Prevent Back Pain from Trick-or-Treating

Halloween will be looking a little different this year, but many families are still taking part in modified versions of trick-or-treating. While Halloween is fun for the entire family, parents can sometimes find themselves in discomfort from being on their feet for extended periods of time. Here are our tips to help you and your back make it through Halloween pain-free so you can your family can have a scary good time!

Wear Comfortable Footwear

Trick-or-treating is an event that the entire family can look forward to. For parents with young children, you will most likely find yourself going from house to house for most of the evening. We find that many of our patients come in after Halloween looking for back pain relief because they spent hours walking in the wrong shoes. Be sure to put on comfortable footwear before trick-or-treating. Research shows that supportive tennis shoes are best for preventing back pain.

Stretch It Out

Stretching before trick-or-treating might seem silly, but it’s a great way to help prevent back pain. Spending hours on your feet may increase the risk of back pain, so rather than risk it, stretch it out! Light stretches can help release tension in the body and prevent pain.
