Shelbi, Mer and I are here at Marbles in Raleigh for a special kids Health Quest. A 5 yo boy came up and dug through the balls and put together the whole color-coded spine.
Her mom then told me that she has scoliosis and her dad has a severe case of scoliosis.
Her boy has a chance of getting scoliosis too, and should be screened year by pediatrician starting around age 8. The scoliometer is a helpful tool to do scoliosis screening.
We'll be here all day at Marbles!

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?
