Starting Your Care Journey

What should I expect when I start care?

Answer: Starting care at Early Beginnings is designed to be thorough, educational, and personalized for your family’s unique needs. Here’s exactly what happens:

Your First Visit: Comprehensive New Patient Exam (45 minutes) Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Camille where we focus entirely on understanding you and your health concerns.

We’ll talk about your current concerns, health goals, past medical history, traumas, and lifestyle factors. Dr. Camille takes time to really listen and understand your family’s unique situation.

Using gentle, specialized techniques appropriate for your condition (whether you’re pregnant, bringing a baby, or seeking family care), Dr. Camille will assess your spine, nervous system function, and overall health.

INSiGHT Nervous System Scanning: We use advanced, non-invasive technology to get an objective picture of how your nervous system is functioning. This scan provides valuable data that helps create the most effective care plan for you.

Between Your Visits: Dr. Camille takes time to thoroughly analyze all your examination findings, scan results, and health history to create a personalized care plan specifically designed for your needs and goals.

Your Second Visit: Report of Findings At this appointment, you’ll receive a comprehensive explanation of:

What we found during your examination and scans
How these findings relate to your health concerns
Your personalized care plan recommendations
Clear next steps for achieving your health goals
Your first adjustment (after you decide to move forward with care)

Beginning Your Care Journey: Once you’re comfortable with your care plan, we’ll begin the gentle, specific adjustments and support that will help you achieve your wellness goals.

This thorough process ensures you understand exactly how we can help you and feel confident in your decision to move forward with care.

Understanding Chiropractic Care

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Short Answer: Yes, chiropractic care is considered safe during pregnancy when performed by a properly trained chiropractor.

Detailed Answer: Chiropractic care during pregnancy is not only safe but can be incredibly beneficial for both mom and baby. As a Webster Technique certified chiropractor with CACCP (Certificate in Chiropractic Care of Children and Pregnancy) credentials and extensive specialized training in pregnancy care through ICPA, I use gentle, specific techniques designed for the changing needs of your body during pregnancy.

The Webster Technique I specialize in is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that helps optimize pelvic alignment and nervous system function. This gentle approach supports your body’s natural ability to adapt to the incredible changes happening during pregnancy.

Research shows that chiropractic care during pregnancy may help with:

Back and pelvic pain relief
Optimal fetal positioning
Easier labor and delivery
Reduced need for interventions

According to the American Pregnancy Association, prenatal chiropractic care can be a safe and effective way to help manage pregnancy-related discomfort.

I’ve personally experienced the benefits of chiropractic care during my own pregnancies, and I’m passionate about helping other families have the same positive experience.

What is the Webster Technique?

Short Answer: The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment that focuses on optimizing pelvic alignment and nervous system function during pregnancy.

Detailed Answer: The Webster Technique is a specialized chiropractic approach I’m certified in that focuses on analyzing and correcting sacral subluxation (misalignment) in pregnant women. This gentle technique helps optimize the function of the nervous system and improve pelvic balance.

According to the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), the Webster Technique is “a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment” designed to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation and improve neuro-biomechanical function in the pelvis.

Here’s how it works:

I assess the alignment of your pelvis and sacrum
Using gentle, specific adjustments, I help restore proper pelvic alignment
This supports optimal nervous system function and pelvic balance
Better pelvic alignment may allow your baby more room to move into the best position for birth

The Webster Technique isn’t about “turning breech babies” – it’s about optimizing your body’s function so your baby has the best environment for natural positioning. Research published in the Journal of Manipulative & Physiological Therapeutics found an 82% success rate in relieving musculoskeletal causes of intrauterine constraint.

Many families find that regular Webster Technique care helps them feel more comfortable during pregnancy and may contribute to easier labors.

As a mom of 4 who personally experienced the benefits of this technique, I’m passionate about sharing this gentle, effective approach with other families.

How can chiropractic help my baby?

Short Answer: Gentle chiropractic care can support your baby’s nervous system development and help with common issues like colic, feeding difficulties, and sleep problems.

Detailed Answer: Birth is a big event for babies too! Even the most natural birth can create stress on a baby’s delicate spine and nervous system. My specialized pediatric training (CACCP certification through ICPA) allows me to provide incredibly gentle care that supports your baby’s natural development.

Common conditions I help babies with:

Colic and excessive crying
Difficulty breastfeeding or latching
Sleep disturbances
Constipation or digestive issues
Torticollis (head tilting to one side)
General fussiness

What pediatric chiropractic looks like:

Gentle pressure (about the weight of a dime)
Specific techniques designed for babies
Focus on supporting nervous system development
Family-friendly environment where you’re always comfortable

The ICPA emphasizes that pediatric chiropractic care requires specialized training and techniques specifically designed for children’s developing bodies and nervous systems.

My own children received chiropractic care from birth, and I’ve seen firsthand how gentle adjustments can help babies thrive. The nervous system controls everything in your baby’s body – when it’s functioning optimally, babies tend to be happier, sleep better, and develop more easily.

Important note: I work closely with your pediatrician and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care for your little one.

When should I bring my baby for their first adjustment?

Short Answer: Many families choose to have their newborns checked within the first few weeks of life, but every baby is different.

Detailed Answer: As a mom of 4, I understand that every baby and every birth experience is unique. Some families bring their newborns within days of birth, while others wait a few weeks – both approaches are perfectly fine.

Consider bringing your baby sooner if:

Your labor was particularly long or difficult
Interventions were used during delivery (forceps, vacuum, C-section)
Your baby seems uncomfortable, cries excessively, or has feeding difficulties
You notice your baby favors turning their head to one side

What to expect during baby’s first visit:

Gentle evaluation of spine and nervous system
Discussion of your birth experience
Observation of baby’s movement and comfort
Incredibly light touch adjustments if needed
Education about supporting your baby’s development

Remember, the goal is always to support your baby’s natural ability to thrive and develop optimally.

Educational Resources: ICPA Patient Education Materials provide additional information about pediatric chiropractic care.

What is INSiGHT scanning technology?

Answer: “INSiGHT is advanced, non-invasive scanning technology that gives us an objective picture of how your nervous system is functioning. Think of it as a detailed report card for your spine and nervous system.

The Three Components of Your INSiGHT Scan:

Surface EMG (Electromyography): Measures muscle tension and activity along your spine, showing us how much energy your muscles are using just to hold you upright and identifying areas of imbalance or fatigue.

Thermal Scanning: Measures temperature differences along your spine, which indicate nerve dysfunction and how well your nervous system is controlling automatic functions like digestion, sleep, and immune response.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Shows how well your nervous system adapts to stress and your body’s ability to heal and recover.

Why We Use INSiGHT Scanning:

Provides objective data beyond just how you feel
Helps create the most effective care plan for your unique needs
Tracks your progress over time with measurable results
Safe for everyone – pregnant women, infants, children, and adults
No radiation, no invasive procedures, completely comfortable

The INSiGHT Subluxation Station is used by chiropractors worldwide to provide objective, reliable assessment of nervous system function.

Your scan results are presented in easy-to-understand, color-coded reports that show exactly how your nervous system is functioning and help guide your personalized care plan.

Do you accept insurance?

How often will we need to come in?

Short Answer: Treatment frequency varies based on your specific needs and goals, but we focus on getting you well and keeping you well with minimal visits.

Detailed Answer: Every family’s care plan is unique because every situation is different. During your initial consultation, I’ll assess your specific needs and create a personalized plan that makes sense for your family’s goals and lifestyle.

Typical care phases:

Initial Care: More frequent visits to address immediate concerns
Corrective Care: Regular visits to support ongoing healing and stability
Wellness Care: Periodic check-ups to maintain optimal function

Factors that influence frequency:

Your specific health concerns
How your body responds to care
Your wellness goals
Life stressors and activity level
Pregnancy progression (if applicable)

My philosophy: I want to see you as little as possible while still achieving your health goals. The goal is always to help your body function optimally so you can live your best life with your family.

We’ll regularly reassess your progress and adjust your care plan accordingly. You’re always in control of your care decisions.

Can multiple family members be seen together?

Answer: “Absolutely! We love treating families together and have designed our practice to accommodate this. Our semi-open adjusting space allows family members to be together during care, and we have a play area for children.

Many of our families find it convenient to schedule multiple family members during the same appointment time. This approach:

Makes scheduling easier for busy families
Allows children to see that chiropractic care is normal and safe
Creates a supportive family wellness environment
Builds healthy habits that families can share
