Common TBI Causes
Understanding traumatic brain injury
Brain injury is becoming an increasingly popular subject in medical circles, as professionals try to find ways to protect athletes, football players in particular, from the life-long damage repeated concussions can lead to.
Brain injuries can be sustained in a variety of different ways, but most commonly we see car accidents, falls, and sports injuries as the leading causes of TBI.
A concussion is classified as a mild traumatic brain injury. It is considered mild because the trauma typically only causes temporary brain dysfunction. Unfortunately, recovering from a concussion or other type of brain injury is not always smooth sailing. Some patients notice symptoms of concussion or TBI that linger long after the injury is supposedly healed.
