ADVERTISING: Advertorial — What to look for in a concussion?
Dr. Wayne M. Fichter Jr.
“A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body, a fall, or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull.” Most people think that you only get a concussion if you hit your head, not true.

Concussions can range from mild to severe, and athletes can get a concussion even if they are wearing a helmet.
