What are natural ways to alleviate my ankle and heel pain?

Depends...: ...On the diagnosis. If trauma was involved, i recommend an evaluation from a foot/ankle specialist. If the pain is with activities, often treatment involves rest with or without bracing, ice, elevation, followed by stretching exercises. Anti-inflammatories and/or Acetaminophen can often help with pain.

Depends on the cause: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. Causes of pain may include: trauma (fracture, sprain, arthritis, tight shoes), infection, metabolic conditions (gout), musculoskeletal or biomechanical abnormality and neurologic conditions (neuropathy). A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause.
