- Ankle Sprains: Quick lateral movements can sometimes lead to ankle twists or sprains.
- Knee Injuries: The fast-paced nature of pickleball can put stress on the knees, leading to strains or ligament injuries.
- Shoulder Strain: Repetitive overhead shots can cause strain on the shoulder muscles and joints.
- Tennis Elbow: Frequent use of the forearm muscles can lead to inflammation and pain outside the elbow.
- Achilles Tendonitis: Overuse or sudden stress on the Achilles tendon can cause pain and swelling.
