As PEMF professionals, it is our obligation to know and abide by all safety measures and precautions.
The AOPP Legislative Mission
The Legislative arm of the AOPP aims to
protect and expand the safe, ethical, and educated use of PEMF therapy. The AOPP legislative committee monitors proposed and passed regulations that may impact PEMF practitioners, distributors, and/or manufacturers. We announce updates, and draft letters of opinion along with appropriate contact info for decision-makers to organize members and unify our voices. The regulatory efforts we get involved with will remain issues on our agenda until a conclusion is reached. In addition to drafting responses and calls to action, the AOPP will also reach out to leaders requesting meetings to further discuss the uses and mechanics of PEMF.

Are there new PEMF regulations in your area? Let us know:
We must always follow local and state laws, and we encourage the active participation of our members in their local legislative bodies, particularly when it comes to PEMF therapy. By participating in the formation of policy and abiding by the laws and best practices set forth, we can help educate others and help to further the use of PEMF therapy for humans and animals in need.
