What the Data Shows: PEMF Is Growing — and AOPP Is Leading the Way
This week on Thursday Live, Dr. Jerry Dreessen breaks down why the newly released PEMF Employment & Wage Summary marks a turning point for the profession. For the first time, PEMF is moving beyond anecdote and opinion into measurable data—showing who is practicing, how PEMF is being used, and what practitioners are earning. The numbers reveal a field in transition: many using PEMF part-time, a growing group building sustainable businesses, and top earners already reaching professional-level income. With applications spanning human wellness, sports recovery, neurological support, equine care, small animals, and emerging livestock use, PEMF is clearly no longer niche but cross-disciplinary and mainstreaming.
The session also explains why this data matters far beyond income. It shows a real marketplace, real consumer trust, and real economic activity—exactly what early-stage professions look like before wider recognition. By establishing PEMF’s first clear economic identity and laying groundwork for industry classification, Association of PEMF Professionals is helping move PEMF onto the same path once taken by acupuncture, chiropractic, and massage therapy: organization, standards, research, and long-term credibility. This first survey becomes the baseline for future growth, opening doors to better research, policy conversations, and institutional acceptance. The takeaway is clear: PEMF has a future, and data—built collectively through AOPP—is the foundation that will protect, grow, and legitimize the profession for years to come.
