What is a Concussion?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A concussion is a common form of traumatic brain injury that can affect how your brain works. Concussions may happen because of any blow to the head, face or neck or a blow to the body that jars the head. When such a hit takes place, the brain may twist or move back and forth inside the skull. If this sudden movement is hard enough, the brain can become injured and can cause a variety of signs and symptoms.<\/p>\n\t
