This research was part of a series of discoveries that ultimately led to a therapy that, in many cases, permanently eliminates chronic musculoskeletal pain without the use of drugs or surgery.  This therapy is called Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy, in which I use a series of tests, proprietary computer analyses, custom designed Rothbart Proprioceptive Insoles and ongoing monitoring to address all of the changes in the patients condition and necessary changes in prescriptions, until the chronic muscle and/or joint pain is eliminated.

Here is an excerpt from the article, "Proprioceptive Insoles: From a Podiatric Point of View" published in the Price Pottinger’s Health and Healing Wisdom (Rothbart, 2005), that ultimately led to the development of Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy:

“For years I attempted to stabilize foot mechanics by using supportive type foot insoles (standard orthotics).  These insoles typically incorporated an arch support with forefoot wedging (posting).  They were effective for controlling foot, knee and low back pain, but at a very high price.  Over the years, it became apparent to me that by supporting the foot I was weakening it. As long as my patients wore their foot insoles, their body pain was less.  However, their pain quickly returned when the insoles were not worn. It appeared I was addicting my patients to their orthotics!”
