Concussions

A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury that occurs when the brain is jolted or shaken, often due to a blow to the head or body. This movement can disrupt normal brain function, leading to symptoms like headaches, confusion, dizziness, and memory problems. While most concussions are not life-threatening, they can have serious effects and require proper care. Recovery typically involves rest and avoiding activities that may risk another injury. It's important to take concussions seriously, as repeated injuries can lead to long-term health issues.
