A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury and can result in temporary brain dysfunction causing symptoms such as a loss of consciousness, headaches, neck pain, difficulty concentrating and balance problems.

Concussions can happen due to a direct contact to the head or elsewhere on the body with an impulsive force that is translated to the head. These impacts cause the brain to shake, or jiggle inside the skull which can result in temporary changes to how the brain functions. How temporary these changes are is different in each individual case but depends heavily on receiving rapid access to specialist care.
