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?

This new 13 yo patient has small lumbar curve, but it is causing a large trunk shift to the left, and quite a bit of back pain. Treating it conservatively for now.
