Dr. Lloyd Hey's Blog: Scoliosis and Spine Care, Aviation Safety and Quality "Standard Work"

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?

Dr. Hey,
Thank you for all the help you have done. After the surgery, I know i can do the things I love to do without having limits or being in pain. Throughout the day of my surgery, I was scared and so was my family. But when you said a prayer for me and my family, me and my family knew everything was going to be just fine. Thank you so much!! You made a true difference in my life!! And for that I want to thank you. Love, Susan"
