If by arms you mean joint or muscle injuries, some do. You would have to ask the chiropractor. I evaluate and treat some injuries. Others requiring more extensive treatment are referred to physical therapy.
Chiropractors focus on neuro musculoskeletal dysfunction. If your “arm” has an ailment a chiropractor can help, then yes.
yes
Yes. We are musculoskeletal physicians. So we treat most muscle and joint conditions affecting the entire human body.
Yes. Look for a chiropractor that specializes in Active Release Techniques.

Yes, chiropractors trained in sports medicine or orthopedics will evaluate and treat the arms. Depending on the pain or injury, they will use a combination of chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy as treatment.
Many chiropractors will/can but not all. Some chiropractors might only work
Yes, Chiropractors receive training on all part of the body.
A chiropractor will work on any joint of the body after taking a history and doing an examination.
I can’t speak for every chiropractor, but it’s something we work on regularly in the office. If I had to speak for the whole profession, I would say most chiropractors do work on arms.
Yes, but not all Chiropractors work on extremities. I recommend calling your local Chiropractic offices and asking if they have certifications and training in extremity techniques. A Sports Chiropractor will have all the necessary credentials.
Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) are licensed doctors who does diagnosis and either preforms and/or recommends treatment. That includes all areas of the neuromuscular system. The question is what is causing the problem with the area and that requires diagnosis. Diagnosis can't be done without an examination. If the cause is appropriate and responsive to conservative care then Chiropractic care with it's many therapeutic treatments is important and appropriate. Even if the problem has a permanent and/or structural component the treatments may still help, but may not totally eliminate the underlying cause. Don't wait to have the examination, as the sooner the problems is detected and treated the better.
