Pickleball is a wildly popular paddle sport that blends tennis, badminton, and ping-pong — basically, it's what happens when sports get together for a potluck and someone brings a wiffle ball.
It's taking off across all age groups thanks to its smaller court, social vibe, and the fact that you don't need Olympic-level fitness to enjoy it. But with its rise, we are also seeing an increase in injuries. Whether you're a casual player or a competitive athlete, Denver Health's Orthopedic Center of Excellence specializes in treating and preventing the most common pickleball-related injuries to players of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to get you back on the court quickly and safely while listening to your needs.
