Longview Hip Flexor Injury Treatment

A sharp pain in the front of the hip (groin) is a tell-tale sign of a hip flexor injury. This pain, along with decreased or limited range of motion, and tenderness, swelling, or bruising near the groin, are also indicative of the issue. During running, biking or repetitive leg exercises, the hips may swing forward in overextension. This can cause that sharp pain in the front of the hip.
