A Moment of Silence for Dr. Randy Crisp

Dynamic Chiropractic Staff

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 Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy: A Clinical Series (Pt. 3)
When Radiculopathy Isn’t Radiculopathy

Before introducing subscapularis syndrome as an upper extremity analog, it is essential to revisit piriformis syndrome as a well-established example of myogenic pseudo-radiculopathy. Piriformis syndrome has long served as a clinical exception to disc-centric models of lower extremity pain and provides an important framework for understanding how deep muscular dysfunction can mimic radiculopathy in the absence of nerve root compression.

From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics
From Pain Scores to Performance Metrics

Pain has become the dominant language of musculoskeletal healthcare. Numeric pain-rating scales and symptom reports are routinely used as primary indicators of clinical success. But while pain reduction is meaningful, it is an incomplete and often misleading representation of recovery. This has real consequences for patient adherence, long-term outcomes, and how conservative care is perceived within the broader healthcare system.
