What Is a Concussion?

Concussions are a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump or blow to the head that results in the brain moving rapidly back and forth within the skull. This movement can cause brain damage. Concussions are often seen in auto injuries or sports-related injuries. Immediate assessment and treatment by a doctor is crucial, yet symptoms can linger for weeks.
