Accessible to all ages, it appeals to both newcomers and experienced athletes alike. \u00b9<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like many racquet sports, pickleball puts stress on the muscles, tendons, and joints. While most games take place without incident, some injuries can occur, especially during quick changes of direction, repetitive movements, or falls.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Knowing the most common injuries, how to prevent them, and when to consult a healthcare professional can help make playing this sport safer.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Why do injuries happen in pickleball?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Pickleball is played on a relatively small court, but it involves many quick movements, pivots, accelerations, and sudden stops. The repetitive motions used to hit the ball also place stress on the upper limbs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Several factors can contribute to the risk of injury, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">quick changes of direction;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">repetitive shoulder, elbow, and wrist movements;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">loss of balance that can lead to a fall;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">insufficient warm-up;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">returning too quickly after an injury;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">a sudden increase in the intensity or frequency of games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Risk can also vary depending on age, physical condition, playing experience, and history of injury.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">The most common injuries in pickleball<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Ankle sprain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Quick changes of direction can lead to a misstep and cause an ankle sprain.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Symptoms may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">pain;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">swelling;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">difficulty walking;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">a feeling of instability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Knee injuries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Pivots and lateral movements can place stress on different structures in the knee, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">ligaments;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">menisci;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">tendons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Depending on the injury, pain, swelling, a locking sensation, or instability may occur.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Shoulder injuries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The repetitive motions used to serve or hit the ball can strain the shoulder muscles and tendons.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Some people may experience:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">pain with movement;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">reduced range of motion;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">arm weakness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Epicondylitis (tennis elbow)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Despite its name, epicondylitis can also affect pickleball players.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Repetitive wrist and forearm movements can cause pain around the elbow, especially when gripping the racket or lifting objects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wrist injuries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A fall onto the hand can cause a sprain, fracture, or another wrist injury.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Significant pain or difficulty using the hand should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Muscle injuries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The calf, thigh, and hamstring muscles are especially stressed during quick movements.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">An inadequate warm-up or increasing activity intensity too quickly can contribute to the risk of muscle injury.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">How can pickleball injuries be prevented?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">No method can completely eliminate the risk of injury. However, certain habits can help reduce it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">do a few minutes of warm-up before playing;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">gradually increase the intensity and duration of games;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">wear shoes that provide good support and traction;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">work on balance, strength, and flexibility;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">stay well hydrated;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">allow for recovery periods between sessions;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">avoid continuing an activity despite significant pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">When should you consult a healthcare professional?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After a sports injury, it is recommended to consult if you experience, in particular:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">significant or persistent pain;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">an inability to bear weight on one leg;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">significant swelling;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">a visible deformity;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">a major limitation in movement;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">a feeling of instability;<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">pain that does not improve after a few days or returns when activities are resumed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A healthcare professional will be able to assess your situation, make a diagnosis, and determine whether a medical imaging exam is indicated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What is the role of medical imaging?<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Depending on the symptoms and clinical assessment, different imaging tests may be requested.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>X-ray<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">X-ray is often used when a fracture or dislocation is suspected.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Ultrasound<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Ultrasound can help assess certain injuries involving tendons, muscles, and some superficial ligaments.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">MRI provides detailed images of soft tissues. Depending on the clinical situation, it can help assess injuries involving ligaments, menisci, tendons, muscles, and certain other joint structures.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The choice of exam always depends on the suspected injury and the assessment carried out by the healthcare professional.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">A prompt assessment can help guide care<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When a significant or persistent injury is present, consulting a healthcare professional helps determine the nature of the problem and guide care. When indicated, medical imaging can help clarify the diagnosis and support clinical decision-making.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If your healthcare professional recommends an imaging exam, the Radimed team is here to support you. Thanks to the expertise of our technologists, radiologists, and caring staff, as well as our high-tech equipment, we perform a range of medical imaging exams that can help clarify the diagnosis and support clinical decision-making.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Frequently asked questions (FAQ)<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>When should you consult after a pickleball injury?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If the pain is significant, persists despite rest, is accompanied by major swelling, a deformity, an inability to use the affected limb, or limits your movements, an evaluation by a healthcare professional is recommended. They will be able to determine whether a medical imaging exam is indicated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Can you keep playing pickleball despite pain?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">That depends on the nature and intensity of the pain. If it is significant, worsens during activity, or limits your movements, it is best to consult a healthcare professional before returning to play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Is an X-ray, ultrasound, or MRI always necessary after an injury?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">No. Not every injured player needs an imaging exam. After a clinical assessment, the healthcare professional will determine whether an X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, or no exam at all is indicated, based on the symptoms and the suspected injury.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>How can you reduce the risk of injury in pickleball?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A good warm-up, gradually increasing game intensity, proper footwear, good hydration, and recovery periods can help reduce the risk of injury. While it is impossible to eliminate this risk completely, these habits support safer play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\">Pickleball Canada.
