How can I do to treat/prevent soreness in my achilles tendon?

Question:

About a month ago I began my career in law enforcement. My duty uniform requires that I wear tactical type boots. My achilles tendon(s) do not bother me while wearing my boots but anytime I jog my achilles hurts badly, so bad to the point where I am unable to run (which sucks because I need to stay in shape for my job). I came across this article and think this may possible be my problem.

"Women who wear high-heeled shoes often and switch to sneakers for exercise also can develop Achilles tendonitis. The Achilles tendon and lower leg muscles gradually adapt to a shortened position because the shoes prevent the heel from stretching all the way to the ground.

When this occurs, wearing sneakers or flat shoes forces the Achilles tendon to stretch further than it is accustomed to, causing inflammation. If high heels are worn everyday, stretching should be done every morning and night to keep the Achilles tendon lengthened."

What if anything else can I do to relieve my pain?
