In the USA, biofeedback devices are medical devices and are governed by law.  The intended use of these medical devices is for “muscle relaxation and muscle re-education” , to manage stress and pain and improve quality of life.  Licensed chiropractors, counselors, dentists, medical doctors, homeopathic medical doctors, naturopathic medical doctors, oriental medical doctors, osteopaths, psychologists, psychotherapists and veterinarians may use biofeedback for any purpose under the scope of their practice allowed by their license.

Biofeedback professionals who are not licensed in one of these professions must be certified in biofeedback or neurotherapy as a therapist or specialist by an accredited an approved certification board. (Currently that includes only BCIA and NTCB)  There are no exceptions to this law other than the licensing laws mentioned above.
