Groin pain is a common issue that can affect people of all ages and activity levels. Whether it’s a sharp twinge from an injury or a persistent ache, groin pain can limit your mobility, disrupt your daily routine, and affect your overall well-being. At Broadway Chiropractic and Care, we specialize in providing effective, non-invasive treatments for groin pain, helping you get back to feeling your best.
What Causes Groin Pain?
Groin pain can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from sports injuries to underlying conditions. The groin region, located where your abdomen meets your thigh, involves a complex network of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. When any of these structures are strained or injured, it can lead to discomfort and pain. Some common causes of groin pain include:
1. Muscle Strain
One of the most frequent causes of groin pain is a muscle strain, particularly in the adductor muscles that run along the inner thigh. This type of strain often occurs during activities that involve sudden changes in direction, such as running, soccer, or basketball.
2. Hip Issues
Hip problems, such as labral tears or osteoarthritis, can also cause groin pain. The hip joint is closely connected to the groin area, and when the hip is affected, the pain may radiate into the groin.
3. Hernia
A hernia occurs when tissue pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal muscles, often causing pain in the groin area. Inguinal hernias are particularly common and can result in sharp or aching pain.
4. Overuse Injuries
Repetitive motions, particularly in sports or activities that involve intense lower-body movement, can lead to overuse injuries in the groin area. This is often seen in athletes who engage in running, jumping, or heavy lifting.
5. Nerve Compression
Nerve compression, such as from conditions like sciatica or femoral nerve entrapment, can lead to referred pain in the groin. This type of pain may feel sharp or burning and can extend down the leg.
How Broadway Chiropractic and Care Can Help
At Broadway Chiropractic and Care, we take a holistic and individualized approach to treating groin pain. Our team of experienced chiropractors works closely with you to determine the underlying cause of your pain and develop a customized treatment plan. Here’s how we can help:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments can help realign your spine and joints, alleviating pressure on the nerves and muscles that may be contributing to your groin pain. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic care can improve your body’s ability to heal itself, reduce inflammation, and enhance mobility.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft tissue therapy, including techniques such as massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy, can be highly effective in treating muscle strains and tightness in the groin area. This therapy helps to release tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing in the affected muscles and tissues.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Strengthening and stretching exercises play a crucial role in recovering from groin pain and preventing future injuries. Our team at Broadway Chiropractic and Care will design a personalized rehabilitation program that includes exercises to strengthen the groin muscles, improve flexibility, and enhance overall stability.
Postural and Movement Analysis
Groin pain can sometimes be linked to poor posture or improper movement patterns. We assess your posture, gait, and body mechanics to identify any imbalances that may be contributing to your pain. By addressing these issues, we can help prevent further strain on your groin area.
Lifestyle and Activity Modifications
Our chiropractic care goes beyond just treating your symptoms. We’ll provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, such as changes to your exercise routine or ergonomic adjustments, to help reduce stress on your groin and promote long-term healing.

At Broadway Chiropractic and Care, we offer a range of non-invasive techniques to help manage pain without the need for medication or surgery.
