Professor Rothbart's Philosophy and Approach

Professor Rothbart's own experience with chronic pain for over 10 years has shaped his unique philosophy in how he works with his patients.  He understands on both a physical and emotional level exactly what his patients are going through.  He has a keen insight into their situation and compassion for them and the problems with which they are living.

  • Professor Rothbart listens to and treats the whole person, not just the pain.  He educates his patients as to what he is doing, why, and how it works.  Each patient fully understands and takes part in his own healing process.
  • He wants his patients to heal and then no longer have a need for his services, therefore avoiding a lifetime of treatment.  The duration of his treatment is finite.  His patients save time and money.
Having been both a physician and researcher for 40 years, Professor Rothbart's approach is different from all other approaches in the following ways:
  • As a chronic pain specialist, he works only with people living in chronic pain.  He is completely committed to his patients and always searching for better ways to help them.
  • Professor Rothbart's therapy addresses the source of chronic pain.  For this reason, he does not merely treat symptoms.  If only symptoms are addressed, the problem will always return.  When the source of the problem is addressed, the chronic pain is eliminated.
  • He is very thorough.  His intake exam is comprehensive and his patients know that he has grasped the complexity of their problem.  Professor Rothbart is not on a time clock and so his patient appointments last as long as necessary.
  • He has developed and is the only clinician using specific proprietary tests and analyses which determine if a patient has a certain foot structure that will lead to chronic pain.
  • Part of Professor Rothbart's therapy uses insoles which he invented, to directly handle the source of the chronic pain. They are custom designed for each patient.
  • He treats patients from all over the world and is currently the only clinician who can, and is, working long distance with chronic pain patients.
  • While others are using techniques which he discarded 25 years ago, Professor Rothbart is always searching for new avenues and more effective tools to help his patients get better.
  • Because his goal is to eliminate, not manage chronic pain his patients get better and stay better.
Professor Rothbart has become known as the Father of Chronic Pain Elimination because he is a pioneer in the discovery and understanding of how two previously unknown foot structures lead to chronic pain.  He is not hindered by outdated, conventional practices, nor by distance from his patients. 

Because of his determination, he has brought about new advances that are much more effective in treating chronic pain than what previously existed.  Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy exists because of his perserverance and pursuance of knowledge, in spite of the obstacles in bringing a new science to the world.  Because of his dedication Professor Rothbart gets RESULTS.
