No. If your spine is aligned properly you more than likely will will not have sciatica. Find a good chiropractor. Sciatica usually comes from the lumbar nerve roots being affected by spinal misalignment. If you stretch and do yoga, you may heal out of alignment, even though you feel better. Even in the case of the piriformis spasm causing sciatica, it is better to get your pelvis aligned properly by a chiropractor before stretching the piriformis.

It is quite often that a pillow change can help your neck "feel" better. However, the cervical spine should never be taken for granted, pain or no pain. Did you know that you could seek chiropractic care for spinal tune-ups without pain? And did you know that there are gentle non-force non-crack chiropractic techniques? I would seek out a good chiropractor and get the cause of your problem fixed rather than just getting your neck muscles to relax with a different pillow, leaving the underlying cause of your problem to worsen over time.
