What is a Concussion? Causes, Symptoms & Breakthrough Treatment Options
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that occurs when a sudden impact, jolt, or blow causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. This movement can lead to chemical changes in the brain and, in some cases, damage brain cells. While concussions are often labeled as "mild," their effects can be anything but—ranging from temporary symptoms to long-term cognitive, emotional, and physical challenges.
