Pickleball has exploded in popularity across Peachtree City and the surrounding communities. It’s easy to see why as the sport is fun, social, and a great way to stay active. What’s not so fun is the fast swings, overhead serves, and repetitive movements that can take a toll on your shoulders. Many players end up with nagging shoulder pain that keeps them off the court (and nobody wants to miss out on their regular games with friends).
If you’re a pickleball player in our area dealing with shoulder pain, chiropractic care may be the natural, effective solution you’ve been looking for.
Why Pickleball Players Get Shoulder Pain
The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, but that mobility makes it prone to injury. Common shoulder issues in pickleball athletes include:
- Rotator cuff strain or tendonitis from overhead serves and smashes
- Shoulder impingement with irritation and inflammation from repetitive swinging
- Poor posture or mechanics that add stress to the joint
- Overuse injuries from too many matches without enough rest
- Joint restrictions or misalignments causing stiffness and compensation
“The sport is fantastic for staying active, but the repetitive overhead motion can really stress the shoulder joint. The good news is that with the right chiropractic care, most players can get back on the court quickly and play pain-free for years to come,” says Dr. Gary Davis.
