Biomarkers and Blood
The most common biomarker used in medical tests is blood.
Blood tests for chronic spinal pain and abnormal joint biomechanics cover inflammatory indicators. These include:
- Sedimentation rate
- C reactive protein
- Lipid panel (HDL/LDL ratio)
*Chronic inflammation is associated with cancer, diabetes, and stroke. It is, therefore, a good idea to have these tests done regularly to ensure that these indicators are in the normal range.
