Kalispell and Columbia Falls

Why Kalispell and Columbia Falls patients choose video.

Kalispell is the working center of the Flathead Valley: stores along Highway 93, health care, construction and timber jobs, and new subdivisions spreading over old hayfields on every side of town. Columbia Falls and the Canyon towns of Hungry Horse and Martin City live on Glacier summers and long, snowy winters. Two working parents, a long list of errands and a babysitter on the clock are the norm. Postpartum and C-section recovery, overactive bladder and back pain from physical jobs are typical reasons to book from the valley.

One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Montana: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
