Jarring of the brain means a big movement of the brain in any direction which can cause someone to lose alertness or become unconscious.
Jarring of the brain which can lead to a concussion can result from sports activities, vehicle accidents, assault, falls or other direct injury to the head or skull.
Concussion is also known as a jarring injury to the brain and most times people with a jarring injury to the brain remain conscious.
A person who has a jarring of the brain may feel dazed, experience headaches, have visual changes, neck pain or other changes in their cognitive function and may also experience a brain contusion which is a bruise of the brain.
Mild traumatic brain injuries may affect the brain cells temporarily.
And more-serious traumatic brain injuries can result in bruising, torn tissues, bleeding and other physical damage to the brain.
These injuries can result in long-term complications or even death.
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury or TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) that is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth.
Most concussions usually only lasts up to few days or weeks.
Although it sometimes needs emergency treatment and some people can have longer-lasting problems.
An important part of treatment for a concussion is getting plenty of rest, both sleep at night and naps or rest breaks during the day if needed.
A doctor will probably tell you to avoid certain physical activities and sports while you recover and may suggest medicine to take if you have a headache.
