Where is the posterior Chapman point for the uterus located?

• A. On the iliac crest
• B. Superior TP of L2
• C. Between PSIS and SP of L5
• D. Superior pubic ramus near symphysis

Answer: (C)

Chapman reflex points are small, palpable areas used in OMM to reflect visceral conditions, with posterior points located in the paraspinal muscles near the spine and roughly aligned with the organ’s segmental innervation. For the uterus, the posterior reflex point sits in the paraspinal region around the fifth lumbar level, specifically in the area between the posterior superior iliac spine and the transverse/spinous process of the fifth lumbar vertebra. This location matches the pelvic organ reflex map and is distinct from points higher up the back (like near L2) or on bony landmarks such as the iliac crest or pubic region, which correspond to other organs or structures.
