Dr. Kishan Kumar

M.Chiro, D.C.

Originally from Malaysia, Dr. Kishan Kumar completed his chiropractic studies at International Medical University in Kuala Lumpur. While he always knew he wanted to work in healthcare, it was a chance encounter with chiropractic that captured his interest. The profession’s natural, hands-on, and empowering approach to health inspired him to dive in and he’s never looked back.

Dr. Kishan has a special interest in both sports and paediatric chiropractic care, working with everyone from athletes to young children to help improve movement, function, and overall wellbeing. He takes a thoughtful, individualised approach to care, aiming for long-term results rather than short-term fixes.

Looking to challenge himself in a new environment, Dr. Kishan made the move to Ireland to gain international experience and broaden his clinical perspective. Joining Dr. Ben and the team at Optimal Chiropractic was a natural fit, drawn by the friendly atmosphere, high standards of care, and opportunity to grow alongside a committed and supportive team.

What he enjoys most is the variety and personal connection.

“Every patient brings a different story and journey,” he says. “Being part of that transformation is what makes this work so meaningful.”

When he’s not in the clinic, Dr. Kishan enjoys playing sports, spending time with friends, and exploring new places, especially parks, beaches, and cosy cafés. Though he doesn’t have pets, he’s a huge animal lover, and says that funny animal videos online never fail to make him smile.

I’ve been receiving chiropractic care from Dr. Ben and his team for more than three months, and i couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Ben, Matthew, and Kishan are all incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about their patients. Sarah and Mary are always so warm, welcoming, and helpful, making every visit a pleasure. The progress didn’t happen overnight—it took time, consistency, and the dedication and hard work of Dr. Ben and the entire team. Session by session, i began to notice improvements, and looking back now, i can say it has been life-changing. Today, i sleep much better, migraines and high blood pressure gone, i have far more energy throughout the day, and even feel that my vision and focus have improved. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in how I respond to stress— i feel calmer, more patient, and more in control, and overall i feel healthier, stronger, and more balanced than i have in a long time. The positive changes have had a huge impact on my overall wellbeing and quality of life. I’m so grateful to Dr. Ben and the entire team for their care, support, encouragement, and commitment throughout my journey. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional chiropractic care. Thank you for helping me get my life back!

After years of severe back problems, chronic pain, and stiffness that affected my walking, standing, and everyday life, I started treatment with Optimal Chiropractor last October. The improvement since then has been incredible. I genuinely feel like I have my life back and finally feel my age again instead of constantly feeling older due to my symptoms. I’m amazed by the results and so grateful for the care and support I’ve received throughout my treatment. Ben is incredibly understanding and really takes the time to listen, treating every concern and point you raise as equally important. That level of care and attention has made such a difference to my experience. The whole team are so friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is always relaxed and comfortable. Mary, the receptionist, is extremely helpful and is a real credit to the team. I would highly recommend Optimal Chiropractor to anyone dealing with chronic back pain or mobility issues.

Amazing! Everyone on the team is lovely and so helpful from the minute you walk in. They know you personally and the treatment is next to none. The team takes the time to go through your individualized plan and answer any questions. They have really helped me in the 8 weeks I have been with them. Couldn’t recommend more!

I took advantage of the €40 assessment offer on FB and I am delighted that I took the chance. I was blown away with the complete initial assessment, which includes scans, balance tests etc. and highlighted the exact areas that I was struggling with. After 2 months, the reduction of the pain /discomfort levels in my lower back and neck is significant, as well as a dramatic increase in flexibility and range of motion. I am sleeping better and feeling more rested as I am not waking in discomfort during the night. The biggest plus for me is the lack of the 'crunching' noise that I was so anxious about and shared with the team at my initial consultation.. The adjustments are comfortable and relaxing and I don't even have to take my shoes off!! Every member of the team in Optimal Chiropractic is welcoming and professional, there is very little waiting around with their efficient scheduling and the ambiance is bright and airy. I would highly recommend.

I've suffered with prolapsed discs for many years , I've tried epidural injections , I've tried osteopaths and I even tried using a personal trainer to help strengthen my back all to no avail. I couldn't even help my wife with the grocery shopping. I was in agony and had enough. Then I saw Dr Ben's post on Facebook and said to myself that I'll give him a go , what have I got too lose! After 3 months I am a different man he has in my mind performed a miracle. I will still need to see him periodically going forward but that's a small price to pay for giving me back my life. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND OPTIMAL CHIROPRACTIC to anyone who has pain and needs help. Paul McCarthy

From Miriam Garry I would highly recommend Optimal Chiropratic Ballincollig. Their expertise, attention to detail and caring approach are second to none. Over the past 2 months I have been receiving treatment for a lower back/pelvic issue … which I have had for some time. Within that time I've experienced great results …. reduced pain and increased flexibility and mobility.

I am attending Optimal Chiropractic since Ocober 25 , I was suffering from chronic back and neck pain .I underwent scans at the clinic . I had seven areas on my spine that needed work , thankfully it was not permanent damage .I was completely out of alignment, as the weeks went on my scans were repeated and I was amazed at the progress .My posture had changed , my spine was straighter and I could finally feel I was on the right healing journey I am now six months in and I am physically better than I have ever been Dr Ben and his team are amazing , the clinic is a very welcoming space The treatments are fast and effective

A life-changing experience! My neck pain and headaches vanished after just a few months of treatment—even though I felt a huge improvement within the 2nd week. ​Huge thanks to Noah, Ben, and Jessica (we miss you in Ireland!) for the incredible care. Sara also made the initial scans and check-ups so comfortable. I’m feeling better than ever and back to exercising. It’s a great feeling knowing I have this team to turn to if I ever need them again.
