Dr. Bill Tortoriello graduated from the National University of Health Sciences (NUHS) in 2006 as a Chiropractic Physician. Soon after, Dr. Bill opened his own private practice in Chicago, Integrative Chiropractic, where he still treats patients today.
From 2014 to 2020, and again in 2022, Dr. Bill served as adjunct faculty for the Clinical Sciences Department of NUHS, teaching Functional Rehabilitation, as well as Sports Medicine courses.
In 2007, Dr. Bill attended his first course in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), a principled approach to physical medicine and rehabilitation that now serves as the basis for his treatment approach. In 2014, after completing hundreds of hours of continuing education, including a final 6-day rotation in the Physical Medicine Department of Motol Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic, Dr. Bill was officially certified as a DNS Practitioner. Furthermore, due to years of an additional, separate track of DNS coursework that he completed, Dr. Bill was also certified as a DNS Pediatric Practitioner, which enables him to perform a unique physical examination on infants and children, as well as provide conservative, functional
treatment if necessary. Dr. Billâs pediatric expertise can serve as a useful, effective adjunct to the care provided by pediatricians.
In 2019, Dr. Bill was honored to be invited by the Prague School of Rehabilitation to attend their DNS instructor certification course which only occurs every two years in Prague at Motol Hospital. Since then, Dr. Bill has had the pleasure of teaching a variety of DNS seminars to his colleagues and students across the country. In fact, the DNS program is responsible for educating thousands of healthcare practitioners around the world every year.
