We start with a proper history
Where it hurts, how long it has been there, what you have already tried. That is how we decide what is worth doing.
Interventional pain clinic, Dublin
Beacon Pain Clinic
Pain is personal. Your treatment should be too.
If your pain is not getting better, it may be time to look at it differently. A pain doctor can help work out what is causing your pain, why it may be continuing, and which treatments are most likely to help. The aim is to give you a clear plan, reduce the impact of pain on your life and help break the pain cycle.
Care
How a pain consultant works with you
Nothing is guessed. Your consultant builds the picture, then the plan.
Typically one to two weeks of waiting time
Most people are seen within that window. Request a time that suits you.
Scan review & second opinion
Bring MRI, CT or X-ray if you have them. Your consultant will read them with you and say what they mean for treatment.
Pain management plan
You leave with a personalised plan around your needs, goals and preferences, using minimally invasive procedures to break the pain cycle.
Follow-up is part of the plan
Pain treatment can take more than one step. We review your progress, adjust the plan when needed, and make sure you always know what comes next.

Patient information
Questions before your appointment?
What is the price of a consultation?
€350 for the first consultation, paid on the day. You have 30 to 45 minutes with a pain consultant. They take a full history, review MRI, CT or X-ray if you bring them, and give you a plan. You leave with a receipt for your insurer.
Do I need a GP referral?
A GP referral is required for insurance cover of any treatments or procedures. If you are self-paying, a GP referral may not be required. Bring reports, scans and a list of medicines. You can upload a referral when you request a consultation, or your GP can send it through our GP portal or by post. If you are unsure, call 01 293 7177.
Which health insurance do you accept?
We accept VHI, Laya Healthcare, Irish Life Health, Glo Health, POMAS and Garda Medical Aid, and other Irish policies. Check what your own policy covers. Pay on the day and use the receipt to claim.
Can I attend without health insurance?
Yes. Self-pay patients are welcome. A GP referral may not be required. Bring reports, scans and a list of medicines. The first visit is €350, paid on the day. Your consultant will go through treatment options and any further costs then.
Do you offer a second opinion on MRI or scans?
Yes. Bring the disc or the report. Your consultant will go through the images and what they mean for your pain. This is part of the first visit.
What is included in a pain management plan?
You leave with a plan built around your symptoms, what you want to get back to, and treatments that fit. Often that means minimally invasive procedures. Sleep and the habits around pain can sit in that plan. Review visits are booked so we can change course if needed.
What happens during my first appointment?
Thirty to 45 minutes with your consultant. History, examination, scans if you have them, then a plan.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Typically one to two weeks. Submit an appointment request online or call 01 293 7177. Urgent cases can be seen sooner.
What should I bring to my appointment?
A list of current medicines. MRI, CT or X-ray scans or reports if you have them. Insurance details if you have cover, and your GP referral letter if you are claiming. Arrive 15 minutes early.
