Developed by\u00a0Edward G. Stiles, D.O., F.A.A.O.<\/a>, sequencing is a method of locating the key area to treat in the body.\u00a0 The principles of sequencing can be applied in any patient position (standing, sitting, supine or prone) and can lead you to the key area.\u00a0 By locating the key area (called the Area of Greatest Restriction or AGR) the practitioner can more effectively and efficiently treat the patient.\u00a0 The principles then allow the practitioner to get as specific as necessary in locating the AGR before treatment commences.\u00a0 By treating the areas that are most restricted in the body and then after each change re-evaluating the patient to find the next AGR, each patient becomes unique.\u00a0 The potential for change in each treatment is maximized.\u00a0 Each treatment and each visit is unique.\u00a0 The patient’s complaints resolve more rapidly and with much less effort on the part of the practitioner.\u00a0 Sequencing also allows the practitioner to utilize the patient’s body as a “measuring stick” for progress between treatments (i.e. if different areas are located as the AGR in successive treatments the body is changing).\u00a0 Sequencing is unique to Dr. Stiles and his students.\u00a0 Luckily I had the opportunity to be one of the first undergraduate fellows under him.\u00a0 I spent an extra year in medical school learning more about osteopathic manipulation and Dr. Stiles\u2019 unique approach to treatment.\u00a0 That year has paid huge dividends in my practice and in patient outcomes.<\/p>\n

Sequencing a patient can be compared to trying to open a safe.\u00a0 You could hand me the numbers, but unless I know the order to enter them, I don\u2019t get the prize (improved health).\u00a0 Sequencing allows the practitioner to ask the body the order that the treatment should be performed in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
