A strong history

Ruza Jelinkova created MEDISTIK after discovering that most topical analgesics only included a small amount of active ingredients that only provided short-term pain relief and were packed with fillers and non-medical ingredients.

Suffering from acute and chronic pain, as well as migraines, Ruza was concerned about the side effects of oral and prescription pain medications. She was certain there had to be a safer, better and more complete approach to pain management.

Quickly and effectively relieving muscle and joint pain was only the start. By increasing blood and oxygen flow, and targeting the enzymes that cause inflammation, the solution would reduce pain by applying it before activity and help to heal pain by targeting its source.

In 2006, after extensive research and consultations with medical practitioners, scientists and labs, Ruza launched MEDISTIK in Canada through the country's leading healthcare clinics. MEDISTIK's
3X PRIME | PERFORM | RESTORE pain management concept was born.

A single mother raising two amazing kids, Ruza expanded the line to include three formulations that are now used and sold in over 4,500 professional health clinics, pharmacies and retail stores around the world.

Determined to create a culture based on improving people’s quality of life, Ruza created the MEDISTIK Life Improvement Index. MLII is the way we monitor growth and the overall success of the company. It keeps us focused on our vision and ensures we are always doing what is best for our customers.
