Football’s biggest danger isn’t always visible—it’s happening inside the helmets. In this video, Dr. Chris Raynor breaks down the facts about CTE, traumatic brain injuries, and the lifelong risks athletes face on the field.
What you’ll learn:
-How traumatic brain injuries and concussions happen during football games
-Why repeated, smaller hits are a major driver of CTE, not just big collisions
-The science behind CTE and its devastating symptoms
-Why diagnosing CTE is so complicated and only possible after death
-The tough questions facing players, families, and fans about risk, tradition, and the future of football#drchrisraynor #surgeonexplains #internarmy
