Hip pain has been noted since antiquity, often described as lameness or difficulty walking. Ancient treatments included heat, massage, and herbal poultices. In the 19th and 20th centuries, hip joint disease such as arthritis and fractures became more treatable with surgical advances, but conservative care remained important. The rise of modern orthopedics brought joint replacement as an option, yet physical therapy and conservative care remain essential for prevention and management. Today, hip pain care blends rehabilitation, strengthening, and nutrition support for weight balance.
