Shawn Johnston, DC

Chiropractor/Owner

Dr. Johnston is our owner and chiropractor.

Dr. Johnston is from Dyersburg, TN. He attended Freed Hardeman University for his undergraduate degree in Chemistry and Biology. He began his pre-med studies there and then gained his doctorate at Logan University.

Dr. Johnston began his career at Lafayette anesthesiology Surgical Hospital MOB for 6 years, where he collaborated with the Anesthesiology and Pain Consultants, specializing in pre and post-surgical pain management.

Dr. Johnston then began his own practice in downtown Carencro in 2014. During this time, he learned how to treat the worst of the worst cases and how to run his own practice.

Since then, he has seen an explosion of growth at Relief Plus.

Dr. Johnston is more of a homebody; he loves staying at home with his beautiful wife and two sons. Dr. Johnston also helps lead worship at his local church!

Jean'-Paul Abshire, DC

Chiropractor

Dr. Abshire is a native of Carencro. He graduated with his bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Soon
after, he attained his doctorate at Texas Chiropractic College.

During his time in Texas, Dr. Abshire was able to appreciate the benefits and positive outcomes that
people could gain from working with the body by working with collegiate athletes, students, and the
general public through clinic rotations.

Prior to graduating, Dr. Abshire had the opportunity to intern with Dr. Johnston and his staff. This
allowed him the chance to work with and eventually find a position here at Relief Plus.

He enjoys his downtime, but also loves a zydeco dance or two. A Cajun first, and a chiropractor second,
Dr. Abshire is extremely pleased to be working near his family and friends right in his hometown!
