“It takes 65 muscles to frown and 13 to make a smile. Why work overtime?” — B.J. Palmer
This quote is more than clever—it’s a reminder that tension, stress, and misalignment don’t just affect your mood, they show up in your body, too.
When your nervous system is under pressure, your muscles often take the hit. You might clench your jaw, hunch your shoulders, or carry tension in your neck and back without even realizing it. Over time, that “overtime” can lead to headaches, fatigue, poor posture, and yes—even more frowns.
Chiropractic care helps break that cycle. Gentle adjustments restore alignment, reduce muscle tension, and support better communication between your brain and body. When your spine is moving well, your muscles don’t have to overcompensate. That means less strain, more ease, and a body that feels lighter—inside and out.
Bonus: When your nervous system is balanced, your mood often follows. Many people report feeling calmer, more focused, and even a little happier after an adjustment. It’s not magic—it’s physiology.
So if you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders (literally), maybe it’s time to give those 65 frown muscles a break. Let’s help your body smile from the inside out. Book your next adjustment today.
