There is a great book here: http://www.amazon.com/Treat-Your-Back-Robin-McKenzie/dp/0959774661
No affiliate link because no one should have the back pain I've had to endure!
I get these too. My physical therapist says that the trapezius muscles are working too hard because there are other back muscles that need to be doing their job. She gave me exercises to engage these muscles better.
She did some manipulations Trigger Point Release that got the trapezius to ease up and it feels tons better. But I've had 5 other PTs and this one is the only one who is actually able to help my symptoms. You also might look into The McKenszie Method.
Might want to check out Treat Your Own Back by Robin A. McKenzie. I have one of his older books and some of the exercises in it have been indispensable. I've had lower pain on and off for ten years (31 now) and instead of waiting weeks for it to go away, his techniques get it over with in a day or two.
Try these exercises-

You may be able to find the book in your local library.
BTW, seeing a real Dr. is virtually of no use unless you are in such bad pain that you need a narcotic pain medicine. Current guidelines state that essentially nothing medical should be done for six weeks after the injury.
Treat yourself with exercises and Aleve over the counter. Don't do bed rest-clearly makes recovery longer.
And check out the book "Treat Your Own Back" by Robin McKenzie, physical therapist. http://www.amazon.com/Treat-Your-Back-Robin-McKenzie/dp/0959774661
Physical therapy. The exercises in this book (recommended by my doctor - grateful for that recommendation since I just had to buy the book rather than pay for PT!) fixed me...
HOWEVER I think course of treatment greatly depends on why you got sciatica in the first place, so YMMV on whether this works for you. I had the full blown leg pain/tingling and still have numbness in my foot thanks to a protruding disc diagnosed with an MRI. Pain is pretty much gone though. Good luck!
