Repetitive Head Injury – Repercussions of Concussions
One of the biggest problems is the cognitive and neurological effects of repetitive head injuries (RHI). Almost every concussion causes some damage to the brain. Regardless of severity, a second brain injury can be life-threatening if experienced within hours or days of a first.
