Finally, a Cure for Chronic Back Problems!
Until now, it has been impossible to mend or “rehydrate” the disc to return to its normal, elastic state. The treatment that Dr. Winternheimer and the Illinois Back Institute have created is called Functional Disc Rehydration. Essentially, this innovative treatment is the first to actually reverse disc degeneration and truly provide a stronger, healthier back.
Does this sound too good to be true?
Actually, Functional Disc Rehydration is a simple approach to making the back healthier without surgery, injections or medications. As mentioned before, when a disc is at its optimum condition, the interior is filled with a fluid and is very pliable, where as a herniated or denergerative disc has very little fluid and is “dehydrated”.
Functional Disc Rehydration works toward relieving the pressure off the disc by allowing the nutrients to flow back into the disc. In the meantime, the supporting muscles are strengthened and reactivated to help the spine become stable once again.
Illinois Back Institute Study
Dr. Jeff knew he had found an amazing treatment that produced results, but he had to validate that Functional Disc Rehydration works through a formal research study.
In 2007, people ranging in age from 39 to 83 years were selected to participate in a study (conducted by a PAC-10 University) to show how effective Functional Disc Rehydration can be. The patients all had chronic back pain and had tried chiropractic care, acupuncture, surgery and medicine.
Prior to the study, Dr. Jon R. Jester, M.D., a noted radiologist commented, “It sounds like a good idea.”
After receiving one treatment of Functional Disc Rehydration, every patient experienced disc rehydration of at least 18 percent. Long-term therapies of 10 weeks produced 80 percent rehydration of the disc.
The statistics overwhelmingly prove that Functional Disc Rehydration does indeed help reverse a degenerated disc, thereby ending back pain. Dr. Jester confirmed the results as well: “I was pleasantly surprised at the results of the MRI scans. I have never seen rehydration first hand,” marveled Dr. Jester.

“Once you have chronic Back Pain the world kind of shrinks. You have to pick and choose what you can or should do. I knew it was only a matter of time before I would have to go “under the knife” then, I met Dr Jeff. He has different techniques that I had never seen before that helps you get back in shape to help heal yourself. Now, amazingly, I’m pain free!”
Steve McMichael, Super Bowl Champion holds the record for the most football games played by any Bear ever.
“So how much pain do you think I lived with? Constant pain in my neck and back. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t do anything. Then I met Dr. Jeff, and shortly after starting treatment for the first time in a decade, I walked a mile on the treadmill pain free. Now I can enjoy my life and watch as my little girl grows up.”
Patients at the Illinois Back Institute receive treatment that takes pressure off their disc while they are walking, sitting and lying down. Additional therapies are provided to help achieve good posture with stronger muscles. Continued Functional Disc Rehydration therapy has shown that patients can reactivate the muscles that were once causing pain, as well as actually reverse disc dehydration.
The Cycle of Pain
The cycle begins when the patient injures their back and feels pain. They stop some activity and create muscle weakness from non-use. Disc degeneration sets in and creates more pain. The patient then becomes even more inactive and the simplest activities can cause more pain. The cycle will continue and worsen unless proper medical help is sought.
