What do you think of when you hear the word concussion? Football players colliding or a soccer ball hitting the head of a teen? While many people associate these injuries with athletes, anyone who hits their head can suffer from a concussion.
The most common cause of concussions is a slip or a fall. In fact, among people 65 and older, nearly 80% of emergency department visits for head injuries happen due to a fall. They can also be caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. Head injuries can happen during car accidents or if something falls on you at your job or while working around the house.

When your student athlete is on the field or the court, you’re likely beaming with pride. Parents know the benefits of being involved with sports far outweigh the risks, but unfortunately, injuries do happen. In most cases, children and teens will bounce back from an injury quickly.
