Concussion care

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, jolt, or blow to the head. Concussions occur frequently, but often go unrecognized as people tend to brush them off as just “a bump on the head.”

While many people associate concussions with sport injuries, they are more often caused by falls, motor vehicle accidents and being struck by an object.

The vast majority (80%) of concussion-related symptoms resolve on their own within two or three weeks. However, if they persist, you should seek treatment from a healthcare professional with training in concussion management.
