Groin complaints refer to pain in the area at the front and inside of the upper thigh and the pubic region. These complaints encompass a wide range of issues with various causes. This is because the groin serves as an important connection in the chain between the core, lower back, and pelvis with the hip and leg. As a result, this region is subjected to significant forces, especially during (explosive) sports activities.
Pain can primarily stem from the groin muscles, hip flexors, abdominal muscles, lower back muscles, pubic bone, inguinal canal, hip joint, and pelvis. Due to this complexity, it is crucial to establish an accurate diagnosis so that treatment can be tailored to your specific complaints. Groin complaints are known for their tendency to persist if not properly addressed, so don’t wait too long to take action if you experience symptoms!
