Concussions Are Brain Injuries and We Take Them Seriously

It was not until recently that medical professionals gained a clear understanding of concussions and the impact they can have on a person’s life. Concussions were brushed aside as a temporary ailment for which there were few (if any) treatment options. Today, however, we know much more about the dangers of concussions and their potential long-term consequences if left untreated.

What Is A Concussion?

The Mayo Clinic defines a concussion as a traumatic brain injury that changes the way in which a person’s brain functions. Concussions are typically caused by head trauma, which results in the brain colliding with the sides of the skull. Common symptoms for concussions include:

• Severe headaches
• Confusion or amnesia
• Dizziness or ringing in the ears
• Nausea
• Difficulty concentrating or remembering information

These symptoms can impact a person’s ability to perform his or her job, drive a car or other normal daily activities. More serious symptoms could include:

• Psychological and personality changes
• Depression
