See specialist.: See a non-surgical sports medicine specialist for the most appropriate treatment.

See specialist: See a sports medicine specialist and orthopaedic surgeon, and possibly a podiatrist, in that order. It may require strengthening exercises, orthotics, different shoes, modification of your gait / stride / body position, or even surgery, or a combination of these to treat your problem. However - proper treatment starts with the correct diagnosis. Good Luck.
