Dillon and Beaverhead County
Why Beaverhead County patients choose video.
Beaverhead is Montana's largest county by area and one of its emptiest: ranches along the Beaverhead and Big Hole rivers, the Pioneer Mountains, the Bannack ghost town and long stretches of Interstate 15 toward the Idaho line. Dillon is the hub, with University of Montana Western and the grocery stores. In the Big Hole, beaverslide haystacks dot the meadows, and winter mornings around Wisdom are among the coldest in the lower 48. Low back pain, knee pain, postpartum recovery and pelvic floor-related erectile problems 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.
