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.

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!!
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!
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!
Doctor Lucas has relieved my back pain and headaches. And the front desk was very helpful from the beginning. 10/10 recommend going to Central Health!
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.
Dr Lucas is so kind, efficient, and knowledgeable! He treated both myself and my newborn with equal expertise. Can't recommend him enough!
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.
Kind, caring, and compassionate. Lucas is an awesome doctor who truly cares about each of his patients' health goals. I would recommend him to anyone living with pain or trying to achieve optimal wellness.
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 is great to work with! Very friendly, and knowledgeable, makes you feel at ease! I would highly recommend him!
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.
