Brachioradial Pruritus Treatment in Sarasota, Florida
Brachioradial pruritus is a chronic nerve-related condition characterized by intense itching and discomfort along the forearms, often linked to cervical spine misalignments and nerve irritation. At Lavender Family Chiropractic in Sarasota, FL, we understand how this frustrating issue can impact life, and we’re here to help.
Understanding Brachioradial Pruritus
Brachioradial pruritus is a chronic neuropathic itch disorder affecting the skin of the lateral forearms. Patients experience intense itching, burning, or stinging sensations that can be aggravated by sun exposure, heat, or repetitive arm movements. Many do not understand the exact cause but, research suggests a strong link with cervical spine pathology, such as degenerative disc disease or nerve compression in the neck, leading to altered sensory nerve function and Upper Cervical Chiropractic care sees great success with this condition. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, neurological examination, and often imaging to assess cervical spine health.
How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care Can Help
At Lavender Family Chiropractic, we focus on precise assessments of C1 and C2 vertebrae using advanced CBCT 3D imaging and functional nervous system scans. Subluxations in the upper cervical spine can compress or irritate cervical nerve roots, resulting in forearm itching and neuropathic discomfort. Gentle adjustments restore proper alignment without twisting or popping, reducing nerve compression and improving nerve signaling. As the cervical spine stabilizes, inflammation and abnormal nerve impulses diminish, offering patients lasting relief from chronic itching and enhancing nerve health and comfort.
