Anaconda, Deer Lodge and Philipsburg
Why Anaconda, Deer Lodge and Philipsburg patients choose video.
These are old smelter, prison and silver towns along the upper Clark Fork. The Anaconda Stack still stands over the Deer Lodge Valley, the Old Montana Prison and its museums anchor Deer Lodge, and Philipsburg's restored downtown and candy store pull in summer crowds. Georgetown Lake and the runs at Discovery sit between them. Retired miners, ranchers, corrections staff and young families make up the towns. Back pain, knee pain, recovery after prostate surgery and bladder leaking are among the 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 Anaconda, Deer Lodge and Philipsburg
Can visits happen from a cabin at Georgetown Lake in the winter?
Yes, if the cabin has internet or a usable cell signal, since cellular data often works. A phone or laptop with a camera, a private room and floor space for a mat are all that is needed.

Yes. Every visit, from the 60-minute evaluation through each 45-minute follow-up, is one-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem herself, a female Doctor of Physical Therapy licensed in Montana.
