Overview

Thigh pain is a common complaint that affects people of all ages—from athletes with muscle strains to older adults with vascular issues. The thigh contains some of the largest muscles in the body (quadriceps and hamstrings), making it susceptible to injury.

The good news: Most thigh pain is benign and responds well to TCM therapies and self-care.
