Sports Concussion & Management

A sports concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a sudden impact or jolt to the head or body that results in rapid movement of the brain inside the skull. This disruption can temporarily affect brain function, leading to a variety of symptoms that impact physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. Concussions are common in contact sports such as football, soccer, basketball, and hockey, but can occur in any athletic activity.
