I see this is osteopath, and everytime he inserts the needles into my back and takes them out.. my back bleeds a lot..i find that he keeps wiping my back down. is it common for this to happen?

Yes, there can be a little blood. It sounds okay. You should not be using aspirin or bloodthinners, uless required. Have your BP checked, and lab work done to ensure your health and diagnostics.
