Bashar Balakirishan, D.Ch
Chiropodist/Foot Specialist
Bashar has been a life long advocate of healthy and active living with a love for sports that is palpable. He was in high school when he obtained his first pair of custom orthotics to alleviate his debilitating arch pain. Bashar would not have been able to live his active lifestyle over the next 10+ years had it not been for his custom devices. His curiosity of lower limb biomechanics and pathologies grew over the years, which ultimately influenced him to pursue a career as a “Foot Specialist.” Bashar has always had a passion and desire to work in health care and has tailored his education to do so. His fascination with the human body and sports medicine led him to pursue an Honors Specialization in Kinesiology degree from Western University. Bashar then enrolled in the Chiropody program at the Michener Institute and graduated with an Advanced Diploma in Chiropody. As a registered Chiropodist, Bashar possess the knowledge and skills to treat a variety of podiatric conditions, while having a passion for diabetic foot management and wound care. Bashar’s utmost priority as a practitioner is to improve the quality of life of every patient he sees. Bashar practices at Aurora Newmarket Foot Clinic Tuesdays, Fridays, and every other Saturday.
