Conservative: If you are only 30 and have mild cervical disc herniation, you should consider physical therapy as the first line of treatment. If you are having neurological symptoms, consult a neurosurgeon for more long term follow up.

Question?: Not sure what you are asking. It is possible to have degenerative changes in your discs even at your tender age of 30. My guess is that the "herniations" are mild and merely represent the normal process of aging. They certainly can cause pain but not in everyone. Try asking your question again differently.
