The Story of CTC’s Expansion: Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Todd Hortman

For more than three decades, CTC Integrated Healthcare has stood as a place of healing, hope, and holistic transformation. Today, as our practice expands into three locations across the Atlanta area, we recognize that this growth is not just a milestone — it is a continuation of a powerful legacy created by one man whose passion, vision, and love for people shaped everything we are: Dr. Todd Hortman.

A Legacy Built on Heart and Healing

Dr. Todd founded Chiropractic Transformation Center over 30 years ago with a simple yet profound mission: help people heal naturally, treat patients like family, and approach every person with compassion and respect. He believed deeply in the body’s ability to heal when given the right support, and he dedicated his life to empowering others to reclaim their health.

Patients who knew Dr. Todd often describe him with the same words:
warm, genuine, gifted, and deeply caring.

He made every patient feel seen. He made every staff member feel valued. And he built a practice rooted in love and service — a foundation strong enough to last generations.

When Dr. Todd passed away, the loss was felt not only by the CTC family, but by the countless individuals whose lives he touched. Yet even in grief, something extraordinary happened: his mission lived on, carried forward by those who knew him, worked with him, and loved him.

Carrying the Torch Forward

Among those committed to preserving and expanding Dr. Todd’s legacy is Dr. Alex Mahyar, a longtime friend of Dr. Todd and the founder of Atlanta Chiropractic Group. Their friendship, shared vision, and aligned philosophies made the next chapter of CTC both natural and meaningful.

As CTC and Atlanta Chiropractic Group came together, the goal was clear: honor Dr. Todd by building upon what he started.

It wasn’t just about merging clinics — it was about merging hearts, missions, and communities. Combining teams, resources, experience, and energy allowed the practice to grow in a way that reflected the spirit of Dr. Todd’s original purpose: helping as many people as possible live healthier, happier lives.

Three Locations — One Unified Purpose

Today, CTC Integrated Healthcare proudly operates from three locations, each carrying forward the same standard of compassion, excellence, and holistic care.

This expansion represents more than physical growth:

It reflects the trust patients continue to place in us.
It reflects the dedication of our team.
And most importantly, it reflects Dr. Todd’s enduring impact.

Every new location is another opportunity to help someone heal. Every new patient is another life touched by Dr. Todd’s legacy. And every step we take forward honors the foundation he built.

Honoring the Past, Serving in the Present, Building the Future

As we look ahead, we remain grounded in the principles that shaped CTC from the very beginning:

Treat every person with kindness.
Lead with integrity and compassion.
Practice with skill, intention, and purpose.
And always remember why we do what we do.

Dr. Todd may no longer be with us, but his influence is felt in every treatment room, every practitioner, and every patient interaction. His legacy guides our decisions, inspires our growth, and reminds us daily of the power of healing.

A Message to Our Community

To our long-time patients who loved Dr. Todd: thank you for continuing this journey with us.
To our new patients: welcome to a story much bigger than a clinic.
To our team: your dedication keeps this mission alive.
And to Dr. Todd: thank you for lighting the path we’re honored to walk.

CTC Integrated Healthcare will always be a place where healing happens, where people are cared for deeply, and where one man’s legacy continues to expand — not just in size, but in purpose.
