Soft Tissue Therapy for Groin Injury

Groin injury is very common among athletes, construction workers, or someone who has been involved in a motor-vehicle accident. Almost everyone have had this injury at one time of their life. Minor going injury will heal on its own in most cases with the help of proper home care. However, a serious groin injury can lead to various complications such as loss of range of motion, inability to involve in certain activities that may require strength, among others. That is why treatment is absolutely required when dealing with a groin injury.

Acute groin injury may occur from direct impact to the groin area, a stabbing injury, a fall, or from the leg being turned in an abnormal position. It is possible to tear the groin muscle during exercise or daily activities such as basketball, running, hockey or pulling, lifting, and pushing movements. An overuse groin injury occurs when too much stress is placed in only one area. This usually involves repeating one action many times, and it can lead to muscle strains, a hairline crack in a bone, bursitis, osteitis pubis, hip problems, avulsion fractures, among others.

However, a groin injury can also be caused by another part of the body. This is called referred pain. Pulled muscles, ligaments or tendons in the leg area may trigger symptoms in the groin. Hernias are also known for affecting the groin area, specially if they are inguinal hernias or sports related hernias.

Treatments for groin injury

Groin injury treatment is based on immediate action to stop the bleeding, swelling and restoring the muscle to full function. Chiropractic therapy for groin injury is the initial phase of pain treatment. A progressive stretching and strengthening exercise program is designed to ensure the muscle regains pre-injury strength. This is also is a preventative measure to reduce the possibility of re-injury. Massage therapy is often recommended in the rehabilitation stage in order to assist with flexibility and functionality of the groin area.
