There are a number of exercises designed to stretch the fascia and tendons around the ankle and heel. You can also wear a night splint to eliminate plantar flexion. You can probably find some videos on this. Good luck. It can be a difficult issue to treat.

Dr. Neufeld or Dr. Cuttica (same practice)--orthos that specialize in feet.

Dr. Davis is an orthopedist and awesome: https://www.orthooic.com/blog/foot-and-ankle-treatment/

Podiatrists are quacks.
