Hyperbaric therapy was initially used to treat decompression sickness common in scuba divers, but it is now used to improve or heal multiple conditions, including diabetic wounds. Since the human body is exposed to 100% oxygen at a particular pressure, it helps unlock the body’s natural healing capabilities, ensuring that diabetic wounds heal faster.
Bottom Line
The best way to avoid diabetes and its complications is to nip it in the bud! Minute changes in lifestyle can make a huge difference in preventing or managing diabetes and wounds. Wound healing is a multistep process involving various physiological systems of the body. The altered physiology of the body in diabetes causes the healing of wounds in patients with diabetes to get delayed. Even small scratches in diabetes patients can lead to amputation due to complications in wound healing. Hence, early detection and extra care of these wounds are necessary for faster and more adequate healing.
