sports concussion

A sports concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head or body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. This movement can temporarily disrupt normal brain functions, leading to symptoms like headache, dizziness, confusion, or memory problems. Concussions are common in contact sports and require proper assessment and rest. While most recover fully with time, repeated concussions can cause long-term brain issues. Recognizing symptoms early and allowing the brain to heal is essential for safety and full recovery.
