It depends on the severity of the disc injuries. But the rule in general regarding the spine is to keep surgery only as a last resort. Try everything else first: physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, medications, etc. Then only if things remain unbearable then consider surgery, because the outcomes of spine surgery simply aren't as reliable as we would like (or as reliable as the surgeons would admit!).
