Salisbury and Wicomico County
Why Wicomico County patients choose video.
Salisbury is the Lower Shore's crossroads, where Route 13 meets Route 50, with a university, a regional hospital and poultry companies anchoring the economy. Neighborhoods spread toward Fruitland and Delmar, which straddles the Delaware line, and the farm towns of eastern Wicomico. Young families, university staff and shift workers keep full schedules, and Baltimore is a long drive back across the Bay Bridge. Postpartum recovery, pregnancy pelvic pain, low back pain and constipation are common reasons people here book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
