The right time to see a chiropractor for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may vary depending on individual circumstances. It is generally recommended to consult with your primary healthcare provider, such as a rheumatologist, first to receive a formal diagnosis and establish a treatment plan.
Once you have a diagnosis of RA, your healthcare provider may refer you to other specialists like chiropractors as part of a multidisciplinary approach to manage your condition. These professionals can complement traditional medical care by providing additional therapies and support.
