Sometimes: Orthotics and anti inflammatory medication (if no medical contraindications to their use) or consider cross training or avoiding sports/activities involving running like swimming, biking or rowing.

Orthotic: You may want to see a specialist that can have a custom orthotic fabricated for you. This can help control your foot motion and may afford you some relief.

Foot specialist: I would recommend that you see a foot and ankle orthopaedic specialist. You may have a gait abnormality from the coalition that requires special therapy or an orthotic.
