A concussion happens when the brain is rapidly jolted or shaken inside the skull. That can occur from:

A minor-looking hit to the head
A whiplash-type movement (even without direct head contact)
Falls, sports impacts, car accidents, or sudden stops

It’s not about how hard the hit looks, but how the force affects the brain. That’s why people can have concussion symptoms even after what seems like a small impact.

Acupuncture is more than a treatment for sore muscles—it influences how your entire system responds to stress, pain, and movement.

By targeting key points, acupuncture can help:
• Improve circulation
• Reduce inflammation
• Support nervous system regulation
• Encourage deeper relaxation and recovery

Many patients notice not just reduced tension, but improved sleep, decreased stress, and better overall mobility.

It’s a gentle, evidence-informed option we love incorporating into care when appropriate. If you’re curious whether acupuncture could support your rehab or wellness goals, we’re happy to chat.

Dizziness may be common, but the causes behind it can be far more complex than most people realise.
At Altea Physiotherapy, we see firsthand how often vestibular conditions go unrecognised—impacting balance, confidence, and day-to-day function.
Our vestibular assessments look beyond “just dizziness.” We evaluate the full system:
🌀 Inner ear function
👀 Ocular control
🧠 Neurological processing
💆‍♂️ Cervical contributions
😴 Sleep, migraine, and anxiety-related factors
Understanding the why behind dizziness is key to effective treatment.
If you’re curious about vestibular rehab or want to learn more, our team is always here to help.

Altea Physiotherapy + Wellness in Prince George, offers physiotherapy, acupuncture, concussion & vestibular rehab, counselling, kinesiology and more for Northern BC. Book online!

🌿 It’s not about pushing harder — it’s about moving with purpose.

Small, consistent actions like walking, stretching, or guided exercise can have a big impact on mental health.

⭐If you’re unsure where to start, a kinesiologist can help create a plan that fits your lifestyle, goals, and comfort level — helping you move with confidence and consistency.
