Havre, Chinook and the Hi-Line
Why Hi-Line patients choose video.
The Hi-Line is a chain of grain towns along US 2 and the BNSF main line, each marked by its elevators, with the Milk River below and the Bears Paw Mountains rising south of Havre. Havre is the hub, with MSU-Northern, the rail yard and the stores, and the Empire Builder stops at the depot. Wheat, durum, pulse crops and cattle run the economy, and the wind is a constant. Bladder leaking, pain with intercourse, back pain and urinary urgency in men are common reasons people along the Hi-Line book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Montana: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions
Questions from Havre, Chinook and the Hi-Line
Can pain with intercourse be treated by video from Havre?
Yes. Pain with intercourse is treated one-on-one on a private, HIPAA-compliant video platform with nothing recorded. An internal exam is not possible by video; if a hands-on assessment would change the plan, Dr. Shalem says so and helps coordinate local care.
Can a Havre mom with pelvic pain months after birth be seen by video?
Yes. Pelvic pain, pain with sitting and scar tightness after a vaginal birth or C-section are treated by video, whether the birth was months or years ago. A baby can be in the room, and sessions can pause for a feed.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
