Groin strain, often referred to as a pulled groin muscle, is a common sports-related injury that affects the muscles in the inner thigh and groin area. Whether the injury is mild or severe, it can cause significant discomfort and limit mobility. Proper groin strain treatment is essential to support healing, reduce the risk of complications, and prevent re-injury.

At Ripple Chiropractic, we focus on promoting natural healing and improving overall mobility through chiropractic care.

Our approach may help patients recover from both acute groin injuries and long-term complications associated with muscle tears or strains.

Groin strain can vary in severity, from mild discomfort to severe muscle tears. The injury often results from overuse, a lack of flexibility, or abrupt movements such as sprinting or changing direction during sports.

The adductor muscles, which connect the pelvis to the thigh bone, are particularly prone to strain.

Key Causes of Groin Strain

Sports-Related Groin Injuries: Activities such as soccer, basketball, or tennis often require sudden pivots or stretches that can lead to injury.
Muscle Weakness or Imbalances: Weak adductor muscles or imbalances in the hip and groin area increase the likelihood of strain.
Inadequate Warm-Up: Starting high-intensity activities without preparing the muscles can result in sudden groin pain or injury.
Overuse Injuries: Repetitive movements during training or work can strain the groin muscles over time.

The symptoms of groin pain can range from mild to severe depending on the injury.

The symptoms of a groin strain can range from mild to severe and often depend on the extent of the injury.

Mild Groin Strain: Tightness or discomfort in the inner thigh or groin that may worsen during movement.
Moderate Groin Strain: Swelling, bruising, and a sharp pain when using the affected muscle.
Severe Groin Strain: Inability to walk or move the leg without significant pain, often accompanied by visible muscle tearing or a “popping” sensation.

Identifying groin strain symptoms early is essential to ensure proper treatment and prevent the injury from becoming chronic.

To accurately diagnose the cause of hip pain, Ripple Chiropractic practitioners conduct a comprehensive assessment. This may include reviewing your medical history, evaluating your lifestyle, and performing physical examinations to understand movement limitations.

Chiropractic care may offer a comprehensive approach to groin strain treatment, focusing on addressing the root causes of pain while promoting long-term recovery.

At Ripple Chiropractic, we tailor treatment plans to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring optimal results.

How to Treat Groin Strain with Chiropractic Care

Manual Adjustments: These adjustments target the pelvis, hips, and lower spine to restore proper alignment, which may help reduce strain on the adductor muscles and surrounding structures. This approach may support groin strain recovery by improving joint mechanics and reducing unnecessary tension.
Soft Tissue Therapy: Techniques such as myofascial release and massage therapy are used to relax tight muscles, promote blood flow, and facilitate the healing of the pulled groin muscle. This therapy addresses the deep tissues affected by groin muscle strain and may accelerate recovery time.
Groin Strain Exercises: Gentle and progressive exercises are prescribed as they may help strengthen the adductor muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce the risk of re-injury. These exercises are an integral part of sports rehabilitation for groin injuries and may help improve overall performance.
Posture and Movement Training: Correcting posture and teaching proper movement techniques may reduce the strain on the groin and hip areas, aiding recovery and preventing future injuries.
Sports Rehabilitation for Groin Injuries: Tailored rehabilitation programs that focus on restoring full function, improving strength, and preparing for a safe return to physical activity may help with groin strain.

Chiropractic care may provide several advantages for those recovering from groin injuries:

Non-Invasive Treatment: Chiropractic techniques are non-invasive and avoid the risks associated with surgery or medication.
Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation: Manual adjustments and soft tissue therapy may alleviate discomfort and reduce inflammation, promoting faster recovery.
Improved Mobility and Flexibility: Addressing tension and stiffness in the adductor muscles and surrounding tissues may help restore full range of motion.
Reduced Groin Muscle Healing Time: Targeted therapies and exercises may speed up the healing process for mild and severe groin strains.
Enhanced Performance and Injury Prevention: Strengthening exercises and movement correction may reduce the risk of re-injury, improving overall physical performance.

There are numerous potential benefits of chiropractic care for groin strain treatment including pain relief, improved mobility and reduced healing time.

Preventing groin strain requires a combination of proper training techniques and self-care strategies. Ripple Chiropractic emphasises the importance of:

Stretching and Warm-Up Routines: Regularly stretching the groin muscles and warming up before physical activity can improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury.
Strengthening Exercises: Incorporating adductor-specific exercises into your routine helps build resilience in the groin and hip muscles.
Maintaining Proper Posture: Ensuring correct posture during daily activities and sports minimises unnecessary strain on the groin area.
Early Intervention for Mild Groin Strain: Seeking prompt treatment for minor injuries prevents them from worsening over time.

How long does a pulled groin take to heal?

The healing time for a pulled groin depends on the severity of the groin injury. Mild groin strains may take 1-2 weeks to heal, while severe strains involving the adductor longus muscle or abductor muscles can take several weeks to months. Chiropractic care may help accelerate recovery by addressing muscle imbalances and improving flexibility in the affected area.

How are groin strains diagnosed and treated with chiropractic care?

Groin strains are diagnosed through a detailed assessment of symptoms, movement limitations, and, if necessary, imaging to identify the specific muscles affected, such as the adductor longus muscle. Once groin strains are diagnosed, chiropractic care focuses on restoring alignment, reducing tension in the thigh muscles, and improving blood flow to promote healing. Groin strains treated with this approach may recover more effectively, minimising the risk of chronic pain.

Can chiropractic care help with sports-related groin injuries?

Chiropractic care may be able to assist in treating sports-related groin injuries, including groin strains and abductor strain. Treatments include manual adjustments to restore pelvic and hip alignment, soft tissue therapy to reduce tension in the groin and thigh muscles, and exercises to strengthen the abductor and adductor muscles.

How can I prevent groin strain in the future?

Preventing groin strain involves regular stretching and strengthening of the adductor and abductor muscles, particularly the adductor longus muscle. Warm-up exercises before physical activity and maintaining proper alignment through chiropractic care are essential. Addressing any imbalances in the thigh muscles may also help reduce the risk of groin strains during sports or daily activities.
