The Detrimental Consequences of Concussions

A concussion is a traumatic injury to the brain, generally non-fatal, albeit a critical health concern. Apparently, almost 400,000 cases of concussions are registered in Canada every year. On top of it, around 30% of adults and children could experience persistent problems after a concussion, affecting their quality of life. One of the most common causes of concussion refers to a direct impact on the head, neck or face. Concussions can also result from forceful impact on the body, which can cause sudden jerking of the head. While a specific instance of concussion cannot cause permanent damage, multiple concussions could lead to structural changes in the brain.
