3 leeches placed to relieve shoulder pain
We have just completed set up for hirudotherapy in our San Mateo office. Hirudotherapy (more commonly known as leech therapy) has proven to be effective in treatment of multiple chronic pain conditions. Here is a link to an article from the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center at Harvard about its effects on arthritic pain. We are proud to be the first medical practice in the San Francisco Bay Area to offer this unique treatment to our patients. We have already seen a great response to hirudotherapy from our patients suffering from osteoarthritis and pain related to physical trauma. To find out more or to reserve your leeches please call our office at 650 276 5171.

This is awesome! I heard about leech therapy for osteoarthritis before but was not able to find it any closer to here than in New York. Thank you!
Do leeches really work for osteoarthritis pain? Nothing else seems to, so I would love to give it a try. Leeches for pain definitely sounds better to me than being on pain killers all the time or suffering.
