Badminton Equipment, Physiotherapists, Sports Medicine Physicians, Badminton Injury Videos & Transcripts

We may not think that badminton is a sport where there are a lot of injuries. However, due to the sudden stopping and starting, turning and diving for the shuttlecock, there are a number of common badminton injuries. Badminton injuries can be acute or cumulative, meaning they happen over a period of time.

HealthChoicesFirst has a large selection of badminton injury videos and transcripts to help you, along with local health and wellness providers. Find listings for physiotherapists, sports medicine physicians, and local badminton equipment retailers.

Common badminton injuries include:

Achilles tendonitis - a common problem that causes heel pain
Piriformis syndrome - an injury to the hip usually associated with the deep lunging positions
Bicep tendonitis - inflammation of the area where the bicep muscle meets the shoulder
Calf strain - a tearing of the calf muscle fibres in the lower leg
Clicking wrist - can develop on the ulnar side of your wrist or the ulnar side of the hand
Pelvic misalignment – can be an anterior torsion of one half of the pelvis and a post tertorsion of the other part of the pelvis

While you can't prevent all badminton injuries, you can minimize injury by warming up properly before you hit the court, training and stretching, and eating healthy for optimal performance.

Treatment for Badminton Injuries

If you suffer a badminton injury, you may receive treatment from your family physician, a sports medicine physician, a physiotherapist, or all of them. If you've suffered an acute badminton injury, a sports medicine physician can be useful. Seeing a physiotherapist can help with a number of badminton injuries, especially soft tissue injuries.

A physiotherapist can give you exercises to do at home, and assist you with in-office treatments and exercises. If you suffer from a badminton injury, your physiotherapist may recommend TENS machine treatment, proprioception, hot and cold therapy, ultrasound, and electromagnetic stimulation. If you've suffered a badminton injury, consult your local physiotherapist or sports medicine physician for advice on what badminton injury treatment is best for you.
