Yes, look for a doctor that uses soft tissue therapies, exercise, laser or shockwave therapy.
Yes, Doctors of Chiropractic treat all the muscular skeletal areas of the body.
There are several treatment options available for plantar fasciitis, but you will want to consider the many benefits of chiropractic care when it comes to treating this condition. Chiropractic treatment can:
Reduce the stress in the ligament – The reason you are suffering from plantar fasciitis is because of the stress placed upon the ligament causing the tiny tears. If you don’t take steps to reduce this stress, then you will continue to experience pain and inflammation. Your chiropractor can help take some of the stress off the ligament and give it a chance to heal through adjustments.
Minimize secondary injuries – Remember that one of the things that can happen when you suffer this condition is a change in your gait in order to try to reduce the pain you are experiencing. When you use chiropractic care as a part of your treatment plan, you can help to minimize the misalignments caused by a change in your gait – misalignments that if left untreated can cause problems in other parts of your body, including your ankles, knees, hips and lower back.
Goes well with other treatments – Because chiropractic is a natural and non-invasive treatment, it often works well in conjunction with other treatments for this condition such as massage or physical therapy.

Usually yes.
Maybe. Sports chiropractors may help with your foot problem by checking for a misalignment in your arch. Some chiropractors offer therapeutic modalities to eliminate soft-tissue pain. Some chiropractors do arch support analysis and may order orthotics if needed. Yet if it was me, I see a podiatrist who specializes in foot injuries.
Yes, but definitely go to a chiropractor that specializes in ART (Active Release Techniques). www.activerelease.com and hit find a provider.

Absolutely!
There are several things that chiropractors can do to help with plantar fasciitis. First the chiropractor will take a history and do an examination to confirm that diagnosis and rule out other possible conditions you may have. The chiropractor may also try to figure out why you have the problem in the first place and make recommendations for treatment and prevention.

Yes some treat that. Call first and ask. I have had success with treating it using massage, ultrasound and sometimes soft orthotics and stretching. Even Acupuncture is better that steroids.
Yes a Chiropractor can diagnose and treat plantar fasciitis.
