Dr. R.M. "Randy" Crisp, a chiropractor in San Diego County for over 43 years, died of a heart attack October 30, 2001.
Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, Randy was a singer and performer from the age of 13, but also a star quarterback in high school, and outstanding baseball player. He was offered a full scholarship to the Juilliard School of Performing Arts, but opted instead to sign a contract with the Dodgers baseball organization.
He was a graduate of Palmer College in 1959, and opened his first office in Pacific Beach.
Randy leaves behind his wife, Cindy, son Dave, and sister Vina. He also leaves behind three special friends who are working toward their chiropractic degrees: Kristine Brew, Alicia Ortman, and Michael Villareal.
When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
