Nature of hip adductor tendon treatment
Hip adductor tendon treatment focuses on healing the tendon where it attaches to the pelvis. This involves reducing inflammation, promoting tissue repair, and addressing movement limitations. Techniques may include guided injections into the tendon sheath and a tailored rehabilitation program.
Common causes of adductor tendon injuries
Adductor tendon injuries are typically caused by overuse or sudden strain, including:
Abnormal bone growth (cam/pincer lesions): Irregular shapes of the ball or socket restrict movement.
Overuse from sports: Repetitive stress in sports like football, skating, or gymnastics.
Sudden directional changes: Quick lateral movements can strain or tear the tendon.
Poor flexibility or warm-up: Increases risk during activity.
Direct trauma: Impact injuries to the groin area.
Muscle imbalance: Weak core or hip stabilisers can overload the adductors.
Diagnosing suitability for hip adductor tendon treatment
Diagnosis involves a thorough clinical assessment, focusing on groin tenderness and movement pain. Imaging such as ultrasound or MRI may be used to confirm the extent of tendon damage. Patients who have not improved with rest or physiotherapy are typically good candidates for advanced treatments like guided injections or surgical repair. Your clinician will determine the best approach based on your lifestyle and severity of symptoms.

Treatment overview
Treatment for hip adductor tendon injuries focuses on relieving pain and restoring function. Depending on the severity, options may include guided injections to reduce inflammation and stimulate healing, alongside a structured physiotherapy program. In cases where the tendon is significantly damaged, surgical repair may be considered. Early intervention helps prevent chronic pain and long-term limitations.
The hip adductors are a group of muscles on the inner thigh responsible for pulling the leg inward. Strains or tears in the adductor tendon—often due to overuse or high-impact activity—can cause persistent groin pain and reduced mobility. This condition is common in athletes and individuals performing frequent twisting or cutting motions.
