Sprains in the groin.

Playing sports is always injury, but sometimes habitual injuries are replaced by rare and not always understandable pain sensations. So the desire to squat without proper training of muscles with legs wide apart or trying to sit on a split (half-split) out of habit can end up extremely painful - stretching the ligaments of the groin area. A similar injury can lead to sharp eversion of the legs in the area of the hip joint to the outside, sharp lunges with the legs to train the thigh muscles. Trying to pump the muscles of the inner thigh at an accelerated pace can also lead to a stretch in the groin area.

Considering that stretching muscles and ligaments anywhere is a very painful thing, stretching of muscles or ligaments in the groin area brings not only pain, but also elementary inconveniences, since there is no way to fix the site of injury in a motionless state. Any trip to the toilet costs the sprain victim incredible volitional efforts.

First aid for stretching the inguinal ligaments and muscles - apply cold to the injury site (the inner side of the thigh closer to the groin) and ensure peace of the injured area - exclude movement. Ligaments in the groin area can be not just stretched, but torn, torn completely, which requires a hardware examination and establishing the degree of trauma to the ligamentous apparatus and muscles.

Treatment of sprains in the groin consists in rest and time for the processes of tissue regeneration. Small tears of muscle fibers and connective tissue will heal on their own, you only need limited mobility in this area. Complex tears are connected by surgery.

Further restoration of the elasticity of the ligaments and muscles requires therapeutic exercises, which will gradually restore the work of tissues. It is very important not to start therapeutic training, since they are the prevention of muscle contractures and the loss of the ability to fully stretch the musculo-ligamentous apparatus.

An injury such as stretching in the groin area is the result of the unpreparedness of the tissues for sharp loads - jerks. In order to avoid this kind of injury, it is necessary to warm up the muscles before physical exertion - at a slow pace, with kneading, to stretch the muscles.
