Breast reduction linked to lower risk of back problems.
Dec 29th
Scottsdale – Women who have very large breasts often times complain of upper back and neck pain. They seek breast reduction surgery in hopes of having less pain in those areas of the spine. They also want to be able to work and perform their daily functions without being so uncomfortable. According to new research presented at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) 78th Annual Conference, women who have breast reduction surgery may be at a lower risk for spine and other back disorders.
This study is rather simple, but also effective at demonstrating that breast reduction improves the function of those having surgery. In the research, participants were asked to perform a bio-mechanical analysis with the use of tasks that involved lifting a 5 pound weight both before and after surgery. The patients were asked to respond via a questionnaire. The results demonstrate that women who had breast reduction experienced decreased stress in their lower back while performing the physical activities. The participants also reported dramatic improvements in the ability to perform dynamic movements and withstand static positions.
Excessively large breasts are considered an unhealthy condition resulting in significant shoulder and back pain, and deep shoulder grooves from bra straps. This study is another piece of evidence to show that breast reduction is an effective surgery that can relieve back pain and increase the functional use of the back. According to ASPS, nearly 89,000 breast reductions were performed in 2008, up 5 percent since 2000.
