In general yes: Low back pain usual responds well to rest, heat and NSAID drugs like naproxen.

Maybe: Do you have high blood pressure? A history of stomach ulcers? Kidney or liver disease? As dr. Rosenfeld said, in general, nsaids are useful in the treatment of low back pain, but that assumes you are otherwise healthy.
