🌟 Introducing Dr. Callum Sutherland, PT, DPT! 🌟

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Callum Sutherland to the JADED team!

A proud graduate of Temple University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program in Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Callum Sutherland brings both fresh clinical expertise and a genuine passion for patient-centered care to the Jaded Body Wellness and Spine Institute. He has completed diverse clinical rotations in outpatient orthopedics, sports medicine, and subacute rehabilitation, with special experience in blood flow restriction (BFR) training, cancer rehabilitation, and vestibular care. These experiences have shaped his treatment philosophy of combining evidence-based practice with compassionate, one-on-one care to help patients achieve meaningful, lasting results.

Callum’s professional mission is rooted in helping people return to the activities that matter most—whether that’s playing with family, hiking Alaska’s trails, or competing in athletics. He believes physical therapy is not just about recovery from injury, but about building strength, resilience, and confidence for the long term.

Outside the clinic, Callum is an avid outdoorsman and lifelong competitor. He enjoys golf, hiking—including multiple backpacking trips in Europe—and spending time with friends and family. A Philadelphia native at heart, he is also a passionate Eagles and Phillies fan, proudly carrying his Philly sports spirit with him wherever he goes. In addition, Callum is a bagpiper, performing across the U.S. at ceremonies and cultural events, an experience that connects him deeply to tradition, discipline, and community.

Callum looks forward to serving the community with the same dedication he has shown throughout his clinical training: providing personalized, hands-on care that empowers patients to move, heal, and thrive.💪

Did you know our Doctors at Jaded fit custom orthotics?

What are the benefits of custom fit orthotics?
⚙️ 1. Biomechanical Alignment

Your feet are the foundation of your body. If they’re misaligned (flat feet, high arches, overpronation, etc.), it affects everything above — ankles, knees, hips, even the spine.
Custom orthotics:
• Realign joints from the ground up
• Balance weight distribution across the feet
• Improve walking and standing posture
• Reduce strain on muscles and tendons caused by poor alignment

✅ Result: Less joint stress, smoother movement, and better posture.



🦴 2. Shock Absorption & Pressure Relief

Every step sends impact forces through your feet, legs, and spine. Custom orthotics are made with materials that:
• Cushion impact forces
• Reduce repetitive stress on bones and soft tissue
• Prevent pressure points (especially useful for diabetics or people with plantar fasciitis)

✅ Result: Decreased pain and fatigue during standing, walking, or sports.



💪 3. Muscle & Tendon Support

When your foot moves inefficiently, nearby muscles and tendons have to overwork to stabilize you.
Custom orthotics help by:
• Supporting the arch and heel in optimal positions
• Allowing tendons (like the plantar fascia or Achilles) to function in their ideal range
• Reducing chronic overuse and irritation

✅ Result: Reduced inflammation and faster recovery from conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, or shin splints.



🧠 4. Improved Proprioception (Body Awareness)

The orthotic provides sensory feedback to your foot and nervous system, enhancing coordination and balance.
This is especially beneficial for older adults or athletes — it helps prevent falls and improves movement precision.



🔁 5. Long-Term Tissue Healing

By correcting alignment and load distribution, orthotics reduce microtrauma that keeps tissue inflamed or degenerated.
Over time, this allows:
• Soft tissue repair
• Joint stabilization
• Reduced risk of re-injury

How does Extracorpeal Shockwave heal tissue?

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) heals tissue through a combination of mechanical stimulation and biological activation. It uses high-energy acoustic waves (not electrical shocks) that pe*****te the skin and interact with underlying tissues — muscles, tendons, bones, and connective tissue — to trigger a cascade of healing responses.

Here’s what happens step-by-step:



⚙️ 1. Mechanical Microtrauma

The shockwaves create controlled “microtrauma” or stress in damaged tissue. This isn’t harmful; it’s designed to restart the body’s natural healing process in areas that have become chronically inflamed or stagnant (like tendinopathies or slow-healing injuries).



🩸 2. Increased Blood Flow and Neovascularization

Shockwaves stimulate the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and other signaling molecules that cause the formation of new capillaries (neovascularization).
➡️ More blood flow = more oxygen, nutrients, and healing cells reaching the area.



💥 3. Cellular Activation

Shockwaves activate several key cell types:
• Fibroblasts → produce new collagen for tissue repair
• Osteoblasts → promote bone healing and remodeling
• Tenocytes → repair tendon fibers

They also stimulate stem cell recruitment, which helps regenerate damaged tissue.



🔥 4. Reduction of Pain and Inflammation

Shockwaves reduce pain by:
• Disrupting pain receptor nerve endings (C-fibers)
• Decreasing substance P, a chemical involved in chronic pain signaling
• Promoting anti-inflammatory cytokine release

This combination reduces both acute and chronic pain.



🧱 5. Breakdown of Calcifications and Fibrosis

In conditions like calcific tendonitis, the shockwaves mechanically fragment calcium deposits, allowing the body to reabsorb them naturally.
They can also help remodel scar tissue and restore normal tissue elasticity.

How does Redlight (Photobiomodulation) heal tissue?
🌈 1. Light Pe*******on
• Red light (typically 630–660 nm) and near-infrared light (810–850 nm) pe*****te the skin and reach varying tissue depths.
• Red light mostly affects surface tissues (like skin and small blood vessels).
• Near-infrared light pe*****tes deeper tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and joints.



⚡️ 2. Cellular Energy Boost (Mitochondrial Activation)
• The light is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme inside the mitochondria (the cell’s “powerhouse”).
• This absorption increases ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production — the molecule that powers nearly every cellular function.
• More ATP = faster and more efficient cellular repair and regeneration.



💧 3. Reduced Inflammation
• Red light decreases oxidative stress by balancing free radicals and antioxidants.
• It also reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines, which helps control swelling and pain in injured or irritated tissue.



🧬 4. Enhanced Circulation and Oxygen Delivery
• It improves microcirculation — tiny blood vessels open up, allowing more oxygen and nutrients to reach damaged cells.
• Better circulation accelerates wound healing and tissue recovery.



💪 5. Collagen and Tissue Remodeling
• In skin and connective tissues, red light stimulates fibroblasts, which produce collagen and elastin.
• This leads to stronger, more elastic tissues and helps repair scars, tendons, and ligaments.



🧠 6. Pain and Nerve Modulation
• Red light can calm overactive nerves and help regenerate damaged ones.
• It also helps modulate pain signals and release endorphins, reducing discomfort.

Mechanisms of PEMF in Tissue Healing
1. Improves Cellular Energy (ATP Production)
• PEMF stimulates mitochondria, leading to increased production of ATP, the “fuel” cells need for repair and regeneration.
2. Enhances Ion Exchange & Membrane Potential
• Electromagnetic pulses influence calcium, sodium, and potassium channels across cell membranes.
• This helps restore healthy electrical balance in damaged or inflamed cells, improving cell signaling and repair.
3. Boosts Circulation & Oxygen Delivery
• PEMF increases vasodilation and microcirculation.
• Better blood flow brings oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissue and removes waste products more efficiently.
4. Reduces Inflammation & Swelling
• PEMF alters cytokine activity (molecules that drive inflammation).
• This can calm excessive inflammatory responses while still allowing the body’s healing cascade to progress.
5. Stimulates Collagen and Bone Matrix Formation
• PEMF has been shown to activate fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen) and osteoblasts (bone-building cells).
• This is why it’s FDA-approved for nonunion bone fractures and used for soft tissue repair.
6. Pain Modulation
• It influences nerve cell depolarization and can interrupt pain signaling.
• It also boosts endorphin release, which helps reduce pain perception.
