Rothbart Pain Management Clinic

The Rothbart Centre for Pain Care is a Toronto-based medical facility specializing in the diagnosis and interventional treatment of chronic pain, particularly affecting the head, neck, face, and back. Founded by Dr. Peter Rothbart, the clinic utilizes minimally invasive techniques such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and radiofrequency ablation to manage conditions like degenerative disc disease and chronic headaches. The center gained significant public attention due to a 2012 bacterial infection outbreak that led to a certified class-action lawsuit regarding its infection control practices. Despite these challenges, the clinic has historically been a prominent provider of multidisciplinary pain management services in the Greater Toronto Area, integrating physical therapy and psychological support alongside medical interventions.
