Chiropractors often treat ankle injuries. Sometimes joints are out of alignment and need to be adjusted. Other issues can include pronated or dropped arches which custom orthotics can help.
Thank you for your question. Yes, chiropractors can help with ankle pain. It really depends on what is causing it. The first step is a new patient exam to see what is actually causing it.

Absolutely. Chiropractors work with all joints.
Chiropractic adjustments to the ankle will help restore motion to fixed joints, relieving ankle pain. A chiropractor will also examine the lower back to determine if your foot and ankle pain is related to a lower back problem. The spinal nerves that exit from the base of the spine travel down the leg and to the foot. In the meantime, icing the ankle and wearing a supportive ankle brace can help to reduce pain and protect against further injury.
