Matt emailed me this question, and it's a good one. Many people have this same question.
"Hi Dr. Lombardi I have a question from the April Exstore seminar in Tampa about the point you used to stimulate the cervical plexus. I believe it is level with C4, posterior to SCM and just anterior to levator scap MP. I can't remember if I am supposed to roll anteriorly over the transverse process of C4 or stay posterior to the transvesre process. Also, what is the proper depth? Thank you Matt"
I'm pretty sure I have a video of this, I will track it down and post it.
