🤧 What if allergies aren’t just about what’s in the air, but also how your body responds?

Think of your nervous system like a communication highway. 🧠

It helps your brain and body communicate, including coordinating functions involved in your immune response.

When pollen, dust, or other allergens enter your body, your immune system can react, triggering sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes.

Chiropractic care focuses on the spine and nervous system as part of supporting overall health and wellness.

While chiropractic adjustments aren’t a proven treatment for allergies, understanding how your nervous and immune systems work together is an important part of understanding your body’s response.

Your body is constantly communicating. Let’s help you understand it better!

“The baby started crying during the adjustment. Doesn’t that mean it hurt?”

That’s one of the biggest concerns people had after I shared a video of myself adjusting my granddaughter.

And I understand why!

But crying doesn’t automatically mean a baby is in pain. Babies can react to unfamiliar movements, positioning, or sensations.

Think about when you change a baby’s diaper. Sometimes they’ll cry, kick, and fuss simply because they don’t like being moved around or having their clothes taken off. That doesn’t automatically mean you’re hurting them.

The same principle applies here. Crying alone doesn’t tell us whether a baby is in pain, which is why paying attention to their response and comfort is so important.

Dr. Kurt celebrated his 60-something 😉 birthday over the weekend! 🎉

He spent the day with his wife, Robin, who surprised him with a pretty incredible gift, a one-of-a-kind Packers bench that feels very fitting for one of the biggest Green Bay fans we know. 💚💛

Dr. Kurt, you’re about as family-loving, Packers-loving, chiropractic-loving, people-loving as they come, and we hope you had the best birthday surrounded by the people and things you love most.

Help us wish Dr. Kurt a very happy birthday! 🎂

When something feels off, you want more than a quick adjustment.

Dr. Kurt takes time to assess what’s going on first, then adjusts based on what your body needs.

With nearly 40 years of experience caring for patients in Ames, his approach is simple: listen, assess, and provide thoughtful, personalized care. 🙌

Because chiropractic care shouldn’t feel one-size-fits-all.

Sometimes the best way to explain the impact of chiropractic care is to hear it directly from the people experiencing it.

In this video, two of Dr. Kurt’s patients share what their care has meant to them: from finally getting relief after dealing with a chronic limp to being able to travel, walk more, and feel like themselves again.

One patient shared that she had been struggling to walk even 2,000 steps. After working with Dr. Kurt, she was able to go on a trip with her daughter and hit 16,000 steps, something she hadn’t thought would be possible.

And then there’s this line, which may be one of our favorites yet: “I’ve got my God, and I’ve got Kurt, and that’s all I need.” ❤️

Stories like these are why Dr. Kurt has loved caring for patients in Ames and Story County for nearly 40 years.

We’re so grateful to the patients who trust Ver Helst Chiropractic with their care - and especially to those willing to share their stories.

Meet Dr. Kurt 👋 His chiropractic story actually started with a high school baseball injury.

After hurting his back, Dr. Kurt started seeing a chiropractor, and not only did his back begin feeling better, but his batting average went up too. ⚾

He eventually became friends with the chiropractor who was treating him, and that relationship led to a visit to Palmer College of Chiropractic.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Nearly 40 years later, Dr. Kurt is still helping people throughout Ames and Story County feel better, move better, and get back to doing the things they love.

And as Dr. Kurt says… “That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.” 😂
