Sun SenSITIvITY
And MedIcATIOn
DAMAGE caused by certain medications in
conjunction with unprotected sun exposure
can be anything from mild redness to an
extreme reaction resulting in hospitalisation.
Unfortunately, although recovery is good in
the short term, the long term effects can
be devastating in later life.
Antibiotics such as tetracycline’s
are prescribed for acne sufferers,
successfully killing the bacteria
associated with acne. These
antibiotics are part of a group that
can trigger sun sensitivity to the
skin.
Roaccutane is another popular
treatment for acne. It thins the
skin all over the body, so a high
SPF must be applied to any areas
that are to be exposed to the
sun at all times, not just when
sunbathing. The high SPF should
be continued for at least 6 months
after the treatment has ceased,
whilst the body’s skin reverts to its normal thickness.
Even herbal remedies are not immune to the problem. St. Johns Wort the popular
anti-depressant also causes sun sensitivity.
Sun bed users this applies to you, too! If you are an acne sufferer and taking
medication please take the necessary precautions.
When prescribed any medication, to be taken orally or used topically, do ask your
pharmacist about sun sensitivity. Do read labels and information accompanying the
treatment.
We all know sun burn leads to sun damage later in life and unfortunately skin cancer
for some. Either cover up well or use at least SPF 30 to be safe.

PODIATRIC
biomechanical research
has shown over the past
couple of decades that a
fair list of musculoskeletal
pains may be caused (or
worsened) by the way we
stand and walk.
Try and visualise this example: a
person has flat feet. This means
their feet roll inward when standing
and weight-bearing. This in turns
causes - or exagerates - some degree of a ‘knock-knee’ condition. The knock-knee then changes
the ‘Q’ angle of the thigh, affecting the hip angle and lower back.
If we walk through the days, months and years with poor lower limb mechanics, we contribute to
‘wear and tear’ in all the wrong places.
So what can be done?
A vast array of health professionals can point you in the right direction these days. Your regular
Chiropractor, physiotherapist, etc will all be able to provide treatment for symptomatic pain in your
knees, hips, etc... But a podiatric opinion is also essential.
Many Podiatrists (Chiropodists) have undertaken further specialist training in biomechanics. This
means that if you book a ‘biomechanical assessment’ with a podiatrist, you will have an expert
opinion on your foot structure, mechanics and walking style from someone who has studied the
feet and lower limbs for years.
What happens then?
If your biomechanical assessment reveals a problem, your podiatrist will recommend some
exercises and most notably, some tailor made orthotic insoles.
Such ‘orthotics’ are not the simple arch support or gel ‘footbeds’ as retailed in shoes shops and
chemists.
They are a specific prescription, made to measure for you (and guaranteed for life). They are made
from a mould of your feet, and have extra features and
posts to subtly correct your feet and legs... and the way you walk.
Generic orthotics as sold in shops may not be the prescription/insole you require for your needs -
so take podiatric opinion before putting anything in your shoes!
A custom-made pair of orthotics slip ‘invisbly’ into your shoes and help you when walking. They are
suitable for people of all ages, and help people from the most active athletes and runners, to the
most pedestrian of limited walkers.
