Recover faster with non-invasive injury treatments for pickleball players of all levels in Los Angeles.
Pickleball is a sport that’s accessible to players of all ages and skill levels, but the quick movements, sudden pivots, and repetitive swings can place significant stress on muscles and joints. Over time, this repetitive play can lead to a variety of injuries and wear-and-tear conditions.
Whether you’re new to pickleball or competing in tournaments, injuries can occur. If a pickleball-related injury is affecting your performance, Dr. Sheps, D.C., in Brentwood, Los Angeles, offers expert care using manual and non-invasive therapies to treat everything from tennis elbow to knee and plantar pain.
Pickleball injuries typically result from repetitive motions, sudden changes in direction, poor technique, improper equipment, inadequate warm-up, and fatigue. These factors commonly lead to strains, sprains, joint pain, and overuse injuries in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, knees, and ankles.
Pickleball injuries can impact the upper body from racket use and the lower body from quick lateral movements, and if left untreated, they may worsen, limiting activity and training.
Every body is different, so injuries can affect each person in unique ways. After an initial evaluation, Dr. Sheps will develop a personalized treatment plan for your pickleball injury, which may include one or more targeted therapies. As a certified McKenzie practitioner, he also provides at-home care techniques to support and enhance your recovery.

“Dr. Sheps and his laser are miracle workers. I sprained my mcl skiing a few years back and went directly to Dr. Sheps for six consecutive days for laser treatments. I skied Jackson Hole ten days after my accident. Literal miracle. I’ve recommended him to so many people over the years and to a person, they’ve all made huge strides that PT alone just can’t do. I think the highest recommendation is that I drive from East Hollywood across the 405 just to visit him. He’s that good.”
