There is no explicit evidence demonstrating the impact neck position may have on pre-existing sciatica. Poor posture--slouching--has, however, been shown to increase pressure on the lower back. A sciatica patient should, therefore, keep his head, neck, and torso well aligned as much as possible.Source:
