It depends on your case there are non surgical option like physical therapy and there are surgical option.

It's important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific situation.

They can assess the severity of your spine hernia and recommend the most appropriate options.  
You can try physical therapy, accupuncture, over the counter pain medications, muscle relaxers, and even epidural steroid injections. If all of these fail then surgery would be a possibility. I would also reccommend avoiding such activities as heavy weigthlifting such as squats and dead lifts or bending.
Herniated discs are common spinal injuries. It's been said that if you took and MRI's of 100 peoples spine who did not have back pain you would find about 20% have disc injuries. So that tells us a few thinks. First not all disc injuries produce chronic pain. Second not all disc Injuries require surgery.

In my clinic we successfully manage disc Injuries all the time. Most important is a complete evaluation with emphasis on neurological functions. If these basic functions are preserved conservative managment can be employed and include spinal adjustments, spinal decompression Traction, focused shock wave therapy, home stretching and nutraceuticals to decrease inflammation. These are very successful, about 80% of our patients who meet the initial criteria and are neurological stable do very well within 30 days. I suggest we mo it or them monthly for 3 to 6 months. If the patient remains symptom free for 6.months bareing another I jury they remain symptom free.
You need to find a Directional Non-Force Technique Chiropractor in your area for disc herniation. It most powerful and gentle adjustment you can have
