Dear Monu,

Unfortunately there is no "quick treatment".
You can try arch supports in supportive shoes temporarily.
Go to our website store at AnkleNFoot.com for examples of wraps, sleeves or supports for your foot. Our website arch supports are temporary and not true orthotics/orthoses.
The better the support-the better you will be!
A custom made orthoses-UCBL type-or ankle foot orthoses-AFO will work much better-but you need to see a podiatrist.
These supports need to be made professionally by a podiatrist who is certified in orthopedics or practices orthopedics.
Please make sure you see a Board Certified Podiatrist. They are the experts in these kinds of problems!



Hope This Helps
Good Luck!
