Understanding Wax Therapy in the Indian Context
Hyderabad residents often wake up to stiff joints during winter or monsoon. Paraffin wax therapy provides targeted heat that penetrates deep into joints and soft tissues, preparing them for mobilisation and exercise. Ajuda Hospitals uses medical-grade wax with strict hygiene, aligning with NABH standards.
The therapy suits patients managing arthritis, fractures, or scar tissue while juggling work, household duties, and caregiving. By loosening joints quickly, wax therapy maximises the productivity of each physiotherapy session.
When to Consult Our Wax Therapy Experts
⚠️ Avoid wax therapy and seek medical review if you have:
- ✓ Open wounds, infections, or fresh sutures
- ✓ Uncontrolled diabetes with poor sensation
- ✓ Recent burns or nerve injuries without clearance
Otherwise, book sessions when stiffness delays rehab, manual therapy is uncomfortable, or you need a soothing warm-up before daily chores.
Our Diagnostic Approach
Joint & Soft-Tissue Evaluation
We assess range, swelling, and pain to confirm wax therapy will help.
Safety Screening
Medical history identifies contraindications like vascular disease or neuropathy.
Temperature Planning
We choose temperatures suited to your skin tolerance and condition severity.
Integrated Outcome Tracking
ROM, grip strength, and pain scores are measured after each session to adjust plans.
Treatment Pathways
Wax therapy is the gateway to effective mobilisation. After warming, we perform manual release, stretching, strengthening, and functional training. Scar patients receive splinting advice; arthritis cases blend wax with low-impact exercise and medication reviews.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
Each session begins with hand cleansing and wax immersion via repeated dips or glove wraps. After 10-15 minutes, the wax is removed and therapeutic exercises begin. We teach home routines, safe moisturising, and track progress via tele check-ins.
Technology & Innovation
Ajuda deploys thermostatically controlled paraffin units with antimicrobial additives and individual liners. EMR logs include wax temperature and duration, ensuring future sessions replicate effective settings.
Preventing Complications
Without adequate warm-up, patients risk painful mobilisation, joint contractures, or therapy drop-out. Wax therapy promotes comfort, compliance, and rapid gains, especially for seniors navigating Hyderabad’s climatic fluctuations.
