A Class 3B laser is a medical therapeutic laser commonly used in physiotherapy, sports medicine, pain clinics, and rehabilitation. Here’s what it means for you in practical terms:
🌟 What a 3B laser does
• Delivers targeted light energy to injured or painful tissues
• Helps reduce pain and inflammation
• Speeds up healing by improving blood flow and cellular repair
• Penetrates deeper than low-level (Class 2/3A) lasers, but is still non-surgical
🩺 Conditions it’s commonly used for
• Muscle strains and tears
• Tendon injuries (tennis elbow, Achilles tendonitis)
• Joint pain (knee, shoulder, neck, back)
• Arthritis pain
• Sports injuries
• Post-surgical tissue healing
⏱ What treatment is like
• Sessions usually last 5–15 minutes
• Treatment is painless (you may feel mild warmth)
• No injections or medications
• Often used alongside physiotherapy or rehab exercises
✅ Benefits for you
• Faster pain relief
• Reduced need for pain medication
• Quicker return to normal activity
• Non-invasive and safe when used by trained professionals
⚠️ Safety note
• Protective eyewear is worn during treatment
• Not used directly over eyes, cancerous lesions, or during pregnancy on the abdomen unless medically cleared
📌 Bottom line
Having a 3B laser available in the clinic means you now have access to a more advanced, effective pain-relief and healing option that can enhance your recovery.
