The Nasal Sinus Posterior Point is located at which site?

Chapman points for nasal sinuses are expressed as a posterior point near the upper cervical spine, specifically at the C1 articular pillar. This location corresponds to the visceral reflex mapping for the nasal sinuses, so tenderness or a palpable reflex at the C1 articular pillar can guide treatment. The other sites do not align with the nasal sinus reflex point: a point at C1’s lateral pillar, the first intercostal space, or the upper surface of the second rib would map to different structures or organ regions.
