Treatment for future: Plantar fasciitis is considered what’s called an overuse injury. That being said it takes repetitive action causing the damage to create the symptoms. To treat this for the long term lthe correct type of support is required in the arch. I usually recommend a custom orthotics for this condition. However sometimes an over-the-counter device may work or supportive shoe. Ibuprofen helps
