Sport-Related Concussions

A concussion is an injury to the brain that commonly occurs in sports. There are an estimated three to four million sport-related concussions that occur in athletes each year.

Most concussions do not result in being knocked out or losing consciousness. Mark Halstead, MD, discusses sport-related concussions.
