A member asked:
Can you give yourself a concussion by moving/tilting your head fast against your shoulder as you move it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: because it is not possible to move it that fast. More concerning is any interruption of blood supply to your brain via vertebral arteries.
