Scoliosis. It's a spine thing that some days I think of resolving with a firm stomp to the back and maybe a gentle stomp to the neck. Which, I'm not sure how'd that make it straight but it seems like a good idea.
On a less stompy note, there's actually quite a successful model with scoliosis. Her name is Martha Hunt.

"I was informed that the surgery involved attaching hooks, wires, screws and two titanium rods to the curved parts of my spine. Then small pieces of bone would be put over my spine so that they would grow together with the spinal bone, fusing it into proper position. I was told my spine would not end up being completely straight and we couldn't fix the rotation of the spine. That would involve covering the entire spine with metal rods, and ultimately I would have no mobility in my back whatsoever."
It's pretty terrifying knowing Martha has all these metal hooks in her back to be honest. Thank a god for corsets- I mean braces.
