đ§ What Causes a Concussion?
A concussion happens when a sudden impact or jolt causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. This movement can damage brain cells and affect normal function â even if thereâs no visible injury.
Common Causes:
Car accidents â Sudden stops or head impact.
Falls â Especially hitting your head on a hard surface.
Sports injuries â Contact sports like football, soccer, or basketball.
Workplace accidents â Slips, trips, or equipment-related blows.
Physical altercations â Any forceful strike to the head or body.
Even mild concussions can lead to headaches, dizziness, confusion, or memory problems, so early evaluation is crucial.
If youâve been in an accident or hit your head recently â get checked right away.
