Years Serving Patients

"I have had chronic pain for over 10 years and I have been to numerous doctors who told me 'science is not advanced enough yet to help you.' After feeling completely defeated with the answers from doctors, I decided to go to Dr. Powell. After just a few visits, I was amazed at the results."

— Lydia Suggs, Patient for 3+ years

Why BrainFirst

It Became Personal

I've been a chiropractor for over 25 years. I opened my practice in Tifton in 2002, and for a long time, I thought I was doing everything I could to help my patients.

Then it became personal.

In 2020, my son suffered his fifth concussion during his freshman year of college. He was a math and engineering major—sharp, driven, full of potential. After that injury, he couldn't do simple math in his head... for over a year. He had to change his entire major.

I started searching for answers. Real answers.

Then in 2023, my daughter began experiencing multiple health problems. Doctors discovered a benign brain tumor. Miraculously, the tumor disappeared—but all of her symptoms remained. No one could explain why. No one could help.

That's when everything changed for me.

Over the next two years, I attended more than a dozen advanced seminars. I earned certifications in functional neurology, quantum neurology, neuroemotional techniques, and neurofeedback therapy. I studied with the best minds in brain-based healthcare. And I developed the 5-System Brain Wellness Protocol that we use today.

"I became a different kind of doctor because my own family needed a different kind of care. Now I bring that same level of dedication to every patient who walks through our doors."
