Great Falls
Why Great Falls patients choose video.
Great Falls spreads along the Missouri where the river drops over a series of falls, most of them now harnessed by dams, which is how it became the Electric City. The River's Edge Trail links Giant Springs, the dams and downtown, the C.M. Russell Museum keeps the cowboy-art history, and wheat country rolls out in every direction. Health care, agriculture and retail are the big employers, and the state fair fills ExpoPark each summer. Pregnancy pain, postpartum recovery, bladder leaking and back pain are common reasons people here book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Montana: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
