Victoria’s Diversified Health Clinic is the first location on Vancouver Island to offer eToims, a new non-invasive treatment for pain and inflammation in the body’s soft and connective tissues.
When you irritate or damage a nerve, muscle fibers close around the nerve fibers like a fist. eToims uses an electrical pulse that uncurls the fist from the nerve fibers, thus relieving your muscle pain and restoring function, mobility and quality of life.
Compared to IMS needling treatments, eToims is non-invasive, and many patients report actually falling asleep during the process!
eToims or IMS?
Both aim to release tight, painful muscles that irritate nerves. IMS and dry needling use fine needles. eToims uses brief electrical pulses on the skin instead, so it’s a good option if you’d rather avoid needles.
Common uses
- Ongoing back pain and sciatica
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Muscle tightness and chronic pain
eToims FAQs
Does eToims use needles?
No. It’s non-invasive. The pulses cause muscle twitches, and many people find it relaxing.
How is eToims different from a TENS machine?
TENS uses low-level current to dull pain. eToims uses stronger, brief pulses aimed at tight muscles to help them release.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on how long you’ve had your pain. We’ll recommend a plan after your assessment.

What is eToims and how does it work?
Using specialized medical equipment, eToims sends very brief but strong electrical pulses to the areas of irritated nerves. This stimulation causes the muscle to twitch, or contract, and then relax. This focused exercising of the muscle at numerous points throughout the muscle relieves the associated pain.
Traditionally this treatment has involved the use of acupuncture needles (Trigger Point Dry Needling, or IMS) to relieve pain. eToims is a non-invasive form of the same treatment – no needles are inserted into the skin – and is available nowhere else on Vancouver Island, and now Diversified Health offers both treatments.
eToims is great for sports injuries or the mysterious soft-tissue injuries from auto accidents that typically stump health practitioners. It is quick to diagnose and fast to heal, getting you active and back on your feet faster than conventional treatments.
