Treatment of a Groin Disruption

Treating a groin disruption can be challenging as there are no tests or x-rays that will truly prove its diagnosis. As a result, it is often misdiagnosed and treated initially as a pull or strain, which involves a conservative treatment approach. Often a groin disruption will not heal on its own, even with conservative treatments. Therefore, surgery is often used to fix the injury and permit you to return to your daily routine and sports activities. Your doctor will consider your activity level, your age, the location and severity of your groin pain, as well as how long you have had it, the symptoms you experience and any other associated groin injuries when determining the best treatment for you.

During your recovery, you will probably have to modify and/or eliminate the activities that cause tenderness or discomfort in your groin area until your pain and inflammation settle. Scar tissue can often develop with a groin disruption, where the soft tissue has pulled away from the bone. As your damaged groin tissues heal this dead, fibrotic tissue will be produced instead of forming brand new healthy tissue. This tissue adheres to your muscle fibers, tendons, ligaments, fascia, nerves, and joints causing pain and preventing them from moving properly (this limits your range of motion, flexibility and strength).

Rest is vital for a groin disruption to heal, if you continue to energetically participate in activities that cause pain, the discomfort and degree of damage can worsen and last for a longer period of time. You will often notice groin improvement after 3-4 weeks of conservative treatments (before and/or after surgery). The more diligent you are with your treatment and rehabilitation, the faster you will see successful results.

An Inferno Wrap™ is one of the most helpful tools for a wide varity of painful groin related injuries. Through the absorption of deep penetrating energy waves, tissues are safely and gently heated - increasing blood flow within the treated area. Your body’s natural response to this increased temperature is to try to maintain a condition of homeostasis — a balanced environment or state of equilibrium throughout the body. To do this, your body responds with a rapid increase in blood flow to the area (this is known as vasodilation), increasing the supply of nutrients to injured cells and flushing out toxins (including lactic acid, commonly found in trigger points) to promote healing. Our Leg Inferno Wrap provides effective, non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects.

Our Cold Compression Freezie Wraps are the first choice for professional athletes, several professional sports organizations, and countless medical professionals. That's why we sell them, because they are the best. We have noticed over time that our customers are so fond of our cold wraps that they are frequently coming back and ordering more. The wraps can be conveniently stored in a cooler for quick application on the field when needed.

Ultrasound therapy is also a helpful tool for pain prevention of groin injuries, and having a portable ultrasound device at home can be a powerful and convenient treatment tool. If you have symptoms or are recovering from a groin injury, using ultrasound on a regular basis before your activity or throughout the day will help relax your muscles, tendons and tissues, diminish pain and inflammation, soften scar tissue and contribute greatly to the healing of your injury.

If you suffer from pain after certain activities or movements use ultrasound therapy when you complete the activity and then rest. Limit the application of ultrasound to a couple of treatments per day (the manual will recommend treatment frequency depending upon the injury). In between ultrasound treatments, maximize your pain relief and injury recovery by using the Freezie Wrap to reduce pain, swelling and tissue damage and the Inferno Wrap to speed healing and maintain a healthy groin.
