Paraffin Wax Therapy in Las Cruces

Paraffin wax therapy is a gentle, relaxing treatment that brings deep, penetrating heat to painful joints and stiff muscles.

At Smith Wellness, we incorporate this therapeutic modality into comprehensive care plans, particularly for patients dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, and chronic joint conditions affecting the hands or feet. The warmth of medical-grade paraffin wax helps relax the treated area, improve local joint mobility, and prepare the hands or feet for additional care when appropriate.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your paraffin wax session is wonderfully relaxing and is provided as clinically appropriate during your visit. First, the treatment area, usually hands or feet, is cleaned and dried. Then, the body part is dipped into warm, melted paraffin several times to build up therapeutic layers, or the wax may be brushed on. Once coated, the area is wrapped in plastic and covered with towels or mitts to retain the soothing heat while you relax. Finally, the wax is gently peeled away in one piece, leaving your skin soft and moisturized.

Why It Works Alongside Chiropractic Care

Paraffin wax therapy isn’t a standalone treatment at Smith Wellness—it’s part of Dr. Smith’s integrated approach to your care. The deep heat helps relax tight muscles and improve mobility in the treated joints. When combined with Dr. Smith’s expert techniques, paraffin therapy may help your hands or feet move more comfortably, maintain flexibility between visits, and experience more lasting results.
