✨ How a Yawn Can Lead to a Spasm ✨
Have you ever experienced this? It sounds strange, but a big, deep yawn can sometimes trigger a neck or upper back spasm, and what a way to start your day. 🫠
When you yawn, the jaw, throat, and neck muscles all stretch at the same time. If those muscles are already tight, stressed, or guarding, that sudden stretch can cause them to lock up.
This is especially common if your spine and nervous system are already carrying tension.
If it happens, try to stay relaxed and move slowly. Warmth, gentle movement, and breathing can help the muscle release.
Chiropractic care can help your body stay in a state where muscles are less likely to spasm because the spine and nervous system communicate more smoothly.
Your body is usually not trying to hurt you, but you also don’t have to just deal with it. It’s likely a sign for help. 🤍

If you are looking for a guided solution to your baby's tension due to torticollis, lip & tongue ties, birth trauma, or colic and reflux, this is a great start! I have developed easy steps that you can take at home to help guide your 0-6 month old through more rounded head development & increased ne...
Not because you’re failing.
But because your nervous system may be overwhelmed.
Your body was not designed for constant urgency, nonstop stimulation, artificial light at midnight, ultra-processed food, chemical overload, and pushing through exhaustion like it’s a badge of honor.
It was designed for rhythm.
For effort followed by rest.
For sunlight and sleep.
For real food.
For connection and safety.
When we live in constant activation and constant exposure, the body adapts. You feel wired but tired. Tense for no clear reason. Snappy. Foggy. Heavy.
That’s not weakness.
That’s physiology.
Alignment isn’t just mindset work. It’s nervous system work.
It looks like:
✨ Going to bed earlier
✨ Stepping outside daily
✨ Breathing slower
✨ Eating in a way that stabilizes you
✨ Reducing toxin exposure in your home and products
✨ Saying no when your body says no
Small shifts signal safety.
Safety creates regulation.
Regulation makes life feel steadier.
You don’t need to overhaul your life.
You may just need to come back to your design.

Sometimes kids just need a moment to reset and reconnect with their bodies.
Dr. Natalie used this rainy week to get her own kiddos in since we were all robbed of recess and park time because of the weather. ☔️
Watching their nervous systems settle never gets old. 🧠✨
If your child could use a reset like this, you can book with Dr. Scout or Dr. Sabrina online at mamaschiro.com 🤍

On our side of things, chiropractic just makes sense.
We’ve seen the science.
We’ve seen the outcomes.
We’ve FELT the outcomes.
But we also understand that chiropractic care has its fair share of skepticism.
Part of that is history. Early chiropractic was misunderstood, heavily criticized by conventional medicine, and for decades there were organized efforts to discredit and marginalize the profession. That reputation lingered, even as research, regulation, and education evolved.
So we get it. If you’ve only heard mixed messages, hesitation makes sense.
We know how we would answer someone who’s skeptical. But honestly? We think people often respond better to real stories from real people.
Those of you who have been under care…
Those of you who were unsure at first…
Those of you who’ve seen or felt changes in your body…
What would you say to someone who’s nervous about starting chiropractic care?
Let’s hear it 🤍

Around 3–4 months, many babies are ready to explore sitting — not propped in containers, not rushed, not forced — but supported and passive.
Especially for babies who: • struggled with feeding • were tight at birth • had reflux • prefer extension patterns • seem stiff through their chest or shoulders
Passive seated play with hands forward can be incredibly powerful.
Why?
When baby sits with support and hands in front:
• It encourages gentle thoracic rounding (that soft “C” curve we want developing) • It helps break strong extension patterns that can fuel reflux • It strengthens hands, wrists, and shoulders as they learn to catch themselves • It builds the foundation for smooth transitions to the floor • It prepares the nervous system for crawling
There is no rush to milestones.
But there is wisdom in opportunity.
Spinal curves begin shaping from day one. Plenty of horizontal time builds strength. But small doses of supported vertical exploration help integrate that strength.
For our tight babies, hands-forward seated posture can be exactly what their system needs.
Think exposure. Not expectation. Invitation. Not pressure.
The ground is still the main teacher.
We’re just giving them more ways to experience it.

Mouth 👄 Breathing a Concern? South Louisiana has resources!
Could your child’s sleep issues be linked to their airway?
The answer is YES!
This patient’s mom, a dentist, was concerned about his mouth breathing. She knew that long term mouth breathing can alter jaw development and wanted him to have jaw development early.
With just a year of airway-focused orthodontic treatment, we’ve seen his jaws get back on track to developing in a more forward and outward direction. This supports healthy breathing, healthy sleeping, and healthy brain development.
Peek in on your child during sleep for a few nights…are their lips together?

Trusting the body’s natural ability to regenerate or heal was always a concept that came easy to me. Maybe to think about all of the processes that had to occur during healing overwhelmed me as a child (never was much of a book worm), so it was easier to trust what could not always be seen. I grew up in a large family of eight children, myself being the seventh child. Life was fun with my older brothers, but not without some minor injuries. My sisters were a bit too mature for rough play, but we sure did get plenty of bruises on our legs from our clumsy teenage days. Stitches were received, bones were sometimes broken, but the body didn’t have to be told for weeks after the injury to continue healing and evolve.
The body has an intelligence that is profound! Science has not yet caught up with this intelligence, though it strives to! When I was pregnant, I would joke and tell my friends and family that "..today I am making eyeballs and fingers!” Obviously, this was an involuntary process happening inside of me, but how liberating to be apart of it and try to take the credit.
So why do I say all of this? Well, our bodies were made to self-heal and self-regulate. Our bodies are magnificent! Sometimes, we experience traumas. Or, maybe we do not always eat the healthiest meals or think the healthiest thoughts. We collect physical and emotional insults like this throughout the course of our lives and the body adapts. We think we are doing good, because we are not sick. However, overtime, when we neglect to diminish or remove the stressors from our lives they begin to add up and hinder our bodies from functioning at it’s most optimal capacity. Here are some examples of stressors in our lives today:
Poor posture due to an occupation at the computer or desk
Emotional or physical stress
Chemical ridden diets
Dehydration
Lack of exercise
Lack of rest
Sports injuries
Pregnancy
Invasive labor and delivery for the infant or mother
Smoking
Excessive alcoholic drinking habits
The list could go on, but the good news is that maintaining healthy lifestyles along the way and getting adjusted can help the body adapt easier at a biomechanical and neurological level. Growing up I didn’t know this, because I only thought chiropractic was about disc herniations and alleviating of excruciating pain. And though it does help with those things, I have learned patients receive more value than originally perceived.
I actual didn’t receive my first chiropractic adjustment until I was 19 after deciding to pick up guitar in college. Dr. Greg Pizzolato was my first chiropractor from Houma, LA. At the time, the pain wasn’t the concern, but the muscular fatigue, imbalance through my pelvis, and trigger points (or “knots”) that I was experiencing in my low back was getting my attention. I just really needed to know what was going on. Pain wasn’t the issue as much as the unknown was.
I so relate to my patients today because of this topic specifically - “What is wrong with me?” I love that your question is, “What’s going on, Doc?” I love that your are interested, that you want to learn, that you want me to write it down so you can talk with your husband, wife, mom, dad, daughter, son, etc. Patients today are getting more involved in their appointments with their MDs, DCs, DDSs and truly taking control of their health. I love that I can be a listening ear and professional resource for you! Let’s continue to remove the noise in our lives, clean up our diets, connect with our peers and family members, rest more, etc. To be quite frank, by doing this in my own life, I have been able to think more clearly, make better decisions, and most importantly love more, especially those closest to me who need it. Trust your body’s natural ability to heal. Feed it life giving foods, stay active, think positively, reduce stress, and believe that your body is capable.
