MRIs and CT scans are built to find structural damage, things like bleeding, swelling, or a tumor. A concussion is a functional injury. It changes how the brain works, not how it looks. That means concussions will not show up on a scan.

New sports science finding: switching playing surfaces may hurt athletes more than the surface itself. A 9-season study found injury rates jumped ~24% in weeks right after athletes changed surfaces vs. weeks on the same one.
Risk was highest when moving onto artificial turf, especially for those less used to it. Your body needs time to adapt to a new surface, don't skip the adjustment period.

"I've decided to use HEADCHECK in my practice to help simplify communication and treatment/return-to-play decisions around concussions in my community," says Owner/Operator and Athletic Therapist Ocean Massey.
New study (Hussain & Malcolm, 2026) reveals teen soccer players prefer learning about concussion safety through TikTok, short lessons, and hands-on demos, not textbooks or lectures.
Researchers asked 20 grassroots players (ages 14-18) how they actually want to be taught.
What they said: they learn from TikTok and Instagram, not the news. They want short lessons (10-30 min) spaced over the season, hands-on demos over PowerPoint, quizzes, and messages from athletes or peers who've had a concussion.
