Process versus outcome: challenges of the chiropractic wellness paradigm
1Associate Professor, Parker College of Chiropractic, Dallas, TX 75229.
Objective:
The purpose of this article is to discuss the term wellness in the context of the philosophy of chiropractic.
Discussion:
PubMed and Index to Chiropractic Literature show an upward trend in use of the term wellness. Wellness may be used differently depending upon the profession and may be considered a process by some and an outcome by others.
Conclusion:
There appears to be no consensus on the definition of wellness or how it is being used. Wellness is not exclusive to chiropractic, and wellness is not synonymous with health, although is often used that way. Wellness is a societal trend, and chiropractic as a health care profession may be a good fit for this concept.
