The diode laser was used in treating athletic pain. Neural, muscular and periosteal pain resulting from baseball, tennis, and golf were treated with immediate effects, although the pain usually re-surfaced 3 to 7 days later. Repeated treatments are desirable. When treating athletes, their strength, the nature of the sport, competition, and the burden on their muscles and bones must be kept in mind. Irradiation time can be drastically lengthened and overall treatment time reduced due to their strength, thus making therapy the day before a meet most advantageous. Their bodily balance must also be restored.
