Just watched  Dr Chad Rolhfsen’s video dealing with that question.  You can check it out here: http://www.blip.tv/file/4040085

While I appreciate what he had to say on the subject, part of me thinks we may be over-thinking this issue.  An adjustment is a procedure chiropractors use to remove interference to your body’s nervous system which is impeding the natural flow of subtle energy, Life-force, mental impulse, chi, call it what you will.   People usually wait until this condition has been there long enough that symptoms begin to co-arise with it.  So when they receive chiropractic care they often think of it as treatment for the symptom(s).  When they have no symptoms and receive a chiropractic adjustment then it is often referred to as “Wellness Care”.  It is important to keep in mind that there is absolutely no difference in how a chiropracTOR finds a subluxation (the interference to the life-force) or removes it with an adjustment in a person with or without symptoms.  There is no difference!  The only difference is the presence of symptoms.  A chiropractor cannot improve upon nature with an adjustment to a non-subluxated person, (s)he can only remove interference that is already there.  Therefore a wellness adjustment is simply an adjustment given to an asymptomatic person, one without symptoms.

We humans love to label things, but maybe in this case differentiating an adjustment as “wellness” has caused some confusion.
