Richmond Muscle and Tendon Clinic

Acupuncture, Massage Therapy and EIMS Treatment

Richmond Muscle and Tendon Clinic was founded by Dr. Nikolay Yelizarov, a physician and registered acupuncturist who developed EIMS, a proprietary technique combining acupuncture and electrical stimulation to speed healing and reduce pain from sports, work, and car accident injuries. The clinic treats migraines, osteochondrosis, osteoarthritis, and post-injury conditions with a multilingual team offering acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and registered massage therapy, with direct billing and ICBC coverage available.

Some clinics treat symptoms; Richmond Muscle and Tendon Clinic was built around actually fixing the underlying injury. Founder Dr. Nikolay Yelizarov, a physician with an MD from Astrakhan Medical University and a Registered Acupuncturist with CTCMA BC, spent years treating muscle and tendon strain injuries before developing EIMS™ - a technique that combines acupuncture with electrical stimulation to improve circulation in the injured area and dramatically cut healing time. He's since trained the clinic's practitioners directly in the method, so his approach is still very much how the clinic operates today.

Services include:
- EIMS acupuncture for sports, work, and car accident injuries
- Traditional Chinese Medicine and general acupuncture
- Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)
- Treatment for migraines, osteochondrosis, and osteoarthritis
- Kinesiology

The clinic is an ICBC Recovery Network member with direct billing available, and the team speaks English, Russian, Bulgarian and Kyrgyz - so getting the right treatment doesn't come with a language barrier on top of the injury. Sunday appointments available.
