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 is fantastic and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him for chiropractic care.
I started seeing Dr Emmerich for neuropathy. I was in constant pain even though I had very little feeling in my feet. In just 3 months the pain is gone and I have feeling in my feet.
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.
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.
Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Dr Lucas does a great job going through everything and explaining your plan of care. He does so much more than any chiropractor I've been to in the past.
If you are on the fence about visiting a chiro, this is your sign to do it!! I am SO glad I found Central Health.
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!
My monthly adjustments keep my body feeling great and allow me to still enjoy all of my favorite outdoor activities without the lingering pain.
Dr Lucas is great to work with! Very friendly, and knowledgeable, makes you feel at ease! I would highly recommend him!
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 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.
