Discover a startling statistic: one in five high school athletes will suffer from a concussion. Shockingly, half of these concussions go unnoticed and unreported. Today, let’s dive into the world of concussions. A concussion, despite its mild classification, is a serious brain injury that demands attention and treatment. Even seemingly minor concussions can have lasting consequences if not addressed properly. It’s important to note that you don’t need to lose consciousness to experience a concussion. Whiplash injuries can also lead to concussions, meaning a direct blow to the head is not necessary. And contrary to popular belief, isolating yourself in a dark room for days or weeks is not the recommended path towards recovery.
Discover the signs of a concussion – headaches, nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, cognitive challenges, memory loss, balance issues, mood swings, coordination problems, exhaustion, and drowsiness. To ensure a safe return to school and sports and prevent further harm, it’s essential to effectively manage these symptoms.
