September 18th is National Concussion Awareness Day and with football season underway, it's an important time to talk about concussion awareness and safety. At Moody Neurorehabilitation Institute, we understand that every brain injury is unique and that the right support can make a meaningful difference in recovery.
Concussions can happen to anyone, on or off the field. They may result from sports, falls, motor vehicle crashes, bicycle or skateboard accidents, workplace injuries, or other impacts that cause the brain to move rapidly inside the skull.
Common signs and symptoms may include headache, dizziness, confusion, difficulty concentrating, sensitivity to light or noise, nausea, balance problems, and changes in mood or behavior.
Recognizing the signs and seeking appropriate medical care can help support a safe return to daily activities, school, work, and recreation. Know the signs. Protect your brain.
