Groin Pain Treatment & Relief Ireland
Treating Groin Pain In Dublin, Ireland
Groin pain is a common complaint. It can come on slowly or be sudden and intense. Physiotherapy may help with many types of groin pain.
We’ll discuss the treatments we offer at Dublin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy for groin pain in this blog post!
What Causes Groin Pain?
Groin pain can come on suddenly due to a groin strain, which is an injury involving the groin muscles or adductors. A groin pull or tear causes this type of groin pain and will cause sudden sharp groin pain that may also be accompanied by bruising along the affected area where the muscle has been pulled. Sudden onset groin pain after an injury is fairly common, but groin pain can also come on gradually over time due to a variety of causes.
Groin Pain Due To Degeneration In The Hip
Over time, the bones in the hip slowly begin to degenerate, and with age, the process of regeneration slows down as our metabolism slows. This can lead to general pain around the hip and groin that may be accompanied by stiffness when you wake up in the morning, which goes away after you move around for a bit.
Groin Pain Due To Repetitive Motion From Running Or Other Sports Activities
If groin pain is due to overuse through sports such as running or soccer, it may come on gradually. Warming up before sport and cooling down afterwards may help reduce the risk of injury.
Groin Pain Due To Other Causes
If groin pain doesn’t fit into the categories above, there are other possible causes, some of which need medical assessment. See your GP if you are unsure.
Seek urgent medical care (GP, A&E, or call 112/999) if you have loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or buttocks, progressive leg or arm weakness, or pain with fever, unexplained weight loss, chest pain or breathlessness.

How We Help People With Groin Pain
We’ve talked a lot about groin pain and how we treat it, but let’s talk more specifically about the treatments at Dublin Chiropractic & Physiotherapy that help relieve groin pain.
Physical Therapy Care
Physiotherapy usually starts by easing pain and discomfort with hands-on therapy such as massage, joint mobilisation and stretching, and gradual exercise therapy. The next step is to rebuild the strength and resilience of the groin muscles, progressing your exercise programme gradually.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy uses targeted light energy. The evidence for it is limited, and results vary. For more information call us at (01) 575 2623.
Spinal Decompression
We also offer spinal decompression, which uses controlled traction of the spine. Your clinician will advise whether it is suitable for you. The research on traction for back pain and sciatica is limited, and clinical guidelines don’t recommend it as a routine treatment. We only use it as an optional addition to an exercise-based plan, review it at the sixth visit, and stop if it isn’t helping. Most people find it comfortable. Some feel a stretch or mild soreness, especially early on — tell us and we’ll adjust.
It isn’t suitable for everyone — see who shouldn’t have it. To find out more, give us a call.
