Hip pain can make walking, sitting, and even sleeping uncomfortable. Because the hip connects so closely to the lower back and legs, hip pain often isn’t just a hip problem — it’s frequently tied to how the whole spine and pelvis are functioning together.
At Great Health Chiropractic, Dr. Jeffrey Bratten has helped patients throughout Gresham and the surrounding communities with hip pain for more than 37 years. We offer same-day appointments because when your hip hurts, waiting only makes it harder to sort out.
What Causes Hip Pain?
Hip pain has a number of possible sources, including:
- Arthritis or general wear in the hip joint
- Muscle or tendon strain
- Sciatica or a pinched nerve referring pain into the hip
- Bursitis (inflammation of the cushioning sac near the joint)
- Postural or gait imbalances, including uneven leg length
- Pregnancy-related pelvic changes
Because hip pain can come from the joint itself or from somewhere else in the spine, a proper exam is what actually points to the right treatment.
Signs Your Hip Pain Needs Attention
See us promptly if you notice:
- Pain that lasts more than a few days or keeps coming back
- Pain that spreads into the lower back, groin, or down the leg
- Stiffness or a noticeable limp
- Pain that worsens with walking, standing, or climbing stairs
- Trouble getting comfortable at night
How We Treat Hip Pain
Every new patient starts with a thorough exam and, when needed, imaging — so we understand exactly what’s causing your pain before any treatment begins. Dr. Bratten then explains what’s going on in plain language and builds a plan around your specific case. No guesswork, and no surprises.
Depending on your exam, care may include gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore proper alignment and motion through the hip and pelvis, physical rehabilitation to rebuild the strength and stability that support the joint, and massage therapy to ease surrounding muscle tension. The goal is to treat the underlying cause of your pain and support your body’s natural healing — not just mask the symptoms.
Insurance & Payment
We accept most major insurance plans, and our team will help verify your coverage before treatment begins so there are no surprises — see our Insurance & Payment page for details. If your hip pain is from a car accident, your Oregon auto insurance likely covers care with no out-of-pocket cost — we bill your auto insurer directly. Learn more on our Auto Accident page.

FAQ – Hip Pain Treatment in Gresham
Is my hip pain coming from my hip or my back?
It can be either — or both. Hip and lower-back problems often overlap, which is why a full exam matters more than guessing.
Can uneven leg length cause hip pain?
It can contribute to imbalances that lead to hip and back pain over time. An exam can identify whether this is a factor for you.
Will I need imaging?
Sometimes. We start with a thorough exam and use imaging when it helps confirm what’s going on.
Can a car accident cause hip pain?
Yes — impact and sudden force can strain the hip and pelvis. See our Auto Accident page for how Oregon auto insurance covers this care.
Do you offer same-day appointments?
Yes. We keep room in the schedule for patients in acute pain, and we’re open seven days a week. Call (503) 667-3366 to schedule an appointment.
