A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) happens when a bump, blow, jolt, or blast causes the brain to move inside the skull, disrupting how it functions. TBIs can occur from falls, car accidents, sports injuries, or blast/overpressure exposure.
TBIs range from mild (concussions) to severe, and symptoms aren’t always immediate or visible on scans. Headaches, brain fog, mood changes, sleep problems, and sensitivity to light or noise are all common.
“Mild” does not mean insignificant. TBIs can have lasting effects, especially when injuries are repeated.
Education is the first step toward healing, rehabilitation, and empowerment.
