What to Expect as a New Chiropractic Patient in Austin
Whole Body Health is a chiropractic and functional medicine practice in the Westlake area of Austin, TX. Becoming a new patient is simple: from your first phone call to your first visit with Dr. Ulery, we keep the process clear so you always know what to expect. Here is how to get started and what your first chiropractic visit looks like.
Step 1
Call to Book a New Patient Appointment
Call our Westlake clinic at (512) 328-5200 to schedule. Booking is by phone, and you can ask for a cost estimate while you schedule.
Step 2
Look for the Email to Access your New Patient Portal (zHealthEHR)
After you book, we send your intake electronically so you can complete it from your phone.
Step 3
Complete the Pre-Appointment Paperwork
Fill out your intake before you arrive, so your first visit is focused on you.
Consultation & Evaluation
first VISIT
During your examination, Dr. Ulery will discuss your condition and symptoms and perform specialized tests to assess the state of certain tissues. In certain cases, your condition may require x-rays or other diagnostic tests to either rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective care for you. Your plan will be individually tailored to you and may involve one or multiple visits. In all cases, you will be confident in knowing that you are receiving the utmost care from an expert in his field.
Dr. Ulery will examine your muscle balance and spine for misalignments, nerve interference, and abnormal posture. He may check for sensitivity to electro-magnetic pollution as well as organ reflexes, gland weakness, food and environmental sensitivities, infective organisms, adrenal gland dysfunction, and heavy metal toxicity.
Functional Medicine Testing at Your First Visit
As a functional medicine practice, we look beyond the spine for the root cause of your symptoms. Dr. Ulery may check organ reflexes, gland function, food and environmental sensitivities, and other factors, then recommend nutritional support based on what he finds.
Follow-Up
SECOND VISIT
After your first appointment, you will be given a convenient appointment time for your follow-up visit. In most cases, patients are seen within one to two days after their initial consultation and evaluation. Dr. Ulery will provide his examination findings and present you with treatment options for your condition.
The Key To Achieving WELLNESS SUCCESS
Ongoing Chiropractic & Functional Medicine Care
The key to success with your health depends on you as much as your doctor. During your visits to Whole Body Health, you will be advised of specific practices to follow after you leave the office. These may include ice or heat application, avoiding certain activities, substances, or foods, and home exercises or stretches you will be taught to improve your overall wellness. Your treatment continues until you meet all of your health goals. As Whole Body Health practitioners, we evaluate the Six Interferences to Wellness to find the cause of your condition rather than focusing only on the symptoms. Because we combine chiropractic care with functional medicine, that root-cause work can also include nutritional support and lifestyle changes.
Approximately every thirty days, Dr. Ulery will re-evaluate your progress to make sure you are improving as expected.
We offer a complimentary fifteen-minute phone consultation so you can meet with Dr. Ulery and discuss the services Whole Body Health offers. Mention “fifteen-minute phone consultation” when you call the office to receive this service. There is no examination or treatment during this appointment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How do I become a new patient at Whole Body Health?
A: Getting started takes three steps: call (512) 328-5200 to book, watch for your intake link sent electronically after you book, and complete your paperwork before you arrive. Booking is by phone.
Q: What should I expect at my first chiropractic visit?
A: Dr. Ulery starts by listening to your concerns and asking questions, then performs an exam to find the underlying cause of your symptoms, checking muscle balance, spine alignment, nerve function, and posture. He may also run functional-medicine checks such as food and environmental sensitivities and gland function. If time allows, he may begin a short initial treatment to get you started.
Q: Do I need X-rays or lab tests before treatment starts?
A: Not always. X-rays or other diagnostics are ordered only when they are needed to rule out more serious conditions or to shape your care plan.
Q: How many visits will I need, and how soon will I feel better?
A: Your plan is tailored to you and may involve one or several visits. How quickly you feel better varies by person and condition. Dr. Ulery re-evaluates your progress roughly every 30 days until you meet your health goals.
Q: How much does a first visit cost?
A: Your first visit is longer and more thorough than a regular visit, since it includes a full evaluation and exam, so it costs more than a standard appointment. Pricing depends on the reason for your visit. Call the office for an estimate when you schedule.
Q: Do you accept insurance?
A: Whole Body Health accepts insurance from many, though not all, providers. Call the office to confirm whether your plan is accepted.
