Paraffin Wax Therapy for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Posted by No Carpal Tunnel Blog
The HoMedics Paraspa Plus Paraffin Bath is a low cost hot paraffin wax therapy bath that I use. I learn about the usefulness of these wax baths in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome hand therapy, used them at their facility, and decided to buy my own. TherabathPRO makes a professional grade model that my hand therapy clinic has. They are helpful in treating RSI or carpal tunnel syndrome.
I use it about 3 times a day for hand therapy for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or RSI and it helps warm my hands and improve circulation and muscle extensibility. It is messy, so try to keep some material to protect your counter tops, around the paraffin wax bath unit.
A lot cost paraffin refill is the Therabath Refill Paraffin Wax – ScentFree, 6 lbs helps for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Also consider doing Icing for your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
You probably use a computer. RSI Warrior is a software package I have used to fight Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or RSI. It brings up rest break reminders, stretches, ergonomics tips, and automatic mouse clicking. Try the Free Demo

Paraffin wax is known for retaining a great amount of heat as it has a good absorbing power. When one uses a paraffin wax bath, the wax goes through a phase change and starts melting and becomes. The paraffin then takes the shape of a coating on the dipped part of the hands or feet. This way the heat present in the paraffin bath is transferred to the affected area where you are experiencing pain.
