Pickleball, the fast-paced racquet sport that's taken Boulder, Colorado, by storm, is as thrilling as it is demanding.

Fast Pain Relief from Pickleball Injuries
The dynamic nature of pickleball can lead to a variety of injuries, which, in the past, may have required multiple specialists for treatment. However, our approach combines the expertise of chiropractic care, massage therapy, and physical therapy to provide comprehensive care for pickleball enthusiasts.
Common Pickleball Injuries
There are 5 common injuries that we see in our patients who play pickleball. Each of these injuries are things that we see regularly in the office and they are injuries that we can definitely help with. Each of the following injuries can arise from overuse or from a change in proper movement. While the pain may be felt in your elbow, shoulder, back, or hip, optimal on court movement requires the coordination of separate parts allowing synchronous movement. We will evaluate how your body is moving to ensure proper movement. We offer multiple treatment techniques to decrease your pain including class 4 laser therapy, graston technique, active release technique, and dry needling. At your evaluation we will talk about the most appropriate treatment for your specific injury.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis): A prevalent issue for pickleball and tennis players, this condition involves pain and inflammation on the outer part of the elbow. While the pain is felt in your elbow, how you move and control your upper back or shoulder contributes to your elbow pain. Overuse and repetitive motions can lead to this injury, which may benefit from chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapies, and targeted exercises. We also have class 4 laser therapy, dry needling, graston technique, and active release technique that can help to alleviate pain.
Rotator Cuff Injuries: The rotational and overhead motions involved in pickleball can strain the rotator cuff, leading to pain and limited shoulder mobility. Comprehensive care includes chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy to relieve muscle tension, and physical therapy to strengthen the rotator cuff.
Sprains and Strains: Twisting and turning on the pickleball court can result in sprains and strains, most commonly in the ankles, knees, or wrists. These injuries can benefit from chiropractic care to address alignment issues, massage therapy for pain relief, and physical therapy to regain strength and mobility.
Low Back Pain: The repetitive bending and twisting motions in pickleball can put stress on the lower back. Chiropractic adjustments can address spinal alignment issues, while massage therapy can alleviate muscle tension, and physical therapy can help restore flexibility and core strength.
Hamstring Injuries: Sudden starts and stops on the court can lead to hamstring injuries. Our integrated care approach combines chiropractic care for alignment, massage therapy for muscle recovery, and physical therapy for strength and flexibility.
