That sharp twinge in the inner thigh when you twist, turn, or sprint? That’s your groin telling you something’s not right. Groin strains are all too common, especially in active people, but they’re also one of the most frustrating to fully recover from if left untreated.
At Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic, we take groin injuries seriously. Our team combines targeted chiropractic care and physiotherapy to get you out of pain and back to doing what you love, without fear of pulling it again.
What Is A Groin Strain?
Your groin muscles (known as the adductors) run along the inner thigh and help you bring your legs together and stabilise your hips during movement. A strain occurs when these muscles are overstretched or torn, usually during sudden, forceful movements.
Common symptoms include:
- Sharp or aching pain in the inner thigh or lower abdomen
- Pain when lifting the knee or squeezing the legs together
- Swelling or bruising in the groin area
- Tightness or weakness in the inner thigh
- Discomfort during walking, running, or side-to-side movement
What Causes Groin Strains?
Groin strains are particularly common in sports that involve sudden direction changes, like football, hockey, and tennis. But they can also occur during everyday activities if the muscles are tight, fatigued, or imbalanced.
Typical causes include:
- Rapid twisting or cutting movements
- Inadequate warm-up or poor flexibility
- Muscle fatigue or overload
- Previous injuries have not been fully rehabilitated
- Weakness in the core or hip stabilisers
How We Help at Isleworth Pain and Injury Clinic
We believe in treating the injury and the root cause, which is why our approach combines both chiropractic and physiotherapy for effective and long-lasting results.
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractor assesses how your pelvis, hips, and spine are moving, since tightness or misalignment in these areas can contribute to groin strain. Chiropractic adjustments restore proper alignment, improve movement efficiency, and reduce strain on the groin muscles.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapist tailors a rehab plan that addresses pain, mobility, and strength. This includes:
- Gentle stretches to restore muscle length
- Targeted strengthening of the groin, hips, and core
- Hands-on therapies to reduce tightness and inflammation
- Movement retraining to prevent re-injury
