Hello,

Thanks for your query.

A multifaceted approach of relative rest can restore a pain-free level of activity.

The relative rest approach includes a change in the work out, ice, rest, anti inflammatory medicines, stretching exercises, possible change in the foot wear and gradual increase in running activities.

Hope I have answered your query.

I will be available for your follow up queries if any.

Wishing you good health.

Regards,
I find this answer helpful
