If you've just experienced a concussion — or you're still searching for answers — these are the questions we hear most often. You are not alone, and there is a path forward.
A concussion can occur after a direct blow to the head or the body, a fall, a car accident, a sports injury, a blast injury, or any event that causes the brain to rapidly accelerate or decelerate inside the skull. You do not need to lose consciousness to have a concussion. In fact, most people do not.
Common symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, sensitivity to light or sound, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, visual changes, and feeling "off" or unlike yourself.
