About Us

Boston Brace was founded by M.E. "Bill" Miller in 1952.  While working to build a successful O&P patient care facility in Indianapolis, Indiana, Bill was invited to provide all O&P services for the Children's Hospital of Boston.

Because Children's Hospital was also a teaching hospital for the Harvard Medical School, Bill was afforded a unique opportunity to research and develop new O&P products and work alongside the staff physicians and professors.             

In 1975, Bill successfully designed and patented a revolutionary thermoplastic bracing system for the treatments of scoliosis.  The brace was later referred to as The Boston Brace and is presently used throughout the world.

Boston Brace continues to be the leading provider for orthotic bracing. Boston Brace maintains a network of educational support with several patient care clinics (NOPCO) located in world class medical facilities, including Children's Hospital of Boston and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Working closely with such diverse and progressive educational institutions, has offered Boston Brace the opportunity to continuously test, streamline, and improve the products and processes for its customers, partners, and patients. Specializing in pediatric orthotic management, we continue to drive advancements in technology for the management of Scoliosis, Plagiocephaly, and various neuromuscular disorders.
