Q&A: Back Pain Leech Therapy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How soon will I feel relief? | Many clients notice reduced tension during the first session. Pain often halves within 24 hours. |
| Does the therapy hurt? | Leeches bite like a quick pinprick, then release a mild anesthetic. Most people feel only warmth. |
| How many sessions do I need? | Acute strains may clear in one or two visits. Chronic disc issues may need a monthly plan for three months. |
| Is it safe for slipped discs? | Yes, provided there is no active infection. We coordinate with your GP or physio. |
| Will I bleed after treatment? | A light ooze can last up to 12 hours. Sterile pads and a simple bandage manage it easily. |
| Can I work out afterward? | Wait 24 hours before intense exercise. Gentle stretching and walking are fine. |
| Who should avoid leech therapy? | Clients on strong blood thinners, with hemophilia, or severe anemia should seek medical clearance first. |
| How do I prepare? | Stay hydrated, skip high-fat meals, and wear loose clothing that exposes the lower back. |
| Is there any scarring? | Tiny marks fade within weeks. Keeping the area clean speeds recovery. |
| What if I’m squeamish? | We explain each step, play soft music, and use minimal lighting. You can look away or relax with headphones. |
