A member asked:
Can a breast reduction surgery for very excessively large heavy breasts, help restore natural lordosis in the cervical spine? is there a link between large breasts and spinal health? thanks?

Excessive breast weight does affect the spine. Please note that medically advised breast reduction surgery is usually covered by insurance if you have health insurance.
