Are you feeling sore after a weekend match or struggling with joint pain after playing pickleball? You’re not alone. As one of the fastest-growing sports in the U.S., pickleball is fun, social, and accessible—but it also brings a rise in sports-related injuries, especially among adults and older players. At Redlands Chiropractic, we offer safe, non-surgical treatments to help you recover from pickleball injuries, restore mobility, and get back on the court with confidence.
Common Pickleball Injuries
Despite its reputation as a low-impact sport, pickleball requires quick lateral movements, bursts of speed, and repetitive swinging—making it easy to strain muscles and joints, especially if you’re new to the game or returning to activity after time off. Common injuries we see include:
● Shoulder injuries (rotator cuff strains, impingement)
● Hip pain
● Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
● Wrist sprains or overuse pain
● Low back pain due to twisting motions
● Knee strains or meniscus irritation
● Heel pain or plantar fasciitis
● Ankle sprains from quick directional changes
Most injuries result from poor mechanics, lack of conditioning, or past imbalances—which chiropractic care can help identify and correct.
Signs You May Need Chiropractic Care
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms after playing pickleball, it may be time to schedule a visit:
● Persistent joint or muscle pain
● Difficulty swinging or moving freely
● Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
● Limited range of motion
● Swelling or inflammation around joints
● Discomfort that worsens with continued play
