Concussion
Concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This sudden movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, creating chemical changes in the brain and sometimes stretching and damaging brain cells. Concussions are serious injuries that can affect how the brain works and require proper management for recovery. Here’s an overview of concussions, the symptoms patients may experience, and how physiotherapy can help in the recovery process.
