Treatment Description

Paraffin therapy works by immersing the affected body part (usually hands, feet, or elbows) in warm paraffin wax, which provides deep heat to soothe the skin and joints, promoting relaxation and healing.

What It Includes

The treatment involves dipping the affected area into warm paraffin wax, which is then allowed to harden before being removed. It may be combined with massage or exercise. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Paraffin Therapy Used For?

Paraffin therapy is effective for treating conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, muscle stiffness, hand and foot injuries, post-surgery rehabilitation, and skin conditions like dryness or eczema.

Arthritis

Reduces joint pain and stiffness in conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis by providing soothing heat.

Joint Stiffness

Improves flexibility and mobility in stiff joints, particularly in the hands, wrists, and feet.

Muscle Tension

Relieves muscle tightness and promotes relaxation by increasing blood flow and soothing soft tissues.

Post-Injury Recovery

Aids in recovery from sprains, strains, or other injuries by improving circulation and reducing discomfort.

Dry or Cracked Skin

Provides deep moisturization, improving the skin's condition and preventing cracking, especially in conditions like eczema.

Tendonitis

Reduces inflammation and promotes healing in tendons by delivering therapeutic heat to the affected area.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Joint Stiffness

Without paraffin therapy, stiffness in joints, especially in hands and feet, may remain, hindering flexibility and daily tasks.

Chronic Pain

Failing to manage joint or muscle pain can lead to prolonged discomfort, particularly for conditions like arthritis or chronic injuries.

Reduced Circulation

Lack of heat therapy may result in poor blood flow to affected areas, slowing healing and increasing the risk of further complications.

Limited Mobility

Without treatment, joint or muscle tightness may progress, reducing the range of motion and affecting physical activities.

Increased Risk of Skin and Tissue Issues

Untreated areas may develop dryness or further complications due to lack of heat and moisture benefits provided by paraffin therapy.
