We usually talk about a rule of 1/3's with back surgery - one third gets better, one third gets worse, one third stays the same.
I've had several patients avoid surgery and get better using inversion tables. Basically, you strap your feet in to the boots and rotate yourself upside-down. It's basically using gravity to provide the traction. I can't quote scientific research and statistics but just anecdotal evidence that it may help.
