Also called: Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
A concussion is a form of mild traumatic injury to the brain that is the result of a blow to the head or a hit to the body that causes your head to hit something with so much force that your brain shakes inside your skull.
Concussions are sometimes described as “mild,” however, any level of concussion is a serious issue and should not be treated lightly. Even if it is not considered “life-threatening,” a concussion could lead to serious side effects.
