Groin Pain

Groin Pain

Groin pain is a common and uncomfortable chronic ailment that can impact a patient’s mobility and overall quality of life. Non-Surgical Spine Center helps patients by properly diagnosing and helping ease groin pain through a variety of cutting-edge treatment options.

SYMPTOMS OF GROIN PAIN

Some patients will describe pain in the groin region right where the front of the leg starts. Pain in this area is frequently associated with hip joint problems. An x-ray or MRI may be necessary to further evaluate the hip for arthritis or other causes of pain.

CAUSES OF GROIN PAIN

There are a number of reasons for pain radiating to the groin including:

  • Muscle strain and tears
  • Compression of various nerves caused by sitting for extended periods of time
  • Arthritis
  • Pinched nerves
  • Herniated disks
  • Lesions on the nerves
  • Sports injuries
  • Compression fractures
  • Other medical conditions

TREATMENTS FOR GROIN PAIN

Non-surgical treatment options include, but are not limited to, intra-articular hip injections and physical therapy. In some cases, pain in the groin region may actually be referred from a nerve that comes from the low back. In these cases, an MRI or CT of the low back may be necessary often followed by a selective nerve block.
