Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical application of acupuncture, herbal medication, and antibiotic treatment to a patient with a diabetic foot infection. Methods: We treated the patient-who had ulcerations of the 1st, 2nd, and 4th toes and osteomyelitis on the right 1st and 2nd toes-with acupuncture, herbal medication, and antibiotics. We measured the state of this case by changes in his MRI signal and ulceration of his toes. Results: After treatment, the MRI signal indicated that the osteomyelitis had disappeared and the ulceration was diminished. Conclusions: A combination of acupuncture, herbal medication, and antibiotic treatment is effective for treatment of ulceration and osteomyelitis caused by diabetic foot infection.
