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?

How can we learn from aviation and from Deming's principles of "Standard Work" to constantly improve spine and all healthcare?
