Neff Physical Therapy (PT) received the Practice of the Year award at the 11th annual HODS International Diagnostic Studies Symposium. Daniel Neff, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and Kris Davis, Doctor of Physical Therapy, accepted the award on behalf of The EMG Center, the diagnostic branch of the Neff PT practice, at the symposium, which was held in San Antonio, Texas, from Nov. 1 to 3, 2024. The international HODS symposium highlights physical therapy practices that excel, both in the United States and around the world, and have advanced board-certified degrees in electromyography (EMG) and musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS). To be qualified to perform EMG and MSKUS, the practitioners at Neff Physical Therapy had to successfully complete a two-and-a-half-year medical residency program and pass a national clinical EMG board exam.

The international committee selected The EMG Center, a diagnostic portion of Neff PT, as its 2024 recipient. At The EMG Center, patients are able to have a local Neff practitioner perform an EMG or MSKUS right in the clinic.

An EMG test is often ordered for anyone experiencing weakness, numbness, tingling, or pain and involves a precise technique using a tiny wire electrode to assess electrical signals in specific muscles. This test is important because it helps determine whether the numbness and tingling is a result of a muscle being affected directly or if issues lie in the nerve connections to the muscle. This distinction is vital for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning, ensuring the right treatment is provided to relieve the patient's symptoms.

The international HODS symposium presents the Practice of the Year award to physical therapy practices that excel in cutting edge diagnostic techniques and provide advanced treatment and research.
