The Benefits of Paraffin Therapy
Rehabilitation specialists, massage therapists, and the spa industry have endorsed paraffin therapy for its therapeutic properties. Physicians have long known that paraffin therapy is a veritable way to speed healing and soothe muscle and joint pain. In fact, the healing qualities of paraffin wax therapy have been known for centuries.
In modern times, paraffin therapy is commonly used in the treatment of many conditions including the following:
|
- Arthritis
- Bursitis
- Eczema
- Fibromyalgia
- Fibrositis
- Inflammation
- Muscle Spasms
|
- Overworked/Fatigued Muscles
- Psoriasis
- Scar Tissue
- Stiff Joints

Paraffin therapy is also widely used in the treatment of sports related injuries and other conditions where heat therapy and exercise therapy are needed. One of the overlooked benefits of paraffin therapy is that it soothes and moisturizes the skin, opens pores, increases circulation, and promotes a sense of calm in the patient.
Paraffin increases the blood supply to the area being treated and traps moisture from underlying layers of the skin, resulting in rejuvenated and nourished skin. Paraffin therapy reduces pain and stiffness around joints by removing excess fluid from surrounding tissue while providing lubrication.
Paraffin treatments are not recommended for people with the following conditions:
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- Varicose Veins
How Does Paraffin Wax Heat Therapy Work?
The heat from the paraffin opens pores and increases circulation in the skin. This is why paraffin is so beneficial to skin, leaving skin softened and more radiant.
