Useful to patients
Content begins with a real clinical or practical question and aims to help readers understand reasonable next steps.
Clinical Standards & Editorial Review
Health information should make care decisions clearer.
Relief Plus publishes patient education to explain musculoskeletal conditions, treatment options, clinical uncertainty, and questions worth discussing with a qualified healthcare professional.
Content Standard
What guides Relief Plus health information.
Evidence-informed
Appropriate sources may include peer-reviewed literature, recognized clinical guidance, professional organizations, government resources, and academic medical sources.
Clear about uncertainty
Evidence limits, candidacy, alternatives, risks, and differences among diagnoses or procedures should be explained when relevant.
Within professional roles
Contributors address topics that fit their verified training and role. Individual attribution is used only when documented.
Relief Plus does not claim that every page has undergone a formal systematic review. The depth and frequency of review should reflect the topic, evidence, clinical risk, and likelihood that guidance or regulation may change.
Who Contributes
Different disciplines contribute different perspectives.
Chiropractic · Musculoskeletal Care
Shawn D. Johnston, D.C.
Dr. Johnston may contribute to chiropractic, musculoskeletal, movement/function, and relevant conservative-care content when his authorship or review is documented.
Physical Therapy · Rehabilitation
Jeanne Saucier, PT
Jeanne may contribute to physical therapy and rehabilitation content when she genuinely authors or reviews it. This page does not assign her to existing articles.
Internal Medicine · Regenerative Care
Ashton Reed, MD
Dr. Reed may contribute to medical or regenerative content when he genuinely reviews it. This page does not imply that he reviews all existing content.
Historical Article Attribution
Relief Plus Editorial
The 48 retained historical articles remain attributed to Relief Plus Editorial. Provider authorship or review will not be added retroactively without documentation.
Authorship and Review
Attribution should describe what actually happened.
Future content may identify who wrote it, who performed a substantive clinical review, and when that review occurred. Those fields appear only when the work is documented.
A reviewer is not added merely to create an authority signal. The reviewer’s discipline should be relevant to the content, and visible attribution should agree with structured data.
Updates and Corrections
Review frequency follows the subject.
Stable clinical education is reviewed periodically. Treatment, regulatory, and advanced-procedure content may require more frequent review because evidence, guidance, products, or rules can change.
Substantive corrections should be reflected in the content and its updated date. Readers can report a factual concern by emailing myreliefplus@gmail.com or calling (337) 565-4200.
Medical Information Boundary
Education supports—but does not replace—individual care.
Website information cannot account for an individual examination, health history, diagnosis, preferences, or treatment needs. New severe symptoms, rapidly worsening neurological changes, major trauma, or other urgent concerns warrant appropriate urgent or emergency evaluation rather than reliance on website information.
