Wax Therapy (Paraffin Wax Therapy) in Physiotherapy

Wax Therapy, also known as Paraffin Wax Therapy, is a highly effective deep heat treatment commonly used in physiotherapy to relieve pain, reduce stiffness, and improve joint mobility—especially in the hands and feet. It involves dipping the affected area into warm, medical-grade molten paraffin wax, which coats the skin and provides soothing therapeutic heat.

At ProHealth Bone & Joint Speciality Clinic, wax therapy is used as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program under the guidance of Dr. Suman Gupta (Physiotherapist & Podiatrist) and our experienced physiotherapy team.

How Wax Therapy Works

The paraffin wax is heated to a safe temperature (typically around 47–51°C) and applied in multiple layers over the painful joint or muscle. Once wrapped and insulated, the wax retains heat for 20–30 minutes, allowing deep penetration into the soft tissues and joints.

After treatment, the joints are more responsive to stretching, exercises, and manual therapy.
