Chiropractic includes the treatment of extremities including the adjusting of extremities (hands and feet).
Some chiropractor's adjust extremities as well as the spine. Extremities are those bones outside of the 26 spinal joints typically addressed by most chiropractors. Examples include ribs, shoulders, knees, hands, and, yes, the 26 bones of the foot. If you are searching for a chiropractor in your area for adjustments to your foot, it's best to call their office first to find out if they do that type of work. Most of us who address extremities do additional training for just that.
Chiropractors can adjust any joint. There are many joints in the feet. Not every chiropractor specializes in extremity adjusting.

Yes Chiropractors can adjust most joints. But not every chiropractor has training to adjust extremities. My suggestion is to call the chiropractors office to make sure they treat feet.
Yes. There are many situations in which adjusting a tarsal bone or heel can alleviate symptoms. Athletes respond exceptionally well to foot adjustments.
Yes, Chiropractors can adjust feet. I recommend seeking out a Chiropractor who specializes in extremity adjustments, such as a Sports Chiropractor.
