Hagerstown, Boonsboro and Williamsport
Why Washington County patients choose video.
Washington County fills the Hagerstown Valley between South Mountain and the Potomac, a crossroads of warehouses and trucking where I-70 meets I-81. Boonsboro keeps its small Main Street below Washington Monument State Park, Smithsburg is ringed by orchards, and Williamsport sits on the C&O Canal. Many people work long shifts in distribution, manufacturing and health care. The usual reasons to book here: low back pain, sciatica, leaking and postpartum recovery.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Maryland: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
