"textContent": "Taking a punishing hit on the football field or soccer pitch; having your head jostle around during a car accident; experiencing a fall from a ladder.

While their severity can fluctuate based on a number of factors, more than half go unreported. And their elusiveness to medical imaging makes proper diagnosis and recovery all the more important.",
