Depending on the extent of your dislocation you may need surgery. You can get more than one opinion to decide. When deciding on a chiropractor it's good to see of other patients are happy with their cars. If I can be of any assistance reach out on social media or via my website: chronicpainrescue.com
No, needs to be located by orthopedic surgeon manually or with surgery.
Depends on the chiropractor and the state they practice within.

Yes. Some chiropractors can help with this. But I recommend you see an orthopedic as there may be some nerve and vascular issues that need to be checked as well.
Treating a joint dislocation id beyond the scope of the practice of chiropractic service.
No. Chiropractors don't have the training or experience to properly treat the dislocation of a major joint like the Ankle joint. You need to consult with a Podiatric Surgeon who is Board Certified by the American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgery, or an Orthopedic Surgeon who specializes in the Foot and Ankle.
You need to see a foot and ankle specialist whether it be a podiatrist or an orthopedist. The physician will guide you through your course of treatment and potentially refer you to a physical therapist after your ankle is in good alignment.
Chiropractors do treat sprain ankles. We have the latest Laser Treatment that not only reduces pain and improves function of the ankle and foot, but we also do extremity Chiropractic Adjustments to the feet and ankles once the ligaments have sufficiently healed. These Adjustments, given at the correct time, are usually painless and very effective in ankle joint dysfunction and injury. If the ankle is truly Dislocated verses slightly misaligned, then we would immediately identify and refer out to an orthopedic doctor. Although, typical this isn’t the case and we can fully rehabilitate the ankle joint.
A true dislocation of the ankle usually requires surgical intervention. Chiropractors do not perform surgery
If you dislocated your ankle, this needs to be realigned. Most chiropractors do not address dislocations. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation and treatment options
