Because your body can't store alcohol and must metabolize it right away, other metabolic processes suffer. Your body won't metabolize sugars and fats as efficiently during the metabolism of alcohol, and drinking heavily can cause your metabolism to slow. This can contribute to weight gain, as can the empty calories found in alcohol.
But, after you are released to rest and recuperate, acupuncture is the perfect therapy to augment recovery, reduce pain, and speed healing time. Common traumatic injuries that acupuncture can treat are: shoulder rotator cuff tears and strains. wrist sprains and strains. ankle sprains and strains.
Acupuncture increases circulation to the tissues that are causing the sciatica pain, helping the muscles to relax, the tissue to repair and the pain to subside. Good circulation to injured areas helps to nourish the tissues and also removes pain-causing substances like lactic acid and eliminates muscle fatigue.
