If you live in Cave Creek and struggle with ongoing muscle pain, tension, or discomfort that hasn’t responded to stretching, massage, or medication — trigger point injections may be the missing piece to your relief. At Advanced Hemorrhoid Centers, we offer in-office trigger point injection therapy for patients experiencing pain related to pelvic floor tension, muscle spasms, or overlapping anorectal symptoms like rectal pain or pressure.
Whether your pain feels like a knot deep in the glutes or tightness near the rectum, our specialists can help identify and treat the root cause — all without surgery, in a private and professional setting near Cave Creek.
What Are Trigger Point Injections?
Trigger points are tight, painful “knots” in your muscle tissue that can develop from overuse, poor posture, stress, or injury. These spots can be tender to touch and may refer pain to other areas — including the pelvic region, lower back, or rectum. For many patients, trigger points contribute to or worsen other conditions such as anal spasm or chronic pelvic discomfort.
Trigger point injections (TPIs) are a minimally invasive treatment in which a small amount of anesthetic (and sometimes corticosteroid) is injected directly into the affected muscle. This helps:
- Relax the tight muscle
- Relieve pain at the source
- Restore normal movement and comfort
- Support healing in related tissues
Why Cave Creek Patients Turn to TPIs
Chronic muscle tension — especially in the pelvic floor, buttocks, and lower back — can mimic or aggravate symptoms often blamed on hemorrhoids or fissures. We frequently treat Cave Creek residents who come in for anal pain, pressure, or burning, only to discover that trigger point pain is also part of the problem.
You might benefit from trigger point injections if you experience:
- Persistent buttock or pelvic pain
- Painful sitting or pressure during bowel movements
- Spasms in the rectal area
- Postural pain from working at a desk or on your feet
- Tension that doesn’t improve with rest or stretching
By addressing the muscular source of discomfort, TPIs can reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life — especially when combined with non-surgical hemorrhoid treatment or anal fissure care.
What to Expect from In-Office Treatment
At Advanced Hemorrhoid Centers, we take a thorough and compassionate approach to care. Here’s what your experience may include:
1. Private Evaluation
We begin by reviewing your symptoms and medical history in a calm, respectful environment. If you’re experiencing rectal pain, we may also perform anoscopy to rule out internal causes like hemorrhoids or fissures.
2. Diagnosis of Trigger Points
We identify specific muscle knots or tension patterns contributing to your discomfort. This often includes the levator ani, gluteal, or perirectal muscles.
3. In-Office Trigger Point Injections
The injection takes just minutes and is done with local numbing for comfort. Most patients experience immediate or near-immediate relief.
4. Aftercare and Recovery
You can return to daily activities right away. We provide guidance on posture, stretching, and additional care to prevent recurrence.

FAQs About Trigger Point Injections
Q: Do trigger point injections hurt?
A: Most patients feel only a quick pinch. Relief often begins shortly after the procedure.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: Some patients improve after just one injection; others may benefit from a series based on the severity and location of the trigger points.
Q: Can muscle pain really feel like rectal or hemorrhoid pain?
A: Yes. Pelvic floor and gluteal muscle tension can create pain or pressure that feels internal — which is why accurate diagnosis is essential.
Q: Are TPIs covered by insurance?
A: In many cases, yes. We’ll help verify your coverage and walk you through the process.
