Sensitive teeth: The waterpik is a great resource for cleaning in between teeth and down into the gums. If you were not a regular flosser before, then using the waterpik may take a little time for your gums to get used to it. Be sure to start at a lower power setting and give your gums a chance to heal in-between uses. Use sensitive toothpaste as well to help desensitize your teeth and you should be good to go.

Waterpik: most likely coincident. A waterpik is just an aid to help with oral hygiene routine. Be careful not to be too aggressive with any dental tools you use.
