Miles City, Forsyth and Colstrip
Why Miles City, Forsyth and Colstrip patients choose video.
Miles City is cattle country through and through: the Bucking Horse Sale every May, livestock auctions, and ranches running across sagebrush and breaks where the Tongue River meets the Yellowstone. Forsyth, 45 miles upriver on Interstate 94, is a railroad and ranch town, and Colstrip to the south is built around a coal mine and power plant. Miles Community College adds students, and Billings is about two hours away. Hip and knee pain, bladder leaking and recovery after a baby 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.

Questions
Questions from Miles City, Forsyth and Colstrip
Can a nursing mom in Miles City do visits with the baby in the room?
Yes. The baby can be in the room, and sessions can pause for a feed. Postpartum visits happen by video from home, so there is no packing up a newborn for the drive across town.
Do you treat hip and knee pain from years of ranch work or rodeo?
Yes. Hip and knee pain is treated by video from home, including rehab after a replacement once the surgeon clears outpatient physical therapy. The plan is built around the work that still needs doing.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
