CONCUSSION/ Traumatic Brain Injury/Mild TBI
What is a Concussion?
The CDC defines concussion- “as a type of traumatic brain injury—or 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.”
“mild?”
Why
Medical providers may describe a concussion as a “mild” brain injury because concussions are usually not life-threatening.However, the effects of a concussion are serious and may become worse if not treated properly.
