The larynx posterior Chapman point is located at which anatomical landmark?

Chapman points are small, reproducible tender points used in OMM to reflect visceral relationships; posterior points lie near the spine at specific vertebral levels. The larynx has its posterior Chapman point at the second cervical vertebra, specifically on the posterior aspect of the C2 articular pillar. Palpating that spot and treating it can influence laryngeal function through reflex pathways. The other landmarks map to different organs or regions on the Chapman chart, so they’re not the laryngeal point.
