A lot of people assume aches and pains are just part of getting older.

The truth? While aging is inevitable, constant discomfort isn't.

Many of the patients we see simply want to:
✔ Move easier
✔ Sleep better
✔ Stay active
✔ Keep doing the things they enjoy

Chiropractic care focuses on restoring movement and helping your body function the way it was designed to.

If you've been putting up with pain because you think it's "normal," it might be time for a second opinion.

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.

Happy Mother’s Day to every kind of mom.

To the grieving moms.
To the moms missing their own mothers.
To the women longing to become moms.

⛳️ 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.
