Sports and Spine Center in Marina Del Rey, Calif., said the actress had four neck surgeries this year. Grey suffered a severe neck injury after a serious car accident in 1987, and has suffered from chronic pain ever since. Bray said the night before the final round of dancing, Grey ruptured a disc in her lower back. Bray examined her before and after each dance.

Jennifer Grey is having the time of her life again after overcoming painful neck and back injuries and a voting bloc for Bristol Palin to become the new “Dancing With the Stars” champion. Grey, who consistently topped the judges’ leaderboard throughout the season, took the title on the television celebrity dance competition Tuesday, outscoring fellow finalistsr Kyle Massey and Bristol Palin, who was buoyed for weeks by passionate voters and online efforts to support the single mom. Disney Channel star Massey finished second. Palin, the daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was third.  *Jennifer Grey Dancing With The Stars*
