With DCOA Brace, many patients who once faced surgery are now finding relief through non-surgical support and stabilization.
EXPLORE PRODUCTSMEET THE TEAM
Bill began his career in spinal bracing in 1993 at American Professional Bracing (APB), where he learned the fundamentals of brace design, biomechanics, and quality. During those early years, he suffered a serious lumbar spine injury. Several physicians recommended a spinal fusion, but unwilling to undergo surgery at a young age, he turned to a chiropractor and bracing to manage his pain. That experience anchored his belief in conservative care and continues to drive his passion for helping others avoid invasive procedures whenever possible.
Recognized for his leadership and sales ability, Bill helped shift the industry from primarily Orthotic and Prosthetic shops to broader Durable Medical Equipment, medical-supply distribution, expanding patient access to high-quality bracing, and enhancing the chiropractic industry. After the sale of APB in 2005, Bill founded American Medical Products in 2010. Today, AMP continues to create braces “for the patient, by the patient,” supporting conservative care and healing for back, knee, wrist, ankle, and shoulder injuries.
Outside of work, Bill enjoys time with his wife and six children, staying active, and maintaining the healthy lifestyle that supports his own recovery journey.
WHAT CAN DCOA BRACE DO FOR YOU?

The DCOA Brace is designed to follow the natural lordotic curve, creating disc space between the vertebrae while preserving neutral lumbar lordosis and promoting healthy postural habits.
Builds muscle memory
Provides compression and proprioceptive feedback to build muscle memory for correct spinal mechanics.

Unlike elastic supports, a non-stretch belt provides an isometric moment that activates and strengthens core muscles during everyday activity, in sports, and at work.

Our Universal Brace streamlines your inventory and ordering. Accommodating patients with a waist ranging between 23”-60”.
The DCOA Brace can be worn either under or over clothing. Braces are not to be worn directly against the skin; a thin layer of fabric is recommended between the brace and the body.
