Brachioradial pruritis (BRP) is a condition characterized by non-stop itching on the top of the forearms (overlying the brachioradialis muscle). Scratching seems to make the itching worse.
In this case a thirty-seven-year old female with a history of brachioradial pruritis began chiropractic care. In addition to the itching, she also had complaints of neck stiffness and vertigo (dizziness). Vertebral subluxations were identified using chiropractic analysis which included palpation, heat scanning and X-ray.
After 2 ½ months of chiropractic care, the symptoms associated with BRP as well as her neck and dizziness had completely resolved. (4)
