Prevention of a Mild Brain Injury

The best way to prevent a concussion is to stay safe.  Always wear a helmet when taking part in any high risk sport like biking, skiing, rollerblading or skateboarding.  Be sure to wear a seat belt when driving and avoid talking on the phone or texting while behind the wheel.  Make sure there are no dangers at home.  Add light to dark spaces, fix any cracked or uneven surfaces and cover or add padding to sharp objects.  This is especially true for children.
