This Memorial Day, we’re reminded how important it is to slow down, spend time with loved ones, and appreciate the freedoms we often take for granted. 🇺🇸

Today we honor and remember the heroes who made those freedoms possible.

From our Ver Helst Chiropractic family to yours, have a safe, healthy, and meaningful Memorial Day weekend.

🚨 Friendly scheduling update 🚨

Dr. Kurt will be out of the office Thursday (and his usual Friday) as he heads off to his son’s bachelor party weekend… where apparently the agenda consists of approximately 97% golf. ⛳️

He’ll be back in the office next week, and we’re sure he’ll be ready to give everyone a full recap on whether or not he finally beat Bryce. (We’re not taking bets on that one. 😅)

If you need to get in before the long weekend, give us a call!

For nearly 40 years, Dr. Kurt Ver Helst has been caring for patients in Ames and surrounding communities.

One thing that’s never changed:
People want honest care and someone who actually listens.

No long-term contracts.
No pressure.
Just personalized chiropractic care focused on helping people move and feel better.

From young athletes to grandparents to busy parents trying to survive the school pickup line 😅, we’re grateful to care for so many generations of Ames families.

“Adulting” is basically just:
ignoring minor pain until your body sends a formal complaint. 😅

At first it’s:
“I slept weird.”

Then it’s:
“I guess this is my life now.”

You don’t have to wait until discomfort becomes your normal.

Taking care of your body now can help you keep doing the things you love later — whether that’s working, golfing, gardening, chasing kids around, or just getting through Monday without sounding like bubble wrap when you stand up.

As Mother’s Day comes to a close tonight, we just wanted to take a moment to say something to all the moms and mother figures out there. 💛

Happy Mother’s Day to every kind of mom.

To the moms doing everything for everyone else.
To the exhausted moms.
To the grieving moms.
To the moms missing their own mothers.
To the women longing to become moms.
To the stepmoms, bonus moms, grandmas, and mother figures.
To the moms carrying more than most people realize.

We see you.

At Ver Helst Chiropractic, we’re grateful for the incredible women and families in this community and wanted to send a little extra love your way tonight.

⛳️ Golf season is back.

Which means:
“This is my year.”
…your back: “absolutely not.”

A few swings in and you’re already debating if you’re playing 18… or just driving the cart.

Golf looks easy, until your body reminds you it’s not.

We can’t fix your slice, but we can help you move and feel better out there.

Swing better. Move better. Feel better.

Your body keeps receipts.

That weird way you sit
The way you sleep
The “I’ll deal with it later” mindset

It all adds up.

And eventually your body’s like: “Cool… we’re dealing with it now.” 😅

If you’re at that point… it might be time to actually get it looked at instead of pushing through it.

That’s what we’re here for.

We help you move better, feel better, and get back to normal life, without the stiffness.

Start with a complimentary consultation and see what’s going on.

Ever notice how your back magically starts hurting the second Monday hits? 🤔

It’s not just you.

After a weekend of:
✔️ sleeping weird
✔️ scrolling too long
✔️ “just one more episode”

…your body is feeling it.

Start your week aligned (literally).
Your future self will thank you.
