Gold Coast Chiropractic in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea district, led by David V. Melendez, DC, has practiced Pettibon System corrective care from Birmingham Drive since 1990. The Pettibon System uses weighted head and shoulder apparatus combined with repetitive cervical traction to restore measurable disc height and sagittal spinal curves, a structural rehabilitation model that complements the manual therapy at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy. Founded after graduating from Cleveland Chiropractic College in 1989, the practice now operates as a multi-generational clinic with four additional doctors of chiropractic, all graduates of Life Chiropractic College West. As a 100 Year Lifestyle affiliate office, Gold Coast integrates spinal correction with nutritional counseling and lifestyle modification protocols, a preventive framework paralleling the dietary guidance at Nurture & Flow Nutrition. Corrective care plans utilize pre- and post-treatment comparative radiography to document vertebral realignment progress across multi-month Pettibon protocols targeting scoliotic curvature and kyphotic postural deformity.
