I was treated by a podiatrist. Getting over it, for me, consisted of calf stretches like previously mentioned x 2 day and then wearing a boot that puts your calf at a permanent stretch for a few hours a day. The tendon (not sure if that is the right part) is connected at the bottom of the foot and up the back of the lower leg, hence the calf stretches. I also got some meds to help w/ inflammation. The remedy for me in keeping it in check is arch support so I switched to premium shoes (running shoes) or added inserts (but not the ridiculously priced Good Feet Store ones).
