Pickleball Nation, are we letting style outplay safety? With the sport exploding—over 19 million players now—doctors are seeing a record number of injuries, especially among passionate retirees and weekend warriors. The real rivalry? Fashion-forward players vs. proper gear. Docs say matching your paddle to your shoes might look cool, but it’s leading to more Achilles ruptures and knee flares than ever. Remember: warm up, wear court shoes, and keep your eye on the ball—not just your outfit! #Sports #Pickleball #InjuryPrevention
