Concussion
A Concussion is a mild Traumatic Brain Injury, or TBI, that happens when the brain is shaken within the skull due to an impact. Although it is the most common and less serious type of brain injury, it is always prudent to monitor those who have head injuries, as they can have serious symptoms if left unchecked.
What is a Concussion?
A Concussion is a type of Traumatic Brain Injury that can occur after an impact to your head or after a whiplash-type injury that causes your head and brain to shake quickly back and forth.
