Motrin for Back Pain. Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication used to relieve mild to moderate pain. Ibuprofen reduces inflammation as well as fever. It is one of the most common NSAIDs on the market.
Ibuprofen works by preventing your body from making a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin. Prostaglandin triggers symptoms of pain associated with inflammation, fever and swelling in different areas of the body. Depending on its use, several doses over a period of time are usually effective in reducing inflammation, pain and fever.
