NOUN
A type of traumatic brain injury—or TBI—caused by a bump, blow or
hit that makes the head and brain move rapidly back and forth. The
sudden movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in
the skull. This can create chemical changes in the brain and
sometimes stretch and damage brain cells.

HOW IS A CONCUSSION TREATED?
SCREEN TIME
LABOR
DRIVING
Workers ready to get back to work may struggle with the patience and time needed to heal fully.
A TOTAL-BODY SOLUTION IS ESSENTIAL FOR HEALING
Brain injury can leave lasting physical and mental impacts. Problems can be cognitive or physical such as3:
WEAKNESS
MEMORY LOSS
TROUBLE COMMUNICATING
Emotional and mental issues are also a common result of brain injuries, and these challenges can be the hardest to face. Stressors can delay healing and cause re-injury if the person returns to work before they are mentally and physically ready.
