Wax Therapy in Noida for Pain Relief & Joint Stiffness

Wax therapy - Paraffin Wax Bath — Superficial Thermal Modality

Wax therapy involves immersing the hand, wrist, or foot in a thermostatically controlled bath of melted paraffin wax (maintained at 42–44°C) using a dip-and-coat technique to build a thick insulating layer. The molten wax conforms intimately to bony contours and joint creases, delivering uniform superficial heat to complex structures that are difficult to treat with flat hot packs. It is one of the most effective superficial heat modalities for small distal joints.
