May 23 2025
Pickleball has exploded in popularity across Southwest Florida—and for good reason. It’s fast-paced, social, and a great way to stay active. But like any sport, it comes with its risks—especially for your feet and ankles. If you’ve been feeling the pressure after a game, you’re not alone.
Common Pickleball Injuries We See:
1. Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain):
That stabbing pain in your heel after a game? It could be plantar fasciitis—a common overuse injury from repetitive stress on your arch and heel. Court surfaces and quick movements can aggravate this condition.
2. Ankle Sprains:
All it takes is one misstep during a fast volley. Lateral movement, pivoting, or landing awkwardly can easily result in a rolled or sprained ankle, keeping you off the court for weeks if not treated properly.
3. Achilles Tendonitis:
The Achilles tendon works hard during gameplay. Overuse or poor warmups can lead to inflammation and pain, especially in older athletes or those returning after a break.
4. Stress Fractures:
Persistent foot pain, especially on the top of the foot or around the toes, may indicate a stress fracture. These tiny cracks in the bone develop over time and need professional evaluation.
Don’t Ignore the Pain
Many players try to “walk it off” or rely on over-the-counter inserts or painkillers. While that might bring temporary relief, untreated foot issues can lead to chronic pain or long-term damage.
At Family Foot & Leg Center, our experienced podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating sports-related foot and ankle conditions. We not only help you recover quickly but also guide you on injury prevention strategies so you can get back to the game stronger than ever.
How We Can Help:
* Custom orthotics and shoe recommendations
* Sports injury rehab and physical therapy
* Minimally invasive treatments
* Surgical care, when necessary
Stay in the Game—Pain-Free!
Whether you’re a casual player or a competitive pickleball enthusiast, your feet deserve expert care. If you’re feeling discomfort after a match or suspect an injury, don’t wait.
