A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that temporarily affects how your brain functions. It results from a blow or jolt to the head, face, or neck, or a hit to the body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. While concussions are generally not life-threatening, the effects can be complex and impact your daily life, work, and activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are dealing with symptoms after a head injury, seeking timely and professional concussion therapy in Mississauga<\/strong> is an important step towards recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though often called a “mild” injury, a concussion is a serious condition that requires care. It can’t be seen on X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Instead, it involves a disturbance in brain function that leads to a variety of possible physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Common ways concussions occur include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Concussion symptoms can appear immediately, or sometimes hours or days following the injury. If you suspect a concussion in yourself or someone else, look for these signs. Just one symptom is enough to suspect a concussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Immediate Action is necessary if “Red Flags” appear. Call 911 or go to the Emergency Department if you experience: neck pain, double vision, seizures, worsening headache, or increasing confusion.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While rest is the initial step, a structured, active approach to recovery is key for many individuals.
