Indications
For use by adults and adolescents in a medical, clinical or therapeutic setting. Useful in symptomatic
relief of pain caused by medically diagnosed arthritis, bursitis, and chronic joint inflammation. Relaxes
muscles, relieves stiffness and muscle spasms, and stimulates circulation. May be prescribed for post-
fracture or post-dislocation treatment, for sprains, strains, for restriction of motion due to scar tissue,
and for other conditions for which heat is indicated. Commonly used prior to therapeutic exercise and
massage. May be prescribed in certain peripheral vascular diseases. Consult your physician if you
have any questions.
Contraindications
Should not be used in the presence of open cuts or wounds, inflammatory skin conditions, neoplasm
(growths), peripheral vascular disease where circulation is impaired, acute inflammation, or when sensation
of the extremity is reduced or absent (such as in some cases of diabetes). If there is any question about
peripheral vascular disease or decreased sensation of the extremities, consult a physician or physical
therapist before using. Should not be used on areas subject to hemorrhaging or in cases involving
abnormal sensitivity to heat. Discontinue use if dermatitis due to paraffin sensitivity occurs. Discontinue
use if wax feels too hot or cool, which could indicate health problems with the user. Do not allow children
