Questions
Common Questions
Do I need a GP referral?
Yes, you will need a GP referral so we can review your full medical history before your appointment. Ask your GP to refer you to Beacon Pain Clinic, and then book your consultation here or call us on 01 293 7177.
Is it covered by insurance?
We accept all the major insurers. We recommend checking with your insurer to confirm what's covered under your specific policy.
How soon can I get seen?
Usually within 1 to 2 weeks. If it's urgent, let us know and we'll try to fit you in sooner.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your first visit lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. The specialist will go through your medical history, carry out an examination, and discuss your symptoms with you. From there, we create a tailored pain management plan designed around what will work best for you.
Can neck pain cause headaches?
Yes, this is very common. When neck joints or muscles are tight or inflamed, pain can travel up into the head. This is called a cervicogenic headache. We treat both the neck and headache together.
Will I need an MRI or X-ray?
Not always. The specialist will decide based on your symptoms and examination. If imaging is needed, we can arrange it quickly.
