Sometimes they can help, but not always.
Usually a breast reduction will alleviate the back pain better than any chiropractor can.
If you have back/health issues insurance can cover it.

I myself have a large chest and have gone to chiropractors and physical therapists. Mostly what they do is work out the stiffness and any displacements that occur particularly in the neck, spine, and shoulder area.
One thing they had me do was bend into some weird positions while applying pressure to the spine. This causes the spine to pop like Rice Krispies, but it feels good. Another was having me lay on styrofoam pole (4-5 inches in diameter). The pole was aligned with my spine and when the body relaxes, the shoulders are pulled back which relieves some of the tension.
Anything a chiropractor does to relieve discomfort is temporary but for the time being helps.
You may want to look into breast reduction surgery. May times, if the case is servere enough, insurence will cover some, if not all, of the costs of the procedure.
Hope this answered your question!

Sometimes the extra weight can pull the upper back out of whack. The chiropractor could work with the patient to aleiveiate this but it wouldn't be permanent. Better fitting bras or reduction surgery can also help.

Carry them for her ;) Juuuust kidding. As a woman with a large chest, I had to joke about it. My aunt always had alot of back problems due to large chest, she ended up having them reduced. But, I wouldn't say that was the best answer.
Tough call.
