What causes Concussions?
Concussions can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as sports injuries, falls, motor vehicle accidents, or other traumatic events. Impact to the head or body can result in the brain moving rapidly within the skull, leading to a concussion. During a concussion, the brain undergoes sudden acceleration and deceleration forces, causing it to bounce or twist within the skull. This movement can result in stretching and damaging of brain cells and tissues, disrupting normal brain function.
Symptoms After a Concussion
If you have recently experienced a concussion, look out for these symptoms:
Headache or pressure in the head
Nausea or vomiting
Dizziness or loss of balance
Sensitivity to light or noise
Confusion or difficulty concentrating
Fatigue or drowsiness
