How groin pain and pelvic function are linked

Pain in the groin often finds its origins in pelvic dysfunction, a condition in which the pelvic joints are imbalanced or misaligned. This imbalance can lead to strain on the surrounding structures, manifesting as pain in the groin area.

Let’s take a closer look:

Pelvic Dysfunction Pelvic dysfunction can occur for various reasons, including muscle imbalances, poor alignment, growth spurts or maternal birth trauma. It’s more common than is appreciated and studies indicate that up to 30% of adults may experience pelvic pain at some point.

Pelvic dysfunction and groin pain after giving birth The mid trimester hormonal changes create ligamentous laxity. This helps the pelvis to widen and facilitates child birth when the happy day comes. However, this looseness of the ligaments can persist and ultimately leads to an unstable pelvic - the most common reason for people to have back pain and groin pain. Chiropractic can help with this condition.

Athletes can suffer from pelvic dysfunction and groin pain Athletes are especially vulnerable to pelvic dysfunction because of the repetitive nature of their training. Sports-related pelvic injuries account for a significant percentage of groin pain cases, affecting athletes across a variety of disciplines. Many elite athletes including olympians use chiropractic to address this problem.

Types of Groin Pain Associated with Pelvic Dysfunction:

• Adductor Muscle Strains Symphysis Pubis instability is associated with pelvic girdle pain and also adductor muscle strain

• Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: The vulnerable ligaments the hold the two bones of the Sacro-iliac joint together often stretch, creating a chronic sprain

• Hip joint (coxa-femoral joint) dysfunction This substantial ball and socket joint can present a variety of issues that lead to groin pain - some can be seen on X-ray and other only determined on physical examination
