Best Answer

yes actually

um no. maybe whilst your running, your vertebrae could bend slightly due to the pressure but once you get rest it straightens out because of the cartilage that is in between your spinal vertebrae. The cartilage is a gel-like substance and it is there for protection. So no worries, just don't listen to scientists and conduct your own experiments:)
