Spinal surgery honestly presents with 50/50 chances for full recovery because it involves lot of complications in procedure and consequences after the procedure. So therefore should be consider as last option. What problem exactly your mother is facing during physiotherapy only reflects on what she is being advised to do.

First get the MRI done and consult the physiotherapist. There may not be immediate pain relief but further treatment depends upon results
