Insight from sports medicine physician听Hallie Zwibel, D.O., assistant dean of clinical operations, was featured in a听First for Women听article about common pickleball injuries. In the story, which was also picked up by听,听Zwibel explained,听鈥淧ickleball, while lots of fun, can sometimes lead to injuries such as sprains, strains, and even fractures.听Common issues include ankle sprains from quick lateral movements, shoulder strains from overhand shots, and knee problems from sudden stops and starts. These injuries often happen because the sport requires agility and rapid directional changes that can catch players off guard. Additionally, a lack of proper form and technique can lead to overusing certain muscles or putting undue stress on your joints.鈥�
