Is running bad for your joints? Not necessarily.
For most people, running can actually help strengthen the muscles, bones, and tissues that support your joints. The real problem comes from poor form, improper shoes, weak muscles, or pushing through pain.
If your knees, hips, or back hurt every time you run, your body may be compensating in ways it should not. Proper movement, strength training, and chiropractic care can help keep you running comfortably.
