Do you have burning pain down your leg and can’t tell if it’s sciatica or piriformis syndrome? You’re not alone. Thousands are misdiagnosed every year, stuck treating the wrong area and wondering why their pain never improves.

In this episode, I break down three simple tests you can do right now to pinpoint the root of your pain. Then, I’ll show you the right exercises based on your diagnosis — so you can finally stop guessing and start healing.

You’ll learn:

 ✅ The key differences between sciatica and piriformis syndrome
 ✅ Why piriformis syndrome is often overdiagnosed (only 0.3–6% of cases!)
 ✅ Simple at-home tests to reveal the true source of your pain
 ✅ Step-by-step exercises to fix piriformis-related pain
 ✅ The exact extension and nerve flossing drills that reduce sciatica pain
 ✅ Why treating the wrong problem wastes months (or years) of recovery time

This isn’t generic stretching advice — this is a targeted, test-driven approach to getting pain-free fast.

And remember: over 2,000 people worldwide have fixed their sciatica and disc pain through our Centralization Process — a proven step-by-step program to identify the cause, reduce nerve irritation, and bulletproof your spine for long-term relief.
