Jennifer Grey's Neuroma

Dirty Dancing and Dancing with the Stars Jennifer Grey suffered from a painful neuroma that ultimately had to be removed.

Neuromas are essentially swollen nerves that are caused by irritation from adjacent bones (metatarsals). In active people, the neuromas can become very painful and can limit activity if not treated.

Treatment options include cortisone and sclerosing alcohol injections, nerve decompression, padding, non steroidal antiinflamatory medications, orthotics and surgery.

Dr. Silvers has been in practice for over 13 years and treats patients with neuromas on a daily basis.
