This is my ten-year anniversary since first contacting you on the recommendation of Dr. Devine. I can't tell you how great my body feels today, compared to ten years ago. My mobility and range of motion today far surpass my greatest expectations. I am more agile today than I can ever remember since doing my marvelous “hand stand” that destroyed my body years ago. It's amazing how handicapped I was looking back over the years since the change was so gradual. Only now can I appreciate being able to function normally at my age.

Dear Dr. Davidson,
I am Lee Hubbard, mother of Richard Hubbard, who was your patient at around age 3 or 4 who had been diagnosed with nephrosis. I don't know exactly what you did, (neurofascial release) but he became symptom free and is now 27 years old....I was just checking the internet and found your web page.
I just wanted to thank you for what you did for my son. I have 4 other children now, and have become a health teacher in middle school in CT. I plan to move back to AZ when my baby graduates from high school in 2 years.
Keep up the good work.
Most sincerely,
Lee Hubbard
I have played professional golf for 40 years, in the last 20 years I have had many back problems and have seen over 1 00 specialists, without significant results. After seeing Dr. Davidson for three visits, he not only found my problem but is on the way to correcting it.

Dear Steve,
I am remiss in sending you a response thanking you for your help in my healing at the February NVC conference in Albuquerque. I just wanted to let you know what a blessing it has been in my life.
Thirty six years ago I fell approximately 50 feet (5 stories) on a construction project in Nebraska. As a result of the fall, my pelvis was fractured and misaligned and my left leg was short. Through extensive surgeries, the leg length was corrected but I still wore a I inch lift on my left shoe to enable me to walk. Even then, I walked with a limp. If I walked without my shoe more than just across the house, my back would hurt and I would be in pain. Without my shoe I walked with my right leg bent all the time to correct for the pelvic discrepancy.
During the third day of the conference you came up to me and told me you wanted to talk to me. You noticed my problem and told me that my pelvis was out of alignment. After some conversation you asked me to come to your room, take my shoes off so you could see that was happening and then you asked me to lay on the bed on my stomach. After working with me for ten to fifteen minutes you asked me to stand. I did and you saw that my hips and pelvis were even. You told me to go to the store and buy some new shoes. And I did. You later explained to me that my pelvis had been twisted and that this was what was causing the apparent difference in my leg length.
Steve, at the time I didn't even know that you were a doctor. And there was something in me that told me to trust you and give this a chance. You didn't know, but I had seen an orthopedic surgeon the week before the conference and scheduled an appointment to have surgery to shorten my right leg. Your intervention saved me a tremendous amount of pain and a year's recovery from very invasive surgery.
The week after I left the conference I went to California for three days and after that I went with my wife for three weeks to Italy. I walked everywhere while I was there. My wife said that sometimes she would not be able to keep up with me whereas before she would always have to wait on me when we went on walks. Sitting is also easier for me. I can go up and down stairs without holding the handrail. My stamina has increased greatly. One of the greatest pleasures is that I don't constantly live with pain in my pelvis and sacroilliac joint. There were many days in the past that I took as many as 16 advil to try to relieve the pain. My trip to Italy was virtually pain free. And I have constantly had sciatica pain in my right leg since the accident. It is still there but where before it was constantly an 8 on a scale of I to I 0, now it is maybe a 2 or 3. I bought 5 new pair of shoes in Italy and walked out the door with them on. I haven't been able to do that for 36 years.
I am so grateful to you for all that you did for me, Steve. Each morning when I wake up and put on one of the regular shoes I bless you and thank the universe for the healing that I experienced. This handicap was (in the Past) constantly with me. And now it is virtually gone.
You are a good man with a great heart. I thank you from the depth of my soul.
All the best to you and yours.
Your friend,
Charles Koetting
Dear Dr. Davidson:
I just wanted to thank you. With all the trouble I had with my arm and shoulder with that incredibly incapacitating pinched nerve, I never thought I'd be able to work comfortably (and yes, hour upon hour, as is my want!) You already know I sought and received treatment from the “best” doctors in Arizona, but none of them ultimately cured the problem...until now!
You and your little white homeopathic pills saved the day...the year! Who'd have thought?! I take two “Stannum 200” in the morning and then have NO cramping or discomfort in my arm all day. As a result, I can blissfully work from morning to night once again. I'm truly grateful.
You've made a convert to homeopathy! For a non-pill taker such as me, taking those little white pills these last four months was a big deal. It's very reassuring to know that unlike regular medicine, I can take these forever with no side effects. Thank you!!!
Sincerely,

Dear Reader.
I am a 45 year—old woman who has suffered with swelling in my knees for the past 15 years.
I am a teacher and a tennis player and can*t live without playing.
I lived with the swelling for 11 years. I was sent to a doctor that (after many tests) didn’t know what was causing the swelling. He told me that I would need exploratory surgery to figure it out. After surgery, the doctor said that I had rheumatoid arthritis and that I should see another doctor. The Rheumatologist said that I really did not have rheumatoid but we would try the treatment.
The treatment involved taking the drugs Plaquinel and Motrin. I took those drugs for about 4 years. They worked on and off. I had a flair this spring and I was very depressed.
Mv Mom found Dr. Stephen Davidson (my hero) and sent me to him.
Dr. Davidson does Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine. He looked at my body as a whole, he noticed that my hips were out of alignment (something no other doctor has ever noticed before). Dr. Davidson explained that my hips were causing my knee swelling.
He did his gentle "magic". I really didn*t feel much, but noticed that I felt taller when I walked. I have progressively gotten better with my visits. My range of motion with my knees is better than it has been for 15 years. I am off all medications and am playing lots of tennis.
I call Dr. Davidson "The Healer". He reminds me that it is called Osteopathy. He has worked to learn these "healing" techniques for over 30 years. I would recommend him to anyone who suffers.

Hi Dr. Davidson:
I thought you might appreciate our results based upon applying the knowledge obtained from the "Fulford DVD". My wife Joyce has not been able to get lasting lower back & leg pain relief for the past 4 years. We watched the first DVD from the Dr. Fulford series and learned that the first action to be taken is to get a release in the solar plexus area; he said if this is not done , permanant relief cannot be obtained from other treatments.
I cautiously did this first treatment to Joyce two days ago, got a release and immediately she was pain free and has remained so for these two days . This was particularly amazing to us because she has seen several DOs and many others over the past years without achieving permanent results. She still has some stiffness in her lower back so I plan to study the remaining DVDs and if I feel comfortable, apply the techniques.
I will provide you with additional updates, if you would like them.
Sincerely,
Jim Sargeant

It was my privilege to meet Dr. Davidson in the early eighties at medical meeting at Phoenix General Hospital. Steve has a way of making strangers into friends. For me and my family, this has proven to be a profound blessing. We have benefited greatly from his unique effective "neurofascial" release treatment.
One example: My son is a physician in Las Vegas. He developed a painful very disabling low back pain and an MRI indicated to a competent orthopedic surgeon that he would need extensive back surgery with fusion of several lumbar vertebrae. I insisted that he get on a plane and come to Phoenix to see our friend, Dr. Steve Davidson. My son arrived in a wheel chair. After one treatment, he was able to get up and move around, sit, stand and feel no pain. This was several years ago and he has done well to the amazement of the orthopedist that he occasionally encounters.
