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.

Thanks to Andrew I am completely pain free. After realizing I was suffering from Bursitis in my hip I decided that chiropratics was the way to go. In only a few weeks Andrew cured the problem! His knowledge and experience has me out on the tennis court again playing without that terrible pain. I have a few exercises to do that will continue to help me moving forward but I wouldn’t be moving in comfort at all without Andrews help. If you are suffering make your appointment today…..and you too can get back to what you love!

June 21, 2024Andrew not only “fixed” my back, he also gave/showed me exercises to do at home to (hopefully) keep it in good shape. Very personalized care in a relaxed atmosphere. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him.

I have been going to Dr. Caroon for years, and he has become an integral part of my wellness routine. I deal with chronic pain from past injuries, and with a regular program of active and passive stretching, manual adjustments, and exercises that I do at home, we’ve found a system that keeps my pain at bay and helps me to build strength and flexibility. I highly recommend Dr. Caroon for your wellness or fitness program!
