Diagnosis of sports hernia

What is a sports hernia?

A sports hernia is a tear of the transversalis fascia of the lower abdominal or groin area. A sports hernia is often mistakenly thought to be the same as a traditional hernia. The mechanism of injury is a rapid twisting and change of direction in sports such as football, basketball, soccer, and hockey.

The term "sports hernia" is becoming more common as more and more professional athletes are being diagnosed. Here are some examples:

Torii Hunter
Tom Brady
Ryan Getzlaf
Julio Jones
Jeremy Shockey
If you follow any of these professional athletes, they all seem to have the same thing in common: persistent groin pain. If you play fantasy sports, it’s a major headache because it seems so minor, but it can send a player to injured reserve at any time. In real life, it’s a very frustrating condition, to say the least. It’s hard to identify, goes away with rest, and comes back after activity, but it’s hardly painful enough to make you want to quit. It lingers and is always on your mind. And if you’re looking for my step-by-step sports hernia rehab video course, here it is.

One of the best definitions of sports hernias is as follows, according to Harmon:
“The phenomenon of chronic activity-related groin pain does not respond to conservative treatment and improves significantly with surgical repair.”

This is how sports hernias behave in a clinical setting. It is not uncommon for a sports hernia to go unnoticed for months or even years. Unlike a typical sports injury, most sports medicine practices have only seen a handful of cases. It is simply not on most doctors' radar. The purpose of this article is not only to raise awareness of sports hernias, but also to educate.

Will you find quick solutions in this article for sports hernia rehabilitation?
No. There is no magic bullet for this problem, and if anyone tries to sell you one, they'll blow smoke up your… you know what.

Is there a way to reduce pain from sports hernias?
Yes. Proper rehabilitation and avoiding any activity for a period of time will help greatly, but it won't always prevent the pain from coming back. Pain is the first thing to go and the last thing to go away. Don't be fooled if you rest and are pain-free. Pain is just a measure of how much your rehabilitation has improved. Strength, change of direction, balance, and power (to name a few) are important because you obviously want to get back to your sport. If you wanted to stay on your couch, you'd feel better in no time. Watching Sports Center doesn't require any movement.

Why is this article so long?
There is a lot of information about sports hernias available on the web. However, much of this information is scattered across the internet and difficult for athletes to digest due to complicated terminology. This article will cover the basic terminology you will need to understand your options if you are injured. We will go over anatomy, biomechanics, rehabilitation, surgery, and even fun facts. The information I use is from the last ten years of medical research, up to 2016. We will also update it over time when something new is discovered. So, link to this page and share it with your friends. This is the best source of information about sports hernias you will ever find.

How a sports hernia develops
Chronic groin pain usually develops over time, which is why with sports hernias we don’t often hear about a “popping” sensation or a specific moment of injury. It is the result of “overuse” mechanics resulting from a combination of inadequate strength and endurance, lack of dynamic control, movement pattern abnormalities, and movement disharmony in the groin area.
