What Is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a rapidly growing sport. In 2019 there were 3.5 million players and in 2023 it jumped to 23 million. Pickleball injuries generated 350 million in medical costs in 2023. Most of these injuries are in the age group 60-69. Many times people are picking up this sport without much of a warm up or conditioning for this sport. Even though pickleball has less court to cover than playing tennis it is very explosive and requires many quick movements with quick changes of direction.

This report will go over the top 2 things to do to prepare for playing pickleball to prevent injuries. It will also cover the top 3 injuries and how to prevent them.

Regenerative therapies for Pickleball Injuries

Shockwave works with stimulating the bodies own ability to heal. It uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate the tenocytes for tendons to heal and bring in blood flow to areas that don’t get a good blood supply.

Many tendons take a long time to heal due to lack of blood flow so this helps with that and it stimulates the body’s own stem cells and growth factors needed for healing.

Shockwave has an 82% success rate. If you have been stuck and feeling like your tendon injury or issue is slowing you down schedule a free Regen consult with us.
