Groin injuries comprise 2 to 5 percent of all sports injuries. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are important to prevent these injuries from becoming chronic and potentially career-limiting.

GROIN

A common sport injury in change of direction, high speed running, jumping and landing sports is groin pain. Groin pain is a common sporting injury in high speed running, change of direction or jumping and landing sports. The musculature is complicated with highly stressed anchor points plus your lumbosacral spine and the involvement of pelvis joints.

 

Sacroiliac joints, your pubic symphysis, your low lumbar spine and hip joints are mainly involved in groin pain. One example of excessive stress occurring through your pubic symphysis is a bone impact condition that requires careful management to avoid surgery. Hip labral tear or hip arthritis can cause deep groin pain. Stress fractures can also affect your femur or pelvis

 

The main component of the rehabilitation and prevention of groin pain is muscle control. Your gluteal, deep hip rotators, adductors, deep abdominal core muscles and lower back muscles work together to control your leg on our pelvis and pelvis on your spine.

In coordination and muscle imbalance can cause groin pain. Muscle injury is an adductor muscle strain typically called groin pain. Runners and kickboxers can experience hip flexor injury.

 

Inguinal hernia or sportsman’s hernia occur in overstressed tissues which can cause groin pain.

Rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and osteoarthritis can be causes for groin pain. See advice from your doctor to rule out and systemic conditions.

 

Groin pain responds quickly with sport therapy. Proper diagnosis and early treatment allows people to quickly get back to normal activities.

Definition:

Groin Pain is the most common in dynamic sports where quick turns are made, such as football, martial arts and skiing. The cause canbe difficult to identify. Sporting causes include strains of the muscles in the area (e.g. the adductors, gluteal muscles, iliopsoas), bursitis,osteitis pubis and hernias.
