Concussions
Sport-Related Concussions
A concussion is a brain injury that disrupts normal brain function. The usual cause is a sudden blow to the head or body that shakes the brain, damages cells and creates chemical changes. Concussions are quite common. Most athletes who suffer a sports-related concussion do not lose consciousness or experience memory loss.
Full recovery from a concussion before returning to sports can reduce the recovery time. Studies have also shown that returning to play too soon can leave an athlete at a higher risk of another concussion or other bone and joint injuries.
