A Little Bit About Me

Dr. Alex Mahyar is a dedicated chiropractor and holistic health practitioner known for his compassionate approach, diagnostic precision, and commitment to helping patients achieve long-term wellness. With a deep passion for natural healing and comprehensive patient care, he has built a reputation for delivering exceptional results — especially in cases that are complex, chronic, or considered “difficult” by traditional standards.

Dr. Alex began his career by founding and operating Atlanta Chiropractic Group, where he developed a thriving practice centered on evidence-informed chiropractic techniques and integrative therapeutic modalities. His clinical toolbox includes Diversified, Thompson, and Activator methods, alongside advanced supportive therapies such as laser therapy, neuromuscular and deep tissue massage, cupping, electro-muscle stimulation, therapeutic ultrasound, and disc decompression. His work focused heavily on restoring neuromusculoskeletal balance, optimizing nervous system function, and addressing pain at its source rather than masking symptoms.

In time, his journey led him to CTC Integrated Healthcare, originally founded by his close friend and mentor, the late Dr. Todd Hortman. Inspired by Dr. Hortman’s legacy of heart-centered healing, Dr. Alex chose to integrate his own practice with CTC — joining forces to strengthen the mission of serving patients with integrity, excellence, and compassion. Today, he is a central figure in helping expand CTC’s reach across three clinic locations, offering patients greater convenience without sacrificing the personalized touch that defines his care.

Dr. Alex is known among his patients not only for his skill, but also for his warmth, empathy, and attentiveness. He believes that healing is a partnership — one built on trust, education, and the shared goal of restoring vitality. His clinical philosophy centers on empowering individuals to understand their bodies, reclaim their health, and maintain long-term wellness as a lifestyle.

Whether he is treating spinal dysfunction, chronic pain, postural challenges, disc issues, sports injuries, or stress-related conditions, Dr. Alex brings his full presence and expertise to every session. His dedication has earned him a long history of referrals, strong patient relationships, and a practice that has grown organically through word of mouth.

Outside of clinical work, Dr. Alex continues to study advanced chiropractic and integrative therapies, staying current with emerging technologies and methodologies that support whole-body healing. He is deeply committed to ensuring that CTC Integrated Healthcare remains a center of excellence, innovation, and heartfelt patient care for years to come.

I have been going to CTC for years now along with my family. Dr. Hortman not only saved my husband from back surgery but he has kept our family feeling healthy and happy as well. The staff is like family and we recommend CTC to all.
