Tips to Prevent Trick-or-Treating Back Pain

Halloween is just a few short weeks away and although things look different this year, many are still preparing for a night of frightful fun. Halloween is fun for the whole family but wearing uncomfortable clothes and being on your feet for a long time can be the cause of back pain. Here are our tips to help prevent back pain from trick-or-treating.

Start with Comfortable Shoes
Trick-or-treating is something the whole family can look forward to. For those with young children, you are sure to find yourself going from house to house in search of treats. Many parents find themselves suffering from back pain after a night walking the neighborhood and it is often due to improper footwear. Make sure you make comfortable and supportive shoes part of your costume.

Next Step: Stretch
Stretching before trick-or-treating might seem silly, but it’s a great preventative measure to take to keep back pain away. Spending hours on your feet can cause back pain and a good stretch session may help. For stretching tips to help release tension and prevent pain, just ask during your next adjustment.
