The main reason for spine surgery or neck surgery is to correct an anatomical lesion in individuals who fail to show improvement with conservative treatment like icing, massage, physical therapy or anti-inflammatory drugs.  If you have pain without the presence of an anatomical lesion, spine surgery is not an option for you.  If you are a patient who has the need to change your anatomy, like repairing a herniated disc, then spine surgery is something that you should look into.
