This study was performed to report the effectiveness of oriental medical treatment and muscle energy techniques on a patient with piriformis syndrome. The patient was diagnosed as piriformis syndrome and treated with acupuncture, herb medicine, physical therapy and muscle energy techniques. We have evaluated curative efficacy with measuring changes of visual analogue scale and physical examination according to period of hospitalization. After treatment, pain and visual analogue scale decreased. Physical examinations were recuperated nearly to normal findings and ambulation was improved. These results suggest that oriental medical treatment and muscle energy techniques were effective on patient with piriformis syndrome.
