It depends on your diagnosis and your doctor. Like any prescription it should be specific as to the diagnosis, the recommended treatment, the frequency and duration. If it's an acute problem that needs closer monitoring your script may be good for 4-6 weeks or less so that you can be re-evaluated sooner. For a more stable or chronic problem you may get a script good for 2-3 months. Sometimes you may just get a script for short term therapy of a few sessions for instructional purposes for someone who can be independent enough to be on their own. As always, your particular insurance coverage plays a big part.

What is the best cat breed for animal therapy?
It depends on what therapy the cat is going to work most with. Here is the 3rd reason, in the link I've added below, for cats being good therapy animals: 3. Petting or brushing long hair cats can be great physical therapy for individuals with muscle disorders. Recently, long hair cats have been used with patients suffering from muscle conditions. The act of brushing a cat's thick coat can help to slowly increase flexibility and ease muscle and joint stiffness. Not only is brushing a cat's hair good for exercising certain muscles, it is also quite relaxing. The best type of cat for this type of pet therapy is said to be the long hair Persian breed. http://www.perfectcatcare.com/cat-care/cat-therapy-%e2%80%93-reasons-why-cats-make-good-therapy-animals/

How does physical therapy fit into the sciatica treatment plan?
Physical therapy is a very effective treatment for getting rid of sciatica. Your spine doctor may refer you to a physical therapist for your multidisciplinary sciatica treatment plan. Physical therapy (PT) typically involves passive and active therapies. Passive PT refers to treatments (e.g., heat/cold packs) administered by the physical therapist, and active PT requires your “active” participation (e.g., therapeutic exercise). Passive physical therapy aims to gently relieve painful soft tissue tension by relaxing your body, thereby preparing your body for active therapies that promote strength, flexibility, and long-term pain prevention.
