As the first physician to specialize in the resolution of chronic pain, Dr. C. Norman Shealy is one of the leading experts in pain and depression management worldwide. From the tender age of four, Dr. Shealy knew he wanted to become a physician, but he never quite comprehended how far it could take him.

After 60 years within the healthcare sector, after a short retirement Dr. Shealy has returned to practice in 2014. Finding a perfect heir to his legacy, Dr. Sergey Sorin and Dr. Shealy now run the Shealy-Sorin Wellness Institute.

After graduating with a Medical Doctorate from Duke Medical School in 1956, he started his career as a skilled neurosurgeon.

JCO Interviews Dr. C. Norman Shealy on Holistic Health, Part 1

I did graduate from Duke University Medical School, took a general surgery residency for a year, and then had five years of neurological residency at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and was involved with basic neurophysiologic research. In 1965, I theorized that we could control pain by stimulating the dorsal column of the spinal cord, and this actually revolutionized pain therapy in this country. From dorsal column stimulation, I very quickly moved into transcutaneous electrical stimulation, and I was really responsible for a huge surge of interest in controlling pain with electrical stimulation.
