Ice stretch and use of very supportive shoes
It depends on type of pain, duration, location, and history of the pain. Conservative treatments with medications, padding, and occasionally injection(s) can generally alleviate the majority of cases of heel pain. You should consult with a Board Certified Podiatric Surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgery.
It depends what is causing the heel pain. If it is plantar fasciitis then a frozen water bottle for cold therapy, stretching exercises and arch supports can be beneficial. Sometimes anti-inflammatory medication can be taken as well to help reduce inflammation and pain. It is due to trauma that I would recommend x-ray.
Start with Capsaicin 0.025% cream and rub into affected areas several times a day. Aleve 200mg twice daily.
Heels, like any other body part, you need to know how you created that pain. Then, you can look for your therapists in your area to find some relief.
In Ear Reflexology, a therapist could find a heel point on each ear and by triggering them could bring some relief. Always make sure your MD had identified your cause so you can end up with a good therapist.

Heel pain is most commonly caused by Plantar Fasciitis and is typically treated with shoe inserts/orthotics, modified activity, rest, and anti-inflammatories. However, I recommend an evaluation by your physician to determine the etiology of your symptoms.
The most common type of heel pain is from a problem called Plantar Fasciitis. Ice, NSAIDs, stretching, icing, injections and orthotics all can help with heel pain stemming from Plantar Fasciitis. There are other causes of heel pain, though. So if the pain does not subside with those modalities, you may need an MRI to get an appropriate diagnosis
Avoid walking barefoot and wear supportive shoes. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for evaluation, diagnosis, and further treatment options.
The answer is depends, depends on the root cause of the heel pain. Common cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, heel spur, ligament issue, tendon dysfunction, etc... the heel pain will heal once the root cause is addressed and treated. I recommend you to seek podiatrist consult near you.
