Halloween night is coming fast, and that means it’s just about time to head out for a night of trick-or-treating with the kids. But before you kick off your trick-or-treating adventure, take some time to catch up on a few Halloween safety tips—and a recommendation or two that can help you prevent foot pain.
Even if you’ve gone trick-or-treating in the same neighborhood before, planning out your path for the evening is one of the best safety tips you can follow. Figuring out which streets and homes are safe, creating a route, and sharing it with your group will help ensure that everyone stays together. This will also help you get a sense of the hazards you’ll have to consider along the way, including low-light or low-visibility areas, crosswalks, and corners.
Everyone wants to have the best Halloween costume, but when it comes to your trick-or-treaters, make sure that safety is a priority. Elaborate masks can be cool, but they make it harder to see and breathe. Non-toxic makeup is less risky and gives you an opportunity to be creative. Make sure that costumes are well-fitted and don’t have any tripping hazards, and avoid any accessories like plastic swords that could potentially cause injuries. And no matter what your kids dress up as, make sure there’s something reflective on their costumes so that they can be seen by oncoming cars.
Let’s face it—walking around the neighborhood for hours may not be as easy on your feet today as it was when you were a little ghost or goblin. If you want to prevent foot pain from a night of trick-or-treating, follow tips like staying hydrated, making time to stretch before you set out, and wearing comfortable walking shoes. Getting a chiropractic adjustment or massage before or after Halloween can also prevent and relieve foot pain so that you can rest easy after all the candy has been collected.
