No of course not
While chiropractors primarily focus on the musculoskeletal system, including the spine and joints, the most appropriate professional to address flat feet is typically a podiatrist. Podiatrists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle conditions, including issues related to arch structure, gait abnormalities, and flat feet.

Flat feet can result from various factors, including genetics, injury, or overpronation. A podiatrist is trained to assess the specific causes of flat feet and recommend appropriate interventions, which may include orthotic devices, exercises, or other treatments tailored to your individual needs.

To receive a comprehensive diagnosis and personalized treatment plan for your flat feet, we recommend scheduling a consultation with our experienced podiatrist at Jose Loor Podiatry Practice.

Some csn but most are well trained in back problems. Podiatrists are foot specialists and may be a better choice.
Only by putting you in properly fitted orthotics and developing a proper mobilization routine for your feet. I personally use the Melt Method Soft Ball treatment for the feet.
In general, flat feet usually need some type of support in the shoe. Try over the counter supports first. Then, consult with your local podiatrist.
It depends on the expertise and specialty of the doctor. In a podiatrist's office for sure, flat foot is a condition I treat with noninvasive and invasive options such as orthotics, special shoe gear, hyprocure, etc.
I do not believe chiropractors address foot issues. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation and treatment options
