Paraffin wax has a very high heat capacity, meaning that it can absorb large amounts of heat, benefitting your body by relieving pain and stiffness. The paraffin bath takes advantage of heat transfer to help with your injuries. When dipping an injured area into the liquid paraffin, it becomes coated in the warm wax and the heat from the wax is then transferred to the affected area, resulting in comfort and pain relief for the injured area. If you have any questions or believe that you could benefit from a paraffin wax treatment, contact our chiropractor in Ronkonkoma at Connetquot Chiropractic.
