Notalgia parestheica help

Hi - I've had Notalgia Paresthetica for years but it was only ever an itch that was aggravated when my posture was particularly bad. Irritating but not life changing. Unfortunately, after a year of way too much computer work and bad posture, it's back and much worse. This time, the pain is front and center.

I've tried a chiropractor, which didn't help this time, and have been going to physical therapy for the last three months. I feel stronger but nothing is helping the pain. I just started cervical traction and that actually seems to help a tiny bit. My X-rays and MRI's have shown nothing but moderate degenerative disc disease.

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for treating NP? Any advice is much appreciated. I have been in near constant pain for the last six months and feeling desperate. Thanks.
