Ozone Therapy

How is ozone therapy useful in diabetic foot management and in what areas is ozone therapy useful?

Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism and of the circulation. Chronic metabolic irregularities linked to poor circulatory perfusion and nerve damage can affect a number of organ systems, including skin tissues. The conditions include infected wounds, skin ulcers and gangrene. These wounds, in the context of diabetes, are notoriously difficult to resolve. Healing resistance is thus a well recognized element of frustration in their clinical care.
In case of diabetic ulcer conditions, multiple factors play into healing resistance. Among them are circulatory impairments, neurological deficits, tissue injury, and immunological compromise. A central factor is the proliferation of infectious microorganisms that, by the variety of their families, their toxin-producing capacities, and their resistance to antibiotics, offer daunting obstacles to standard treatment regimes.

Ozone therapy is useful in following areas:
- Circulatory disorders: microangiopathies, stroke, angina, varicose veins.
- Infections and inflammation: herpes, hepatitis, burns, non healing wounds.
- Chronic diseases: diabetes mellitus and its complications, hypertension, parkinson’s disease.
- Cancers
- Asthma, Sinusitis, Allergic Rhinitis.
- Rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome.
- Osteoarthritis knee joint, back aches.
- Dermatology acne, herpes, burns, psoriasis, eczema.
- Gynecological infections.

Major benefits are noted in:
- treatment of circulatory disorders.
- cerebro-vascular accidents.
- varicose veins.
- microangiopathies.

How ozone helps?
- Ozone has powerful bactericidal, fungicidal and virostatic propertis widely used in disinfecting infected wounds.
- Ozone attacks PUFA in the bacterial cell membrane causing alteration of the membrane. It increases the porosity leading to cell damage, cell rupture and death. Indirectly, by activating macrophages and T cells, it leads to antibody production; effectively killing bacteria.
- Ozone in higher concentration attacks fungi.
- Ozone increases blood circulation and tissue oxygenation.
- Ozone increases and activates body’s own antioxidants and radical scavengers.
- Ozone helps in healing and repairs.
