Hip pain is a common complaint that can affect people of all ages, from athletes to office workers. One of the lesser-known but significant causes of hip discomfort is Functional Anterior Hip Impingement (FAHI). This condition occurs when the front of the hip joint becomes compressed due to poor movement patterns, muscle imbalances, or altered biomechanics. Left untreated, FAHI can lead to chronic pain and limit daily activities or athletic performance.

Spinal stiffness can significantly affect balance, impacting a person's ability to maintain stability and perform coordinated movements. Here are some ways in which spinal stiffness can influence balance:

Foraminal stenosis, is a narrowing of the foraminal space (i.e. the space between the discs and joints of the spine that the nerves come out of) leading to nerve compression. While traditional medical interventions like medications, cortisone injections and surgery are often considered, chiropractic care offers a non-invasive and holistic approach to managing the symptoms of foraminal stenosis and helping to avoid a progression of degeneration in other segments of the spine.
