Boston Brace was founded by M.E. "Bill" Miller in 1970. A talented and dynamic professional, Bill was working to build a successful orthotics and prosthetics patient care facility in Indianapolis, Indiana when he was asked to provide all O & P services for the Children's Hospital of Boston. Bill accepted the invitation and began a new chapter of his professional career that would lead to the creation of Boston Brace.
Because Children's Hospital of Boston 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 some of the world's most innovative staff physicians and professors.
Bill rose to the challenges that these profesionals set forth and in 1975, he successfully designed and patented a revolutionary thermoplastic bracing system for the non-operative treatment of scoliosis. The Boston Scoliosis Brace is used throughout the world today and continues to be the gold standard for surgical alternatives. Boston Brace was formed as a custom fabrication facility for the Boston Brace, and for research and development which has lead to other successful bracing products.
