A torn adductor muscle is a strained groin. An adductor muscle assists the leg in backward range-of-motion (ROM) to the midline, which is known as adduction. Adductor muscles stabilize the lower limbs to the middle for stability in routine mobility like when walking. Adductor muscles are employed for accelerated shifting and ROM.
In sudden transference of ROM (like kicking or sprinting), the groin muscle can be strained because of overload. Groin strain is measured threefold:
First degree groin strain is up to 10% of injured muscle fiber. Symptoms for this damage is groin irritation or in the inner thigh region, when running and during swift mobility. Groin stiffness and acute sensitivity are also related.
Second degree groin strain can have up to 90% of ruptured muscle fiber. Symptoms for this strain are acute groin pain during intense activity, heightened and protracted groin stiffness, some bruising and swelling, frail adductor muscles, pain because of stretching, and pain when running or walking.
Third degree groin strain is a total rupture of groin muscles. Symptoms for an acute groin strain may be agonizing pain during movement, incapability to flex legs together, substantial bruising and swelling, and probability of separation or a protrusion sensed in the groin muscle.
Treatment for a strained groin
Severe groin strain requires prompt medical care to curtail the possibility of lasting damage. A minor groin strain can be immediately iced to assuage swelling. Crutches are advisable for various days to avert pressuring body weight on the damaged groin muscles.
Sports therapy can galvanize the duration of recuperation. Particular methods of rehabilitating the groin are ultrasound, laser treatment, massage therapy to help the muscle flexibility, and a spectrum of workouts to stretch and strengthen the groin muscle. Generally, a third degree groin strain needs surgery to amend torn muscles. Ensuing surgery a diverse rehab regimen helps to restore flexibility and strength.
