Chiropractor for Pickleball Players in Solana Beach
Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America. So is the list of pickleball injuries we treat. We are here to keep you on the court.
What Pickleball Players Need
Pickleball is deceptively demanding. The lateral movements, the sudden stops, the overhead serves, the reaction-based footwork. It uses every joint in your body in ways most people do not train for.
Dr. Lisel works with pickleball players at every level, from new-to-the-sport adults to weekly tournament players. She treats the common injuries (Achilles, knee, shoulder, low back, tennis elbow), addresses the imbalances that come from the dominant side, and helps you stay on the court longer with fewer setbacks.
Common Issues We Treat in Pickleball Players
Achilles tendinopathy and calf strains
Pickleball knee (patellofemoral pain, meniscus issues)
Pickleball elbow (lateral epicondylitis)
Rotator cuff strain on overhead serves
Low back pain from lateral movement
Hip pain on lunges and reaches
Wrist and forearm overuse
Recovery and tune-ups between weekly play
What a Pickleball Visit Looks Like
We screen your movement, your dominant-side asymmetries, and your specific complaint. We adjust the joints that are stuck, release the soft tissue that is overworking, and give you specific homework that fits a pickleball week.
For most pickleball players: 1 to 2 visits per week for a few weeks to clear an issue, then a maintenance visit every 3 to 4 weeks.
Who This Is For
New pickleball players (especially those new to lateral sports)
Weekly tournament players
Aging athletes who came to pickleball from another sport
Players returning from a setback
Anyone who wants to play this sport for the next two decades without breaking down
