Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Aleve (naproxen) can be effectively used for relief of back pain. Hot compress would also provide relief. But most important of all would be the right exercises. A physical therapist can help. He will also be able to offer ultrasonotherapy which would provide relief from pain.
