Our History

National Orthotics and Prosthetics Company (NOPCO) was founded by M.E. "Bill" Miller in 1970. 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.

Today, NOPCO offers state-of-the-art patient care and possesses an outstanding reputation in the field of orthotics and prosthetics.
