If you’re in Cave Creek or nearby communities and dealing with persistent muscle pain, spasms, or pelvic tension that won’t go away with stretching, rest, or over-the-counter meds, trigger point injections might offer the fast, effective relief you’ve been searching for.
At Advanced Hemorrhoid Centers, we’re known for our non-surgical hemorrhoid and anorectal care — but our expertise also extends to diagnosing and treating trigger points, especially when they affect the pelvic floor or contribute to chronic anorectal discomfort. Here’s what patients across Cave Creek, Scottsdale, Phoenix, and the East Valley need to know.
What Are Trigger Points?
Trigger points are tight, tender “knots” in your muscles that can cause localized or referred pain — discomfort that shows up in a different area than the actual muscle problem. In the pelvic and rectal area, these can cause:
- Deep aching or throbbing near the anus or tailbone
- Pain during bowel movements or sitting
- A feeling of pressure or incomplete evacuation
- Anal spasms or rectal pain without a clear cause
These symptoms are common in pelvic floor dysfunction and can often be misdiagnosed as hemorrhoids, fissures, or GI issues.
Who Can Benefit from Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger point therapy may be ideal if you’re experiencing:
- Pelvic floor muscle spasm
- Chronic anal pain or rectal pressure
- Painful sitting (proctalgia)
- Muscle tension following hemorrhoid flare-ups or fissures
- Pain after hemorrhoid surgery or trauma
What Is a Trigger Point Injection?
A trigger point injection is a quick, in-office treatment where a small amount of anesthetic (and sometimes anti-inflammatory medicine) is injected directly into the tense muscle. This helps:
- Relax the tight muscle
- Reduce inflammation
- Break the pain cycle
- Improve blood flow and healing

Whether you’re coming from Cave Creek, Glendale, or Paradise Valley, we make it easy to get relief.
Step-by-Step:
