Rest: The simple answer is rest. Rest can take awhile though, so to speed it up i suggest: 1) anti-inflammatories 2) pt/stretching 3) good shoe wear/arch-supports 4) proper training.

Ice, rest: I would recommend avoiding the offending activity. Also, use of ice and advil (ibuprofen) will be helpful you should not play if you are limping or having severe pain.

FOOT STRUCTURE: Have a podiatrist check the foot structure. Abnormally flattened feet can be a contributing factor.
