North American Medical Corporation announces
the appointment
of scientific advisory board chairman, Dr. Norma Shealy
|
 Norman Shealy is one of the
world's leading experts in pain management.
He was among the first physicians ever to
specialize in the resolution of chronic pain.
A pioneer in developing safe and effective
treatments such as Biogenics, he founded, in 1971, the first comprehensive pain and stress
management facility in the country, The Shealy Institute, respected world-wide for its
innovative and successful rehabilitation approaches.
Over the years, Dr. Shealy's intensive pain and stress management
research has resulted in numerous pioneering treatments. His published works total over
275.
His seminars and workshops are given worldwide, and attended by
physicians and lay persons alike. He has acted as consultant to leaders in every
specialty, including the personal physicians of President's Kennedy and
Eisenhower.

The noted English physician Dr. Francis Peabody said to famous Boston
physician
"The secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the
patient."
Dr. Shealy has long adhered to this philosophy. While still in medical school,
he once commented to a friend, "The most common symptom among humans is pain, but nobody seems to specialize in
treatment of this symptom."
From there, he went on to establish the Shealy Institute, a center for the treatment
and research of chronic pain. This medical center has become world renown for its foresighted therapies and
treatments.
Dr. Shealy, now retired from clinical services, continues his research and teaching,
and shares his concerns for patients and the medical profession alike with anyone who would enjoy his
insight.
Like Francis Peabody a century ago, Norm Shealy says today that "while
the science of medicine is
indispensable to the physician, it is the art of practicing medicine that heals the human body and soul."
His contributions include:
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
(TENS)
Pain control through gentle electrical stimulation.
Facet Rhizotomy
The permanent, safe numbing of an irritating spinal joint
nerve.
Dorsal Column
Stimulation
The control of pain by electrically stimulating the dorsal column of
the spinal cord.
Healy RelaxMate
II
The best antidote for stress.
Biogenics
The revolutionary self-regulation technique which helps one achieve
physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Five Sacred
Rings
Energetic circuits which specificially optimize DHEA, Neurotensin,
Beta-Endorphin, Aldosterone and markedly reduce Free Radicals.
