Large Breasts and Back Pain
If you have large breasts and have back pain, or you know someone who is large breasted and has back pain, and either of you are considering having breast reduction surgery as a treatment for back pain, then reading this article and following my directions will save you untold amounts of grief. First, let's be clear about our terminology. When you ask if large breasts, or heavy breasts cause back pain, we must first understand that a "cause" is a condition (or actions) that, alone, are directly attributed to the end result: in this case, back pain. "Cause" means to make something happen; specifically, all by itself.
So isn't my back pain caused by my top-heavy weight? Not by itself. We have to evaluate other factors. That's the key. In the familiar case of heart disease, is high cholesterol the cause of heart attacks? Is weight gain, smoking, not exercising, or eating fried food the cause of heart attacks? The answer to all of these questions is: no, not by themselves. Most people believe that the correct response for each of those questions is "yes," but it is "no," because none of those conditions, or actions alone can be directly attributed to heart attacks. One of them does not directly and solely cause the other.
However, what if you start combining more than one factor together with another? What is the answer then? Well when you combine these scenarios together you might find that a higher percentage of people who have that combination of factors will eventually get the end result; a heart attack. A higher percentage, but not all! What we have here are called "contributing factors." They all play some role in the problem, but alone are not proven as "the cause." A single contributing factor does not cause a particular symptom all by itself.
Having heavy breasts is not the cause of your back pain, but it can contribute to the end result. Somewhere, your full healing potential got turned off, and that is the real issue.
The causes of back pain: Back pain has many, many contributing factors. Chiropractors have to sort these out and make sense of them all the time. Did someone tell you that your back pain is because of the heavy weight of your breasts? How can you know if this just a bad guess? Don't let myths and non-expert opinions coax you into going under the knife to cut away and remove healthy, natural breast tissue. Thinking that surgery is the only choice is foolish in today's world of self care, alternative care, and natural functional medicine.
A chiropractor can give you the expert opinion you need, but even a chiropractor can mistakenly think that the weight of your breasts is causing your back pain. The reasoning is that there is a larger than usual, forward-of-center, top-heavy weight, and the muscles of your back and shoulders have to compensate for this forward weight. Yes, your back muscles and shoulder muscles always have to work harder because of the increased demand on them just to maintain your upright posture, but heavy breasts, alone, are not the cause of back pain.
Expert opinion: The extra forward weight from heavy breasts, is not the cause of your back problem. The clear proof that your heavy breasts are not causing your back pain is that there are many other more busty women who do not have back pain at all. If heavy breasts cause back pain, then every woman with large breasts would have back pain. Obviously large breasts alone do not cause back pain, but they may be a contributing factor, which could result in chronic backache (other contributing factors must be present). Now that we know how a contributing factor all by itself is not the cause of a symptom, we can also appreciate that big breasts alone do not cause back pain.
Lifestyle care is my specialty. It is not conventional medicine or average chiropractic. Your case requires a functional medicine approach. When you don't want to wait for other signs of illness and disease to show later in your life and you want to be proactive to preserve your health and beauty now, you will take the necessary steps that we offer, now instead of later. Get checked to support your increased lifestyle demands now. Make your appointment today to check which other contributing factors are related to your back pain, or your risk of developing chronic back pain. Get to the root causes, with our comfortable, natural, non-invasive method.

So, should large breasted women expect to have back pain?
Large breasted women, including women who have had breast augmentation, are not all destined to have back pain, but are at risk. To live without back pain, you'll just have to take care of your daily health and lifestyle demands at a higher level than other women do, including finding a functional medicine chiropractor and getting checked for the other factors that affect your individual lifestyle.

Question: Should I get breast reduction surgery to cure my back pain? My back pain is constant. I heard about someone who got breast reduction, and her back pain went away immediately.
Answer: No. The "straw that breaks the camel's back" may be something else entirely! Wouldn't you prefer not to have surgery, keep your natural breasts and be pain free, without the scars that breast reduction surgery would leave you? Without detecting and correcting any other contributing factors and hidden causes of your back pain, you might think you only have one choice. Choosing breast reduction surgery to treat back pain is not a beautiful thing.
