While ibuprofen helps with pain (but not "fixing" the problem) it does shrink inflammation which is part of the treatment process. The less inflammation you have, the easier it is to do the exercises you need to do to recover. So in that way, it speeds up healing.
On it's own merit though, it's not a "cure" like other medications can be.
While ibuprofen can be hard on the body if too much is taken, as long as your doctor is ok with it, don't dismiss it altogether as along with other treatments, it can be of great help. Moderation is key.
