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 improves the bodyâs functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites--commonly referred to as acupuncture points, or acupoints. The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin.
