The purpose of this article is to discuss the term wellness in the context of the philosophy of chiropractic.
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.
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.
本文旨在探讨整脊疗法哲学背景下的健康概念。
《医学期刊数据库》和《整脊文献索引》显示,“健康”一词的使用呈上升趋势。根据不同职业,“健康”的用法可能有所不同,有些人可能将其视为一个过程,而另一些人则将其视为一种结果。
对于“健康”的定义或其使用方式似乎没有达成共识。健康并非整脊疗法所独有,尽管人们常常将其与健康等同,但健康与健康并非同义词。健康是一种社会趋势,整脊疗法作为一种医疗保健专业可能非常适合这一概念。
