This afternoon we helped relieve severe R leg pain for this 50 yo woman who had laminectomy done elsewhere w persistent leg pain. MRI shows severe R L5S1 stenosis. Her X-rays show lumbar scoliosis, which is actually due to her sciatica, as she tries to lean away from pain, opening up neural foramen. Remove he pinch, remove the pain, removes the scoliosis.

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?
