A Moment of Silence for Dr. Randy Crisp

Editorial 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.

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

Chiropractic at Risk Globally
Chiropractic at Risk Globally

There has long been an attempt by those who are not legitimate doctors of chiropractic to usurp the title of chiropractor from those who have earned their degree from an accredited chiropractic program. This generally happens in countries where the local doctors of chiropractic have yet to pass legislation requiring a degree from an accredited institution. The result is essentially two chiropractic professions. Nowhere is this danger more pronounced than in Japan.
