Hip Pain Treatment in Grand Rapids, MI
Chiropractic care for hip pain in Northwest Grand Rapids, focused on easier movement and long term joint health.
What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain is rarely just “tight muscles.” It often develops because of joint irritation, past injuries, arthritis, muscle imbalances, altered gait, or changes in how the low back and pelvis are moving. Over time, these issues can create stiffness, sharp pain with certain movements, or aching that spreads into the groin, thigh, or low back.
Common hip related issues include:
Deep aching or sharp pain in the hip or groin
Pain when walking, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of a car
Stiffness after sitting or sleeping
Hip pain paired with low back or knee discomfort
At Freedom Chiropractic in Northwest Grand Rapids, serving Standale, Walker, Allendale, and Coopersville, we focus on finding the specific structural and functional reasons your hip is painful or restricted. We look at how your hips, pelvis, low back, and knees are working together so your care is based on what your body actually needs.
Relief from Hip Pain. Better Movement. Long Term Results.
We understand how limiting hip pain can be, making it harder to walk, stand, exercise, work, or simply keep up with your normal routine. Many patients come to us after trying to push through the discomfort or relying on temporary relief that never fully addresses what is happening in the joint.
Our role is to provide clear answers and practical solutions. Through targeted chiropractic care and movement based strategies, we work to improve hip and pelvic mechanics, reduce stress on irritated tissues, and support steadier, longer term relief, not just a short break from hip pain.

What to Expect with Our Hip Pain Care
Your care starts with a thorough consultation and hands on assessment. We look at hip and pelvic mobility, leg length patterns, gait, posture, muscle strength and tension, and how your low back and knees are involved. This gives us a full picture of what is driving your hip pain.
Based on your exam findings, we create a personalized care plan that may include specific chiropractic adjustments for the hips, pelvis, and lower back, gentle mobilization, StemWave shockwave therapy when appropriate, corrective exercises, and simple lifestyle or ergonomic guidance. At Freedom Chiropractic, our goal is to relieve pain, improve joint motion, and reduce the risk of future flare ups so you can return to your normal activities with greater comfort and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
In many cases, yes. Hip pain is often influenced by how the hips, pelvis, and low back are moving together. At Freedom Chiropractic, we assess joint motion, muscle balance, and gait, then use gentle adjustments, extremity work, and movement strategies to improve mechanics and reduce stress on the hip.
Sometimes hip pain is truly from the hip joint, and other times it is referred from the low back, pelvis, or even nerves. During your exam, we use orthopedic and neurological testing, along with a detailed history, to find out which structures are involved. Your care plan is based on those findings, not guesswork.
Timing depends on how long you have had symptoms, what is causing the pain, and your overall health and activity level. Some patients notice changes in comfort and movement within a few visits, while others improve more gradually over several weeks. We will discuss realistic expectations up front and check in regularly to make sure your plan reflects how your hip is responding.
