January is National Winter Sports Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Awareness Month, a time to highlight the risks of TBIs in winter sports and emphasize the importance of prevention and early diagnosis. 🧠🩻❄️
We recognize the critical role that advanced imaging plays in assessing and managing TBIs. Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, playing ice hockey, or snowmobiling, understanding the risks and taking precautions can help you enjoy your favorite winter activities safely.
Winter sports are exhilarating but come with inherent risks. Slippery surfaces, high speeds, and unpredictable weather conditions can lead to falls or collisions that may result in head injuries. TBIs range from mild concussions to severe brain trauma and can have lasting effects on cognitive, physical, and emotional health. Symptoms of TBIs include headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory loss, nausea, and mood changes. If you or a loved one experience these symptoms after a winter sports accident, it’s crucial to seek medical attention promptly.
