Meet Dr. Bill

Dr. William Nolan, know as Dr. Bill to his patients, is originally from the North Shore. He grew up in Hamilton and attended Bishop Fenwick High School. Dr. Bill earned his undergraduate degree in Sports Medicine at Norwich University where he participated in the Corps of Cadets.

While at Norwich, Dr. Bill decided he wanted to be a chiropractor. Dr. Bill was involved in a motor vehicle accident during winter break, and needed to seek care due to the pain. Dr. Bill went to see a chiropractor for the first time in his life. The chiropractor took X-rays, showed Dr. Bill what was wrong, and recommended a treatment plan.

After winter break, Dr. Bill returned to school free from pain. While back at school he participated in a game of pick-up basketball. After the game, he realized that he did not use his inhaler for exercise-induced asthma! Dr. Bill was sold on chiropractic for two reasons. First, his pain went away. Secondly, the chiropractic adjustment removed the interference in his spine so his lungs were able to function better, which improved his exercise-induced asthma. It was at that moment that Dr. Bill decided he wanted to become a chiropractor. Following graduation, Dr. Bill enrolled in Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, MO, where he earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic degree.

Shortly after graduation in 2001, Dr. Bill opened his first practice in Oakville, MO. This practice quickly grew to be one of the largest practices in the St. Louis area. Dr. Bill enjoyed his success in the Midwest but missed the East Coast.

In 2007, Dr. Bill opened his second practice in Newburyport, MA. This practice, like the one in Oakville, also experienced rapid success. This success caught the attention of the business world and in late 2008, Dr. Bill started a management consulting company with another Norwich graduate. The company focused on customer service and customer retention for YMCA’s, non-profits and other small businesses.

In late 2011, Dr. Bill decided that the business world was challenging and exciting but that he missed patient care. Dr. Bill decided that practicing in the same community where he lived was near and dear to his heart. Cherry Street Chiropractic was born in January 2012. Dr. Bill started seeing patients in 2012 and the practice started to grow. Dr. Bill used his functional medicine training, clinical nutrition education as well as his love for sports medicine and rehabilitation to create the premiere place for total body wellness in Danvers.
