Indications
For use by adults and adolescents in a medical, clinical, therapeutic, or home 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 or those with severe physical disabilities to use the device.
