I think you're right. I've written medical kink in HP, and it was very hard to make it hands-on; it only worked because it was Snape with a goal of humiliation, and he chose not to use magical methods. We haven't seen many injuries or illnesses in canon that can't be cured quickly and easily, and even the ones that are difficult don't seem to involve much physical contact -- like the basilisk victims in CoS.
In fact wizards seem to react with horror at the 'hands-on' nature of muggle medicine, as we see with Arthur's stitches. It just feels like wizards should reach for a magical solution, and if there isn't one... they try more magic or give up. Which is a shame because... medical kink!
I'd like to know what pegging is too... it seems to me I know this, but all I can think of now is cribbage. And pirates. And pirates playing cribbage.
