Model: Collagenase-induced Achilles tendinitis

Low-level laser therapy gave the best results in terms of matrix metalloproteinase reduction and recovery of tendon mechanical properties, whereas diclofenac sodium produced only a low protective effect and could adversely affect short-term biochemical and biomechanical properties.
