* More about a Concussion

* A concussion is usually a mild traumatic brain injury that is the result of a blunt force trauma . It is important to note that a penetrating trauma can also cause concussions . You get a concussion when you get a hard blow to the head , which is usually hard enough to make your brain bounce inside your skull . The blow can lead to bruising , contusions , and even bleeding . It is important to receive concussion treatment and undergo different tests to confirm you do not have any serious bleeding . You should seek medical attention immediately after sustaining a head injury – you usually recover in a much better way when you receive treatment within the first 24 hours of injury .
