Did You Know…
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) contributes to about 30% of all injury deaths in the United States. In fact, the CDC estimates that 1.6 – 3.8 million sports and recreation related concussions occur in the United States every year. From 2006 – 2010, falls were the leading cause of TBI, accounting for 40 percent of all TBIs in the U.S. that resulted in an Emergency Room visit, hospitalization or death. The gravity of a TBI can range from severe loss of consciousness or memory loss after an injury to the more common, mild cases, known as Concussions. However, even through Concussions are often times not life threatening, if left untreated, they can leave you with years of pain and suffering.
