 ## What is a Concussion?

A concussion results from a mild traumatic brain injury, often caused by a forceful blow to the head or body, leading to temporary disruption of normal brain function. While a single concussion usually doesn't cause permanent damage, multiple incidents can result in structural changes in the brain. Although not typically life-threatening, the effects of a concussion can be severe, emphasizing the importance of prompt medical attention.
