Concussion Awareness
A concussion is a brain injury that cannot be seen on routine X-rays, CT scans or MRIs. Concussions may affect cognitive abilities and memory functions, along with various other symptoms. Any blow to the head, face or neck area, or a blow to the body causing a sudden jarring of the head could cause a concussion (e.g., a force to the head, falling to the ground, receiving a body-check).
