Wine About It: How Alcohol Affects the Musculoskeletal System
Whether you are an athlete celebrating a post-game victory or just gearing-up for the holidays, it seems that alcohol creeps into our daily lives. While for some of us the short stint of drinking has little impacts, alcohol can prove to be a major hurdle for those undergoing rehabilitation. Alcohol abuse and addiction historically has been seen as a “medical” issue; however, data now show that rehabilitation professionals must start being aware of alcohol’s effects for optimal musculoskeletal outcomes.
We will examine the literature on how alcohol affects: inflammation, muscle and tendon healing, bone health, sports performance, and recovery. Practical applications for rehabilitation professionals will be discussed and resources for further facilitation will be provided. Those working in outpatient, sports, athletic training, and post-surgical settings will find the content important and relevant.
Join us for a 1-hour webinar where you will learn:
Define low, moderate, or high weekly alcohol consumption
Explain the rising rates of alcohol use disorder and its impact on select musculoskeletal diseases
Outline several direct and indirect mechanisms of inflammation that alcohol poses
Detail the impact of alcohol on tendon health and rehab outcomes
Explain the impact of alcohol on joint / bone health and rehab outcomes
Provide examples of how alcohol impacts sports performance and recovery
List at least 1 alcohol-related resource for both healthcare provider and for patients
