PACT - MED FUNGAL NAIL THERAPY

(Onychomycosis)

20% of the human population has fungal infection. One in five adults under the age of 65 and one in two people over the age of 65 has onychomycosis. Varnishes, conditioners and creams cannot fight nail fungus.

Fortunately, there is already what many people struggling with this unpleasant ailment expect. PACT® solves these problems.

WHAT IT IS ?

PACT® stands for Photo-dynamic Antimicrobial Therapy .It is a new,  innovative and revolutionary approach for treating  fungal toenail infection .

The effectiveness of PACT® treatment is estimated at 99.99%. This is confirmed by clinical studies and many documented examples of nail fungus treatment in podiatry offices and dermatology clinics.

PACT® therapy is completely safe. It is painless and does not cause any side effects. It is an alternative option to laser therapy when it comes to treating nail fungus.

PACT® therapy effectively destroys all gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, even those resistant to antibiotics and mycotic.  It is also safe for people with diabetes and pregnant women.

HOW DOES PACT WORK

The PACT podiatry light system is a medical device that uses a combination of a photosensitive solution and a specific wavelength of light to treat fungal nail infection.

Before commencing treatment, it is important for the nail to be tested.

PACT  uses a special blue dye that makes fungal cells sensitive to light at a specific wavelength.

 

  1. The affected nail is initially stained with PACT Nail Fungus Gel, which is harmless to human cells but selectively targets fungi.
  2. The PACT LED lamp then focuses a high wavelength of light onto the fungus. This destroys 99.9% of the infection and prevents future regrowth.
  3. The treatment is safe, painless, and effective. It doesn’t cause damage to your skin or nail.
  4. The treatment need to be repeated three times within a 7-10 day period.
  5. Follow up session once per month. The therapy takes 6-7 sessions.

Factors causing pain in the calcaneal tubercle area may include:

  • standing work,

  • overweight,

  • excessive tension of the calf muscles,

  • intensive sports without warming up and stretching the foot muscles, Plantar fasciitis is common in runners.

  • excessive pronation of the foot,

  • ill-fitting, uncomfortable footwear,

  • longitudinal flat feet,

  • incorrect positioning of the hindfoot,

  • hollow foot,

  • atrophy of the fat pad.

  • sedentary lifestyle.

Symptoms are a stabbing, non-radiating pain that occurs first thing in the morning in the proximal, plantar part of the foot, which intensifies at the end of the day. The results of the physical examination are often limited to palpation of the proximal plantar fascia attachment in the anteromedial calcaneal region .
