Cover Story
By JoAnne Sommers
wo years after she was thrown from a
horse and suffered her third concussion,
Brin Snelling was still plagued by
headaches, dizziness, nausea and fatigue.
TShe couldn’t work, had trouble reading
and became disoriented easily, especially in crowds.
She sought help from a variety of healthcare
professionals: shortly after the accident, an
optometrist said her eyes were fine structurally;
she also saw physiotherapists, chiropractors and
neuro-chiropractors.
“They helped me somewhat but didn’t resolve my
problems. I was working for a tech company in
San Francisco, doing real estate, but things were so
difficult that I had to return to Oakville to live with
my parents.”
