How can we care for scoliosis and kyphosis and spondylolisthesis better with conservative care like physical therapy, high-tech scoliosis braces, exercise and other techniques? What can be done to improve surgical care, and understand choices for surgery, learning from those around the world? How can we learn from aviation and from Deming's principles of "Standard Work" to constantly improve spine and all healthcare?

Jaclyn gives a short talk on adult scoliosis curve progression and pain with patient at Hey Clinic
We spend a lot of time at Hey Clinic listening to patients, examining, reviewing images, and teaching and learning with our patients and their families.
This past week, Jaclyn, one of our Hey Clinic physician assistants took some time with one of our younger adult scoliosis patients to explain how adult scoliosis can progress later in life, and in some cases exponentially increase in curve size and symptoms (pain, trouble standing and walking, and posture/appearance).
I think you will enjoy this brief video.
