Prolonged standing or walking, strain injuries of lower-limb joints and ligaments, and lower-limb nerve damage can all cause pain in the hip joint. Therefore, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for hip joint pain to avoid delayed treatment. Tests such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), uric acid, and rheumatology panels should be performed, along with imaging studies including lumbar spine CT and MRI. Comprehensive treatment may include acupuncture, massage, ultrasound therapy, and other modalities.
