How Chiropractors Can Support Recovery from Muscle Sprain in the Hip and Groin

Updated: Jan 11

How Chiropractors Can Support Recovery from Muscle Sprain in the Hip and Groin


There are so many hip and thigh muscles but we will focus on a few to show how you can help treat and prevent the muscles from re-spraining. 


Adductor Sprain 

Most of my patients are usually in sports where there are kicking, sprinting, or jumping (like high jumps or hurdles) 


You may experience a sudden pulling sensation in the groin which usually makes you stop the activity that you are doing due to the pain and limitation in movement. 


Most of the pain is around the pubic attachment.


How Health Wise Chiropractic Can Help:

- Stretching and muscle therapy along with chiropractic adjustments around the hip and pubic symphysis is usually performed. 

- Taping in a figure of 8 may also be applied to help with walking. 


Hamstring Strain 

Did you do a lot of gardening over the weekend? Did you play golf for the first time in yonker donkers? My weekend warrior patients are usually the ones who get problems with the hamstring. 

Pain is often more distal in the muscle belly and treatment is often the following :

- Rest and ice for the first week are often recommended 


The Chiropractors will ensure both the hamstrings and quadriceps are functioning properly to make sure one does not overcompensate for the other. 


Quadriceps Strain 

Do you have to pull pain the anterior tight? Was it after a sprint, kick, or suddenly stopped? It could have been a quadriceps strain 


people more likely to have a quadriceps strain are people with a leg length difference or an imbalance between the quadriceps of the opposite leg.
