Back pain is one of the most common conditions treated at Satori Clinic in Macroom, Co. Cork — and one of the conditions where acupuncture consistently delivers the most impressive results. Whether you're dealing with acute lower back pain, a longstanding chronic condition, or a recurring problem that flares up unpredictably, TCM offers an effective, drug-free approach.
Acupuncture reduces inflammation, releases muscle tension, improves blood flow to injured tissue, and stimulates the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms. For many patients with back pain in Cork, it provides relief that conventional treatment — physiotherapy, pain medication, or rest — hasn't been able to fully achieve.
Cupping therapy is frequently used alongside acupuncture for back pain, particularly where there is deep muscle tension, restricted mobility, or referred pain down the leg. The combination of both treatments often produces faster and more lasting results.
Gregg Hartnett at Satori Clinic assesses each patient individually. He looks at the specific nature and cause of your back pain — whether it's muscular, structural, stress-related, or post-injury — and designs a treatment plan accordingly.

I remember arriving in my first appointment and the pain was so strong that I hardly could explain to him what was happening to me. After the first session was done, I already could feel the pain relief almost immediately. After that, we just needed one more session and it was like all the pain had magically disappeared and I could move, sit and exercise perfectly again without any discomfort.
I took the decision to search for a Natural alterative and I came across Gregg’s Clinic. I decided to go for my first session and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I felt a good release from it after the first session, so I decided to keep my treatments going until I was completely fine to start back with my daily routine. I honestly I cannot ask for more, it help me so much that I decided to keep regular sessions to maintain my health.
Greg has helped me over a long time for many reasons. Most recently, I went to him for postpartum care which certainly helped my recovery, and indeed during pregnancy to aid the onset of labour! Over a number of years, I learned from him about foods that benefit my personal constitution, nothing radical, just easy changes that have helped elevate my overall health.
I highly recommend going to Greg for any or all ailments to support your wellbeing!
