What many patients refer to as a pulled groin is actually a stretch or tear of the muscle that extends from the inner thigh to the pubic bone. Athletes like football, soccer, and hockey players are particularly vulnerable to groin injuries, which often occur after a sudden change of direction or while jumping. Thankfully, Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group provides specialized care for severe pulled groin injuries in the Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg, FL, area. Board-certified physicians Dr. Daniel Murphy and Dr. Arnold Ramirez have ample experience treating groin injuries – both at our clinic and on the medical staffs of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the New York Yankees.
Visit us if you are experiencing persistent symptoms of a pulled groin that do not subside after resting and icing the area:
- Pain and soreness in the groin muscle
- Pain when raising the knee
- Pain when bringing the legs together
At Tampa Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Group, Dr. Murphy and Dr. Ramirez take a conservative approach to treatment that focuses on healing injuries through trusted non-surgical means, such as physical therapy and regenerative medicines. It is our primary goal to restore function and comfort in a manner that’s convenient for our patients, who range from high school athletes to seniors. Should your pulled groin injury necessitate surgery, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Murphy will explain your options and help you make an informed decision regarding your care.
