Astoria, Seaside and Cannon Beach
Why North Coast patients choose video.
Clatsop County is fishing boats and freighters at the mouth of the Columbia, the Astoria Column above town, the Megler Bridge to Washington, the Prom in Seaside and Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach. Winters bring wind and sideways rain; summers bring visitors and second-home owners. Many locals work in hospitality, fishing or the trades, and Portland is about two hours away. Postpartum recovery, leaking, low back pain and shoulder pain from boat and kitchen work are common reasons people here book.
One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Oregon: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.

Questions
Questions from Astoria, Seaside and Cannon Beach
Can second-home owners in Cannon Beach have visits while at the coast?
Yes. The only rule is location: the patient must be physically in Oregon at the time of each visit, whether that is the beach house or home in Portland.
Do you treat back and shoulder pain from fishing and boat work?
Yes. Orthopedic care covers back, neck and shoulder problems from physical work. Dr. Shalem assesses movement on video and fits exercises around a fishing season or a restaurant shift.
How soon can I be seen?
Usually within a week. Early morning, evening and weekend video visits are available.
