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.

Hands down Dr. Andrew Caroon is the best chiropractor I have ever worked with. His multi-disciplinary approach to pain management goes above and beyond what I have ever received from other chiropractors. As a recreational athlete and someone who enjoys weightlifting and an active lifestyle, his background in sports medicine is an advantage he brings to the table when working with athletes and active clients. He is personable and professional, all while taking the time to answer questions and ease your stress. He also provides you with exercises at home to facilitate your pain recovery process. I am so glad I found him and, without hesitation, recommend his services to anyone who needs an exceptional chiropractor.

December 5, 2023Andrew was great. He helped me to recover and heal from a nagging, painful and tricky back injury, along with an associated shoulder twinge. Plus he gave me some helpful perspective on toddler sleep issues too! Highly recommend.

Had a lower back injury that was causing severe pain. I was a bit apprehensive about seeing a chiropractor as I had never used one in the past, but was desperate for relief. Within minutes of meeting Dr. Caroon, my concerns dissipated. He was kind, thorough, and took the time to explain his process. Not only did Dr. Caroon help alleviate my back pain, but he provided me detailed strategies to prevent reinjury in the future. Would highly recommend!

January 21, 2024Dr. Caroon was the first chiropractor I have been to, and he has been great to work with! I went to him for shoulder and back pain and he worked with me to set realistic milestones and gave me exercises to help with the pain. He is very knowledgeable, and ensures his patients understand what’s causing their pain and how to address it. I highly recommend Dr. Caroon!
