Maigne Syndrome and Cluneal Neuropathy

Maigne syndrome and cluneal neuropathy are commonly overlooked causes of pain in the lumbosacral region, iliac crest, and buttock. In fact, the pair are causative or contributory in up to 40% of LBP cases. And that prospect increases as symptoms extend over the posterior iliac crest. Maigne syndrome typically results from irritation of a thoracolumbar dorsal ramus. Facet joint dysfunction, degeneration, and instability are common culprits. Maigne syndrome is particularly elusive because the anatomical site of origin is often asymptomatic. This podcast will cover the essentials of management, including the most appropriate assessments, treatments, and exercises. Have a listen!
