Sciatica is one of the most painful and limiting conditions Gregg Hartnett treats at Satori Clinic in Macroom — and one of the conditions that responds particularly well to acupuncture. If you're dealing with the sharp, burning, or shooting pain of sciatica in Macroom or the surrounding area, relief may be closer than you think.
Acupuncture treats sciatica by reducing inflammation around the sciatic nerve, releasing the muscular tension and compression that aggravate it, and stimulating the body's natural healing and pain-modulation systems. Unlike painkillers, which mask the symptom, acupuncture works with your body to address the actual cause of the nerve irritation.
Gregg takes a thorough diagnostic approach to each sciatica case — identifying whether the issue originates at the lumbar spine, the sacroiliac joint, or the piriformis muscle, and designing treatment accordingly. Cupping and gua sha are often used in combination with acupuncture for faster, more complete relief.
Many patients with sciatica in Macroom have found lasting relief at Satori Clinic after months or years of struggling with the condition. Contact us today to book your appointment and take the first step toward recovery.

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!
