Groin Specialist in West London 

Muscle, Tendon or Ligament Strain: Strains or sprains in the groin area often result from overuse, sudden movements or sports injuries. This type of pain can range from mild discomfort to severe and debilitating. Effective treatment may involve rest, physical therapy, stretching, an anti-inflammatory diet, optimal nutrition and, if necessary, medication to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 

Hip Osteoarthritis: This common, degenerative joint disease affects the cartilage in the hip joint, leading to hip pain, hip stiffness and reduced mobility. As the cartilage wears away, it causes the bones to rub together, which can lead to significant groin pain and stiffness on the inner aspect of the groin near the adductor tendons. Common symptoms include difficulty putting on your shoes or socks or tights and stockings, getting on or off a bicycle and getting in and out of a bathtub. Sometimes pain from hip osteoarthritis keeps you awake at night and you might often need to sleep with a pillow between your legs. Our clinic offers various treatment options, including advice on nutrition, joint preserving injections, pain management strategies, physiotherapy, strength and conditioning work and advanced surgical interventions like minimally invasive high performance hip replacement of active adults, if needed. 

Hip/Pelvic Bone Fractures: Fractures in the hip or pelvic bones are serious injuries that can cause severe groin pain and pain on weight bearing or walking and standing. They often result from trauma, falls or high-impact activities. Treatment usually involves immobilisation, pain management, and possibly surgery to stabilise the bone and ensure proper healing. Our experienced specialist team provides personalised care to address these complex cases. 

Hernia: An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue protrudes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall, causing pain in the groin area. This condition causes discomfort – especially when lifting heavy objects or straining. Our hip and groin team can refer you onto leading hernia specialists for further assessment if needed. 

Ovarian Issues: Certain ovarian conditions, such as ovarian cysts or endometriosis, can manifest as cyclical or persistent groin pain and often requires an holistic approach for diagnosis and management. Our expert London based groin and hip specialists have excellent ties with local gynaecological specialist colleagues in and around Central and West London who they can refer you onto if necessary. 

Trapped Nerve: A trapped nerve in the lower back or pelvis can radiate pain to the groin area. This condition often results from spinal issues or disc problems. Symptoms can include sharp, shooting pain, numbness or weakness radiating to the thigh, groin, outer aspect of the calf, toes and sole of the foot. Sitting is normally very uncomfortable and you might also have some back ache or pain. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools such as the latest 3 Tesla MRI scanning to identify the source of the nerve compression and provides tailored treatment to alleviate symptoms and address the underlying issue, in collaboration with leading spinal orthopaedic specialists and expert anaesthetic chronic pain specialists in London and Surrey and Berkshire.
