Find the Root Cause of Your Pain with Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) in Austin, TX

Physical pain often has an emotional or chemical root. We help you identify, process, and release the lingering physiological stress that traditional chiropractic care can’t reach.

Are You Stuck in a Cycle of Chronic Pain and Stress?

If you are reading this, chances are you have already tried everything. You’ve done the physical therapy, taken the medications, and maybe even tried traditional, quick-adjustment chiropractic care.

You might get a few days of relief, but the pain, tension, or exhaustion always comes back. It feels like you are stuck on a medical merry-go-round.

Why does this happen? Because if your physical pain is actually being driven by underlying chemical imbalances or unresolved emotional stress, a purely physical treatment will never be a permanent fix. When you experience chronic stress or trauma, your nervous system can get stuck in a “fight or flight” loop.

That trapped neurological stress doesn’t just stay in your head—it manifests in your body.

It looks and feels like:

  • Stubborn, recurring neck and lower back pain that won’t hold an adjustment.
  • Tension headaches and migraines that strike when you are overwhelmed.
  • Unexplained digestive issues, such as bloating, reflux, or stomach knots.
  • Chronic fatigue, burnout, and brain fog even after a full night’s sleep.
  • A constant feeling of being “on edge,” where your shoulders are always tight and your muscles simply cannot relax.

If this sounds exactly like what you have been experiencing, we want you to know two things: It is not just in your head, and you do not have to live with it.

What is Neuro Emotional Technique (NET)?

While the name might sound complex, the reality of Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is actually very straightforward: Emotions can cause physiological stress on your body. When you
experience a stressful event—whether it is a major trauma, chronic workplace burnout, or a passing argument—your body releases a cascade of stress chemicals (neuropeptides). In a perfect world, once the stress passes, those chemicals dissipate, and your nervous system goes back to normal.

But sometimes, when we are overwhelmed, our bodies fail to fully process that chemical response. The stress gets “stuck” in our nervous system, essentially short-circuiting our physical biology. This trapped stress creates chronic muscle tension, spinal misalignments, and organ dysfunction that traditional physical treatments simply cannot fix.

How the NET Process Works:

NET is a safe, scientifically backed methodology designed to find and fix these exact neurological glitches. Here is how Dr. Jeff Ulery helps your body finally let go:

  • We Bypass the Guesswork: Instead of spending hours talking through your history, we use a simple, painless process called muscle testing (Applied Kinesiology). Your muscles will physically weaken when your nervous system is exposed to a stressor, allowing us to pinpoint exactly what your body is holding onto.
  • We Locate the Short-Circuit: Once we find the specific stress response, we identify where it is manifesting in your body. (For example, chronic anger often stores tension in the liver meridian, while fear can affect the kidneys or lower back).
  • We Clear the Neurological Roadblock: While you briefly hold the stressor in your mind, Dr. Ulery performs a gentle, targeted chiropractic adjustment to your spine or specific reflex points. This signals your nervous system to finally process and release the trapped chemistry.

The result? The neurological “glitch” is cleared. Your muscles relax, your spine can hold its proper alignment, and your body is finally free to do what it does best.

Dr. Jeff Ulery’s Approach: The Triad of Health

If you have been struggling with chronic pain or burnout, you have likely been treating your symptoms in isolation. You might see a traditional chiropractor for your back pain, a nutritionist for your diet, and a therapist for your stress.

The problem? Your body doesn’t operate in isolated silos. Everything is connected. At Whole Body Health, Dr. Jeff Ulery uses a foundational philosophy called the Triad of
Health
. Imagine your health as a triangle. If one side is weak or out of balance, the entire structure collapses. To achieve true, permanent healing, we must evaluate and treat all three sides simultaneously:

  • The Structural (Physical): This is the foundation. It involves your bones, muscles, joints, and nervous system. We use gentle, highly specific chiropractic adjustments to correct misalignments, restore proper biomechanics, and remove physical interference so your body can function optimally.
  • The Chemical (Nutritional): This is what fuels your body. Chronic pain is often fueled by underlying inflammation, hidden toxicities, or severe nutritional deficiencies. We evaluate your body’s chemistry and use whole-food nutritional therapy and functional medicine to give your organs the exact support they need to recover.
  • The Emotional (NET): This is the missing link for most chronic pain patients. Unresolved mental stress, trauma, and a dysregulated nervous system will constantly sabotage your physical and chemical health. Using Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), we clear these neurological roadblocks so your body can finally stop fighting itself.

Most clinics only focus on the structural side. But when you only treat one-third of the problem, you only get one-third of the results. By addressing the physical, chemical, and emotional layers together, we don’t just patch up your symptoms—we rebuild your health from the ground up.

Triad of Health

I have been a patient of Dr. Ulery for the past 22 years, and it’s hard to put into words just how much of a positive impact they have had on my life.

Their dedication to health and wellness goes far beyond routine care. I consistently feel heard, supported, and empowered after every visit.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. [Name] to anyone looking for a health and wellness doctor who is skilled, compassionate, and truly committed to their patients’ well-being.

This is going to be a long review because I cannot say enough great things about Whole Body Health and Dr Jeff. I came in with a sudden case of vertigo and was fortunate to be seen the same day. Remarkably, my vertigo went away after just one visit. Because of lingering neck pain from an old whiplash injury I decided to continue care and am so glad I did. Dr Jeff’s approach is truly holistic. He gets to the root cause of the problem and works with you to resolve it. He taught me how to sleep properly to support my neck, and even helped me with tools to better manage stress. One day I came in with a terrible migraine and within 15 minutes it was gone. I was fascinated. Dr Jeff is unique. He treats the whole body and mind, not just the pain point. He and his wife Judy are both wonderful and welcoming. Whatever your ailment, give Whole Body Health a try. They’ve made a real difference for me.

I was skeptical about working with a chiropractor, but my pain was so intense and another back surgery was impending, so based on urging from a friend, I went to Whole Body Heath. Jeff Ulrey worked with me. He spent time helping me with exercises. After four visits, I was almost pain free. He gave me exercises and my posture has improved. He coached me in making some important changes. He and his staff truly take a holistic approach in helping their patients. I encourage you to meet with Jeff Urley and his staff!

I cannot recommend Dr. Ulery highly enough! Over the past year, I’ve experienced more progress toward feeling vibrant, strong, and healthy than I did in the previous ten years combined. Dr. Ulery’s intuition and amazingly well-rounded approach to care have changed my life. During our sessions, he incorporates various methods depending on what I need that day and always takes the time to teach me what I can do at home. I’ve seen incredible improvements in my gut, adrenals, sinuses, neck, and back, among others. NET (Neuro Emotional Technique) in particular, has been a game-changer. It’s hard to describe how transformative this has been for both my physical and emotional well-being. Dr. Ulery is kind, calm, and wise. His office space and treatment rooms are comfortable and relaxing. His office staff is equally wonderful—always friendly, professional, and accommodating. Celina, in particular, has been patient and helpful when adjusting my appointments to fit my busy work schedule. I’m so grateful for Dr. Ulery and cannot recommend him more highly!

The decision I made to go to Whole Body Health was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It has been a long time since I have been able to walk a mile without back pain and almost immediately I was able to do that mile pain free. Dr. Jeff is a former teacher and it shows in his approach to treatment. He wants you to really understand why you are in pain and he carefully explains simple techniques that you can use in your daily life to improve your pain level. You walk out of your first appointment with a pamphlet containing QR coded videos that are so helpful in reminding you how to safely practice the techniques at home. I overuse the word “magical” during every single session because that’s what it feels like to me. The staff (Dr. Jeff’s wife, Judy, and Celina, the first person you meet) is as wonderful as Dr. Jeff and they provide the welcoming environment that you will notice as soon as you walk in!

Frequently Asked Questions About NET

What should I expect during my first NET session?

Your first session is all about discovering what your body is holding onto. Dr. Ulery will use a painless, straightforward process called muscle testing (Applied Kinesiology) to evaluate your body’s physiological response to different stressors. Once we identify the specific emotion or stressor linked to your physical symptom, we use a gentle structural adjustment to help your nervous system finally “let go” and reset. It is a safe, gentle, and deeply relieving process.

Is NET the same as talk therapy or counseling?

No, and this is a very important distinction. NET is a physiological therapy, not a psychological one. While talk therapy focuses on the mind and processing the story of your stress, NET focuses entirely on the body. You do not have to relive past traumas or spend hours talking about your feelings. We are simply identifying the physical “glitch” in your nervous system and clearing it so your body can recover.

How many NET sessions will I need?

Because every patient’s history, chemical balance, and stress levels are completely unique, there is no one-size-fits-all timeline. Some patients experience profound, immediate relief from a specific physical pain after just one or two sessions. For deeper, chronic, or multi-layered issues, we usually recommend a series of sessions as part of a broader, whole-body healing plan. During your initial consultation, we will map out a customized timeline that makes sense for your specific goals.

Will this help with my physical back and neck pain?

Absolutely. Many patients come to us because standard chiropractic adjustments only provide temporary relief. When emotional stress or trauma gets “stuck” in the body, it creates chronic muscle tension, inflammation, and spinal subluxations. By clearing the neurological root of that stress using NET, your body can finally hold its structural alignments, leading to long-lasting relief from physical pain.

How will I feel immediately after a NET session?

Most patients describe a profound, immediate sense of “lightness” or a noticeable drop in physical tension—like a heavy weight has literally been lifted off their shoulders. Because we are shifting your nervous system out of a chronic “fight or flight” state, it is also completely normal to feel a little tired or deeply relaxed later that day as your body recalibrates and heals.

Can I do NET if I am already seeing a traditional talk therapist?

Yes, they complement each other beautifully! Many of our patients see a traditional therapist for the conscious, mental processing of their life events, while using NET to handle the unconscious, physical side of the equation. Talk therapy helps you understand the story; NET helps your physical body release the stress so you aren’t carrying it around in your muscles and organs.

Do you take insurance for NET sessions?

Because our clinic focuses on highly individualized, root-cause healing rather than the standard 5-minute traditional chiropractic model, we are an out-of-network provider. This allows Dr. Ulery to spend the necessary time to truly uncover your specific structural, chemical, and emotional stressors without insurance companies dictating your care. However, we happily accept HSA and FSA cards, and we can provide you with a superbill upon request to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

Ready to Address the Whole Picture?

Living with chronic pain, brain fog, or an overwhelmed nervous system is exhausting—especially when it feels like nobody has the answers. But you do not have to accept this as your
“new normal.”

At Whole Body Health, we believe that when you give the body exactly what it needs structurally, chemically, and emotionally, it has an incredible capacity to heal itself. You just need a practitioner who is willing to look at the whole picture.

If you are ready to finally find the root cause of your symptoms and release the stress your body has been holding onto, we are here to help.

Take the first step toward true, lasting relief today.
