Sports Chiropractor in North Vancouver
Get back out there. And stay out there.
Rehab-focused chiropractic and strength coaching for trail runners, skiers,
mountain bikers, and anyone who wants to age well and stay active for the long haul.
The problem
Sound familiar?
- Your knee is fine on the climb up, but angry on the way down. And it's not just a onetime thing
- The trail run with your friends went great. The 10 days of back pain after, not so much. You've rested, iced and scaled things back which helps for a few weeks. But the pain keeps coming back.
- You're having to pick your activities around what aches, when you used to say yes to everything.
None of this means you’re broken. It usually means something has been asked to do more than it’s ready for.
The frustration
Here's why it keeps happening
You've probably tried some version of the usual. Maybe a handful of treatments that felt great on Monday but wore off by Thursday.
Rest calms pain down, but it doesn't build you back up. So you go back to the same activities with the same body that got hurt in the first place.
The problem is, treatment that stops once the pain stops just puts you right back where you started: one big day away from the next flare-up.
Our Approach
The reality is, pain is usually a mismatch between what you’re asking of your body and what it’s ready to handle right now.
So we do two things.
- The first summit: calm it down. Hands-on treatment and smart changes to your training settle things down, so you can keep moving instead of completely stopping.
- The second summit: build it back up. Progressive strength and conditioning raises your limit, so the next big day doesn’t cost you a week in bed.
Most treatment stops at the first summit. But that’s just the first step
In the clinic, or on your own time
Come into the clinic in North Vancouver, or work with me online from wherever you are. Same approach either way.
Online coaching is built for people training for a race, an adventure, or just for life, who’d rather spend their time outside than in treatment room.
What to expect
Your first visit
A 60-minute assessment. We talk about what's going on and what you want to get back to, then do a thorough physical exam to figure out not just where it hurts, but why.
A plan that fits your life
You leave knowing what's going on, what to do about it, and what you can keep doing in the meantime.
Calm it down, build it back up
We treat, progress and adjust as you improve. When you're ready, the focus shifts from getting out of pain to building the capacity that keeps you out there.

Dr. Caroon is my go-to chiropractor on the North Shore. Being a chiropractor myself, I appreciate his knowledge of the body and therapeutic skill. I see him myself and refer my patients who are looking for someone in North Vancouver.

August 11, 2025I have been going to Dr Caroon for over a year now, and I am very happy with his treatments and his approach. He is a good listener and is great at asking questions to understand what the issues are. He has many different ways to treat an issue; he is not just cracking backs! He will also give follow up exercises to do at home to help recovery. I appreciate that he takes extra care to help me understand what each treatment is, how it works, how it might feel, and what the outcome should be. He is very patient and understanding and I never feel rushed.

Dr. Caroon was awesome to work with. Extremely knowledgeable and great to work with. After many years with lower back pain he straighten me out and gave me exercises to do on my own time. So far so good! Thank you Dr. Caroon

June 17, 2026Andrew has been great to work with – I have been seeing him for many months now, and he’s been a huge addition to my overall health maintenance. Even though I have been active and exercising for decades, I have learned new tools and tips to remain injury free from him. Highly recommended.

March 21, 2024Dr. Caroon is great. My family has been seeing him as needed for years. Unlike other chiropractors, he takes the time to teach exercises and stretches for preventative care. He’s caring and invested in our long-term health.
