Care that starts with a conversation.
Structural chiropractic care in Altoona, Wisconsin. 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.
Shockwave Therapy
New at Central Health. A non-surgical option for stubborn tendon and muscle pain. Short sessions, no needles, no medication. It is often used for heel pain, tendinitis, and chronic muscle knots that have not responded to anything else.
Chiropractic care and spinal decompression
Precise, gentle adjustments that address the structure of the spine, not just the sore spot. For disc and nerve pain, spinal decompression adds gentle traction that takes pressure off the area so it can heal.
Neuropathy and knee pain
Numbness, tingling, or burning in the feet and hands, and knees that ache with every step. These are two areas Dr. Emmerich has focused on for years, with options that do not involve surgery or a prescription.
Your first visit
Three steps, and the first one is free.
Free consultation
We sit down and talk about what is going on, how long it has been going on, and what you have already tried. No obligation.
Exam and plan
A focused exam, X-rays if they are needed, and a clear explanation of what we found and what we recommend.
Care
Treatment that fits the findings, with progress checked along the way so you always know where you stand.

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.
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.
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!
