Hello,
Ultrasound therapy can help with the pain but this pain can reoccur. Hence, use of custom orthotics (insoles) is very important.
Next Steps
Do not be barefoot, use sports shoes as much you can.
Health Tips
Start icing the pain area with gel ice pack.

Yes , as per your query it will help sooner or later but you should also work for the factors due to which this problem is created
Like if
*overweight - work on weight reduction
*Long standing - avoid in case can't avoid then try to change posture stand/sit
*Walk - if you walk on long distance avoid , if necessary do it in breaks
*Footwear - custom foot wear is good but you should use every footwear with well maintained arches
Thanks and take care

Many advanced techniques have come up now, UST used to be the old method but it takes long period of time which is why I believe in cold aqua therapy giving a pushback support to the ankle . Maintaining the arch is very important and aqua can be fun actively for anyone.

Ultrasound therapy will give you good relief.
But the effectiveness will be long lasting only when it is followed by calf stretching and strengthening exercises atleast for 120 days .
