Concussion Treatment Physiotherapy in Edmonton, AB
A concussion is a traumatic injury to the brain, generally non-fatal, but it is a critical health concern.
Almost 400,000 concussions are registered in Canada every year. Around 30% of adults and children experience persistent, ongoing problems after a concussion, affecting their quality of life.
One of the most common causes of concussion is a direct impact on the head, neck or face. But concussions can also result from a forceful impact on the body that causes a sudden jerking of the head. While a specific instance of concussion does not usually cause permanent damage, multiple concussions could lead to structural changes in the brain.
Common Risk Factors for Concussions
Athletes participating in contact sports such as football are more likely to experience concussions. Similarly, a lack of proper safety gear or supervision during sports and accidents while riding a car, motorcycle or bicycle could also result in a concussion.
