Springfield and Cottage Grove
Why Springfield and Cottage Grove patients choose video.
Springfield is the working half of the metro, with mill history, Thurston's neighborhoods climbing toward the hills, the hazelnut orchards at Dorris Ranch and Highway 126 heading up the McKenzie. South on I-5, Creswell sits among more orchards, and Cottage Grove keeps its covered bridges and the Row River Trail out to Dorena Lake. Many residents lift, drive or stand for a living. Low back pain, sciatica, postpartum recovery and constipation 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.
