We just received another great review on Facebook:

12/31/2025

From winter storms to busy schedules, 2025 kept us on our toes. ❄️🎉

We’re closed tomorrow for New Year’s Day, but can’t wait to kick off 2026 with you.

Thanks for trusting us with your care — Happy New Year!

12/30/2025

Yesterday’s winter storm gave us an unexpected pause — thanks for bearing with us while we closed for safety. ❄️

The roads have cleared, we’re back today and tomorrow, and we’re squeezing in a few last visits before the year wraps up!

Holiday hours reminder:
• New Year’s Eve (Dec 31): 7:00am–12:00pm
• New Year’s Day (Jan 1): Closed

If you’ve been putting off that adjustment, this afternoon or tomorrow morning is your sign. 😉

We’d love to see you before we ring in the New Year!

❄️ Weather Closure Notice ❄️

Thank you for your understanding — stay warm and safe out there 🤍

Holiday hours reminder 🎄
• Christmas Eve: Open 7:00am–12:00pm
• Christmas Day (Dec 25): Closed
• Friday, Dec 26: Closed

If you’ve been thinking, “I should probably get adjusted before the holidays,” this is your window.

Between cold weather, extra errands, and long drives, your body’s already doing a lot — a little support now can go a long way.

12/19/2025

Friday night plans:
-Sit on the couch
-Warm drink
-Suddenly remember you promised you’d hang lights / clean the garage / move 47 boxes 😭

That’s how weekend warrior season starts — and how a lot of Monday chiropractic visits happen.

Before you dive in, protect your spine:
✔️ Avoid lifting and twisting at the same time - pivot your feet instead
✔️ Take a short break every 10–15 minutes
✔️ Stretch your hips and hamstrings when you’re done (they affect your low back more than you think)

Your spine should support your weekend - not punish you for it.

Holiday errands really are a sport - just a quieter one.
-Multiple store stops.
-Long checkout lines.
-Lots of standing… lots of phone scrolling… lots of hunching without realizing it.

If your neck starts feeling tight or your shoulders creep upward by mid-afternoon, try this quick reset (car parked — safety first):
• Sit tall with your back against the seat
• Drop your shoulders down and back
• Gently pull your chin straight back (yes, the double-chin look)
• Hold 5 seconds, repeat 5 times

If you just noticed your shoulders were up near your ears… this post did its job. 😉

12/15/2025

If you spent today shoveling, pushing your car, or doing that classic “I’ll just muscle it” move… consider this your spine check-in. 😅

Snow shoveling rules (so you don’t pay for it tomorrow):
✅ Warm up for 60 seconds (yes, really)
✅ Switch sides every few minutes
✅ Keep the shovel close to your body
✅ Lift with your legs, not your lower back

If your back is already threatening to file a complaint, we’ve got you.

12/10/2025

Tension headaches don’t always start in your head — they usually begin in the neck and shoulders.

This time of year, holiday stress + long hours at the computer can create:
• Tightness at the base of the skull
• Pressure behind the eyes
• Neck stiffness
• End-of-day headaches

A chiropractic adjustment helps restore mobility, reduce muscle tension, and calm the chain reaction that leads to those headaches.

💙 If you’ve been thinking, “I’ll deal with this after the holidays,” consider this your mid-December reminder to take care of yourself now.

12/05/2025

Dr. Ver Helst is off today for his annual deer-hunting trip with his daughter, Mari Beth, and his son, Bryce — a tradition that’s been going strong in the Ver Helst family for years. Here’s a throwback from 2013 of MB and Bryce on one of those early trips!

Cold mornings, long hours sitting in the stand, and navigating uneven terrain… hunting season is basically a masterclass in why spinal alignment matters.

Whether you’re out in the timber or just gearing up for a busy holiday season, keeping your body balanced makes everything go a whole lot smoother.

Stay safe out there, hunters — and enjoy the fresh air! 🦌
