PODIATRIST DISCUSSES PICKLE BALL INJURIES

Pickleball isn’t without the risk of injuries, which, according to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, include sprains and rotator cuff pain, among others. “Some of the pickleball injuries I’ve seen are similar to those sustained playing tennis,” said Samantha Rosenzweig, DPM, podiatrist and a member of the Sports Medicine team at Bergen Medical Associates, which has six offices throughout Bergen County.

“These include lateral ankle pain from side-to-side movements, plantar fasciitis and inferior calcaneal bursitis from pounding on court surfaces, and Achilles tendon pain from lack of stretching.”
