By the time he was 4 years old, C. Norman Shealy, MD knew he wanted to be a physician. He graduated from and interned at Duke Medical School, Phi Beta Kappa and a member of Alpha Omega Alpha honor societies, and he had a 5 year residency in Neurosurgery at Harvard’s Massachusetts General Hospital.

Early in his career, he noted: ”The most common symptom in the world is pain, and yet nobody specialized in it.”  As he began his research, he learned that most long-term fixes for chronic pain came from alternative practitioners, the “folk domain”.   He consulted with acupuncturists, mystics, faith healers, folk healers, medical intuitives, astrologers, color therapists, and other non-traditional therapists.

None of these methods was THE cure for chronic pain, but several seemed to eliminate the pain in a good number of patients.  Dr. Shealy concluded it is the interaction of 4 main fields of stress:  the chemical, physical, electromagnetic and emotional and that this is the cause of all illness.

He created the dorsal column stimulator which uses small electrical currents to alter the electromagnetic fields in the spinal column.  This led to his creation of the TENS™ system of electrical stimulation.  He also discovered that low levels of the chemical DHEA were associated with chronic pain and so was  depression.

In 2015, he collaborated with another physician to create the Shealy-Sorin Chakra Sweep PEMF, the best device for local pain relief and inducing gamma brain activity and Adreno/Scalar® for the most effective stress reduction known.
