Most people think chiropractic is “just for back pain.”
That’s only scratching the surface.

Your spine protects your nervous system — the system that controls movement, digestion, sleep, immune response, and how your body handles stress.

When the spine isn’t moving or functioning well, the nervous system can’t communicate clearly with the rest of the body. That’s when people start noticing things like:
• Persistent neck or low back pain
• Headaches or migraines
• Poor sleep or constant fatigue
• Stiffness that doesn’t go away
• Feeling “off” even when nothing is technically wrong

At Ver Helst Chiropractic, Dr. Kurt focuses on restoring motion, balance, and function — not just chasing symptoms.

The goal isn’t temporary relief.
It’s helping your body work the way it was designed to.

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!

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.

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. 😉

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.
