Some sports are super competitive at the high school and collegiate level, whereas other youth sports are more for fun. Softball is one of the middle-of-the-road sports that can go either way. Lots of youth leagues, high school teams, and even adult recreational teams exist for softball. There\u2019s even an NCAA Division 1 Softball League and the Women\u2019s Professional Fastpitch, which is the official professional softball league in the US. While these aren\u2019t quite as popular as some other professional sports leagues, the people who play in them give their heart and soul. This unfortunately sometimes results in softball injuries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be fooled \u2013 the game may be called \u201csoftball\u201d but the injuries sustained by softball players are anything but. Some of the most common injuries in softball include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rotator cuff injuries<\/li><li>Medial ulnar collateral ligament injuries (Tommy John)<\/li><li>Shoulder pain (Dead Arm syndrome)<\/li><li>Elbow pain<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although less common, there are also other injuries softball players tend to get, including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wrist tendonitis<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nlphysio.com\/physical-therapy-services\/elbow-wrist-hand-pain-relief\/\">Pitcher\u2019s elbow<\/a><\/li><li>ACL, LCL, MCL, PCL injuries or tears<\/li><li>Concussions&nbsp;<\/li><li>Ankle sprains<\/li><li>Low back pain<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Softball is intense. It involves a lot of running, fast directional changes, quick stops, and loads of power to pitch the ball, and a ton of wrist mobility for catchers. Regardless of whether you\u2019re playing at the youth or collegiate level, it\u2019s absolutely essential to play the game safely so you stay protected against softball injuries.
