Pain can be relieved with physiotherapy treatment - ultrasound to reduce inflammation, stretching of plantar fascia. After pain subsides, you will need to start strengthening exercises.
You also need to get your foot assessed. If foot alignment is a problem, then treatment needs to be planned accordingly. If calf muscles are tight, then stretching will be required. Footwear modification may be required.
