Heal Your Groin: Combine Ultrasound and
Thermal Wrap Home Therapies!

The groin muscles are responsible for bringing the legs back under your body (adduction), keeping your balanced while you stride. There are five adductor muscles; most commonly people injure their adductor longus, connecting the pubic bone and mid femur, but a pull to any of the adductors constitutes a groin pull. Usually a pull or rupture results from sudden resistance such as sprinting or a drastic change in direction while running.

It may no be apparent that you have strained a groin muscle until the following day when muscle tightness, soreness and swelling and/or bruising emerge. Groin pulls are graded 1, 2, or 3 depending on the severity of the pull. A grade 1 strain may cause mild discomfort but may not even be enough to interrupt activity, while a grade 3 strain would be noticed on occurrence followed by severe swelling, bruising and possibly an inability to contract the adductor muscles.

Sporting activities that put your groin muscles at risk include skating, cross-country skiing, running and rollerblading, but there aren't many sports that present no risk of groin injury. Groin pulls seem to be related to hip muscle strength, abdominal strength, warm-up (especially stretching), biomechanical discrepancies such as strength imbalances, and previous injuries. Put simply, it boils down to an overexertion of the adductors which depends on training intensity, conditioning and adequate warm-up.

If the area is not attended to properly a groin pull can quickly get worse. Continued exertion on the muscle will quickly change a minor stretch into a major tear. This is why prompt and effective treatment is required; a treatment that will enable you to exercise diligence and convenience; a treatment specifically designed for soft tissue injuries!

This is why prompt and effective treatment is required; a treatment that will enable you to exercise diligence and convenience; a treatment specifically designed for soft tissue injuries! In the injuries initial stages it is important to reduce the swelling in the area and to control the pain as much as you can. The URICE (Ultrasound, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) method has long been a tried and true treatment for muscle pulls and other soft tissue injuries. The best way to heal is to reduce swelling; the URICE method facilitates this as well as a quicker healing time.

The MendMeShop Portable Ultrasound Therapy System and our top quality cold wraps provide you with the tools necessary to relieve the pain caused by your strained adductors and dramatically speed the healing of any tissue inflammation. When using radiant energy or ultrasound, the energy waves stimulate blood flow which speeds up healing and clears away the pain causing inflammation. Beginning with your very first treatment you will feel the relief - the power - of ultrasound therapy. Ultrasound waves travel deep into your body, over 3 inches deep, delivering therapeutic benefits to the source of the pain.

Our Ultrasound system comes with a specially formulated gel which contains naturally-based, pain relieving, anti-inflammatory ingredients. The ultrasound unit actually drives the pain relieving ingredients deep into injured tissue (a process known medically as phonophoresis) giving you the pain relief where you need it. In effect, you receive enhanced ultrasound therapy treatment every session!

To get the maximum benefits combine ultrasound therapy and our cold therapy wraps for the ultimate in URICE treatment!
