Wax therapy, also known as paraffin wax treatment, is a form of heat therapy used to soothe and heal various musculoskeletal conditions. It involves immersing the affected body part in melted paraffin wax, creating a warm, protective coating that helps to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility. The gentle heat from the wax also facilitates increased blood flow, aiding in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the injured area. Wax therapy is commonly utilized in physical therapy to relieve symptoms of arthritis, joint stiffness, and muscle spasm.
