Buttock and Leg Pain is most commonly caused by joint dysfunction (abnormal motion) of the joints of the low back, pelvis and hips. Restoring the function (normal motion pattern) eliminates the pain. Functional problems are called syndromes. They are correctable because disease and pathology are not the cause of the pain.
Dysfunction of the muscles (myofascial trigger point pain syndromes) that attach to and move the joints of the low back, pelvis and hips can also cause low back, buttock and leg pain. Each dysfunctional muscle has a characteristic area of enderness, tightness and referral pain pattern. You will note from the examples below that there is a huge overlap of muscular referral pain patterns so the pain pattern alone is not enough to make a diagnosis.
