Care that starts with a conversation.
Structural chiropractic care in Altoona, a few minutes from Eau Claire, for back pain, headaches, numb feet, and knees that hurt. Dr. Lucas Emmerich takes the time to find out what is actually going on before anyone gets adjusted.
Hi, I'm Dr. Lucas Emmerich.
I opened Central Health because I wanted a practice where nobody gets rushed through.
Every plan here starts with a conversation and an exam, so the care fits the person instead of the other way around. I work with families, athletes, expecting mothers, and a lot of people who were told to just live with it.
What people come in for
In their words. Each one opens to what is usually behind it.
Not on the list? Come in anyway. If it is not something I treat, I will say so and point you to someone who does.
Not offered everywhere
Shockwave therapy
For tendon and joint pain that has gone on for months and not moved with the usual treatments: heel pain, Achilles and elbow tendons, a shoulder that catches, knees that will not settle. Short sessions, no needles, no medication.

In their words, straight from Google.
Dr. Lucas saved me after a back injury. Everyone at Central Health is so kind and compassionate. I will forever be grateful to Central Health!
Dr. Lucas has helped me tremendously throughout my pregnancy. He listens to my needs and takes the time to explain his approach each time I visit.
I have been treated by Dr. Emmerich for a few weeks. Unlike other providers I have been to, he has already made a significant difference in my life.
I get excellent care and results at Central Health from Dr. Emmerich!
Dr Lucas is fantastic and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him for chiropractic care.
Exceeded expectations! Dr Lucas is smart, thoughtful, careful, experienced, and a good listener as he joins with his patients to support greater quality of life.
From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. Dr Lucas took the time to listen to my concerns and provided a thorough evaluation. I highly recommend Central Health to anyone seeking chiropractic care.
He listens to your concerns and goals and helps come up with a treatment plan that fits your needs. He is very knowledgeable and kind and I always feel so much better walking out of his office!
Dr Lucas is awesome, what a great chiropractor. I have been having pain in my lower back for a while and I just couldn't find someone that was able to help me relieve my pain.
My monthly adjustments keep my body feeling great and allow me to still enjoy all of my favorite outdoor activities without the lingering pain.
I have been struggling with neuropathy for about 2 years and looking for something other than meds to cope with foot numbness and pain. I was happy to find a doctor who knew about neuropathy and offered a different path.
Always greeted with a smile when entering. Dr. Lucas thoroughly explains his plan of treatment and how he will help his patients with their pain management. Highly recommended!!
