legs, you soon create a muscle imbalance where the piriformis muscle becomes
short and tight, a very common cause of buttocks pain.
5 Top Solutions to Relieve Painful Buttocks
If buttocks pain has been an ongoing
pain in your butt (pun intended!), what are you waiting for?
Set yourself free from the pain now, and for good, using these tried-and-true
(and all natural) solutions.
5. Use Inversion Therapy …
With inversion therapy, you increase the space between your vertebrae,
relaxing the pressure on your discs, ligaments and nerve roots. Increasing
intra-vertebral space means reducing pressure on the nerve roots, which means
less back and buttocks pain and less likelihood of nerve root damage.
When you oscillate up and down on an
inversion table, it creates a pumping action for the fluids around your spinal
discs. This forces waste out and draws in fluid around your discs, helping to
realign your spine when used in the long term.
4. Use a Truly Natural Pain Relief
Cream
Options like our Rub-On-Relief use White Willow Bark and other natural ingredients for sustained
pain relief – without the potential danger of methyl salicylate.
This is a broad-spectrum homeopathic
pain cream that was formulated to address many of the foundational reasons why
you are in pain.
Rub on Relief contains a synergistic
blend of homeopathic ingredients, each carefully selected to address pain and
inflammation from a slightly differently angle.
Rub on Relief offers pain relief, and
more, naturally, without questionable ingredients of any kind.
3. Relieve Pain with Far-Infrared Heat
A far-infrared heating pad penetrates deeper than skin level, reaching
the tissues and muscle underneath. This not only gives you relief from buttocks
pain caused by sciatica or herniated discs, it actually improves circulation to
the area to fight inflammation and promote healing by bringing in needed nutrients.
When you have pain like buttocks pain,
your body sends prostaglandins in to cause pain and inflammation. This signals
your body to take it easy and provides a mechanism for healing to take place.
But your body also needs proteolytic
enzymes to shut down the inflammation process and clean up excess fibrin, or
internal scar tissue, created during the healing process.
Our Heal-n-Soothe, includes not only 12 of nature’s most powerful natural
anti-inflammatories, but also a healthy dose of proteolytic enzymes — the first
line of defense your body has against pain but stops manufacturing much of
after your late 20’s. (The formula is so effective that we guarantee it’ll stop
your pain — or we’ll buy it back.)
As mentioned, poor posture, sitting for
long periods, awkward heavy lifting and activities like bicycling or jogging
can lead to postural dysfunctions and muscle imbalances that cause you buttocks
pain.
Identifying your postural dysfunctions,
so you can reverse your muscle imbalances to prevent further and ongoing
damage, is therefore essential to both buttocks pain relief and healing.
With the Lose the Back Pain System, you’ll go through a series of self-assessments
designed to help you pinpoint which postural dysfunctions you have, then you’ll
discover a customized series of corrective exercises, stretches, and
self-treatments that are unique to your condition.
While you’re at it, be sure to
read The 7-Day Back Pain Cure, which reveals the hidden causes of back pain
(which often mirror those of buttocks pain) along with lifestyle changes you
can make today and watch your pain disappear just days later. (You can
even pick up a copy now for FREE !)
If these solutions sound at all
intriguing to you, do not hesitate a moment longer. You’ve struggled with
buttocks pain for long enough, and you deserve to live your life pain-free from
here on out.
