MEET YOUR CHIROPRACTOR
Dr. Todd Stranahan, D.C.
Firefighter. Spine fracture survivor. Summa Cum Laude graduate. Father. Austin’s chiropractor for over 20 years.
“Chiropractic Saved My Life”
Most chiropractors chose the profession because they were interested in healthcare. Dr. Todd chose it because chiropractic literally saved his life.
While studying at Parker University, Dr. Todd suffered a serious spinal fracture. The pain was excruciating — the kind that changes everything. It affected how he slept, how he moved, how he talked to the people around him. It touched every corner of his life. He knows what it feels like to wonder if the pain will ever stop.
But chiropractic care brought him back. Not just from the injury — it brought him back to the life he wanted to live. That experience became the foundation of everything he does at Touch of Life Chiropractic. When a patient walks through the door in pain, Dr. Todd doesn’t just see a chart. He sees someone going through what he’s been through. And he’s made it his life’s mission to help them get to the other side.
“I fractured my spine while in chiropractic school and I know what it is like to feel very serious, life-altering back pain. It affects everyone you see and talk with and everything you do. Chiropractic saved my life. I will always sit down with you for free to see if I can help.”
— Dr. Todd Stranahan
From Firefighter to Healer
Before chiropractic, Dr. Todd spent nearly a decade as a firefighter at Lake Travis Fire Department, where he was honored as Firefighter of the Year. Running into burning buildings, responding to medical emergencies, pulling people from car wrecks — service wasn’t just a job for Dr. Todd. It was a calling.
That same instinct to help — the one that drove him to run toward danger when everyone else ran away — is what drives him in the clinic every day. When he traded his turnout gear for a white coat, the mission didn’t change. Only the tools did.
He brings a firefighter’s urgency to patient care. When you’re in pain, he doesn’t make you wait weeks to get started. He doesn’t run you through a gauntlet of unnecessary appointments before actually helping you. He evaluates you, tells you what’s going on, and gets to work.
A Chiropractic Family
Chiropractic isn’t just Dr. Todd’s career — it’s his family’s way of life. His wife, Dr. Ashley Stranahan, D.C., practices in Cedar Park. His brother, Dr. Tim Stranahan, D.C., practices in Spicewood. Together, the Stranahans have dedicated their lives to helping Central Texas families live healthier, pain-free lives.
When he’s not in the office, Dr. Todd spends every free moment with Ashley and their son, Case Canyon Stranahan. A former nationally ranked collegiate water skier, he’s always been drawn to the outdoors — mountain biking, motocross, fly fishing — but these days his favorite thing is simply being a dad.
