Can there be a way to get rid of neck pain caused by large breasts?

Smaller breasts: In the extreme I have sent women for breast reduction surgery. Pt can work on neck strengthening and rom, sometimes weight loss works, a very supportive bra with wide soft straps helps.

Neck vs. Breast pain: Reduction mammoplasty can be helpful if causes of neck pain are ruled out. A key indicator of breast contribution is callouses or a deep groove over the shoulders from bra straps that are cutting in. If no obvious cause of neck symptoms on evaluation, then I have no reservations in suggesting this surgery to my patients.

Depends : First thing would be to strengthen the muscles in the upper back and scapular areas. Often if there is cervical spine pathology it can be addressed via physical therapy, medications and injection therapies as well. However if the underlying pathology could be corrected via exercise that would be best. Also people have gotten breast reduction surgery as a last resort to address this issue.

Dr Khan provided: Excellent information. Consider a professional bra fitting. Up to 85% of women in america are not wearing the correct sized bra. A professional fitter will help to find a bra design that might assist in alleviating pain as well as determining the proper band and cup size. Take care.
