Enhance Your Care with Dr. Nishan’s Spinal Stabilization

Nishan Harichandran grew up in Michigan and lived a very active childhood. Between various sports and classical music training, he received early and frequent exposure to strategies for training healthy movement patterns into muscle memory. 

Due to a number of factors, Nishan developed scoliosis and chronic pain over time. He sought to understand how this could have happened given his healthy childhood, and pursued the field of physical therapy to learn more and fulfill his purpose of helping others. After receiving his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Central Michigan University, he began his career in Louisville in 2018.

Having lived in chronic pain himself, Nishan understands the impact pain can have on mental health, life satisfaction, and general functional abilities. He strives to empower his patients with knowledge and strategies that can help them return to healthy and active lifestyles. He helps them achieve this through holistic approaches of patient education and treatment that prioritize the foundations of our health to heal current problems and prevent new ones. 

Nishan lives in Louisville with his two cats, Sammy and Logan. His professional experience has enabled him to return to an active lifestyle. He enjoys hiking in nature, traveling, disc golf, playing musical instruments, reading, and exploring various cuisines. In 2024, after realizing the importance of Atlas alignment, Nishan began seeing Dr. Brett Zemba for treatment of his own condition. Through this, a vision developed to supplement Dr. Zemba’s Atlas orthogonal chiropractic approach with the foundational retraining Nishan can offer as a physical therapist.
