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.

January 3, 2025I have been using Andrew’s services for a few years now and I find that if I miss a session I notice it with my body stiffness. I suffer from hip impingement and Andrew provides relief and allows me to golf weekly. Thankyou Andrew!!!

January 7, 2025Who knew going to the chiropractor could bring so much joy! Dr. Caroon has been such an amazing addition to my overall health and wellness. I followed him from his previous practice in Edgemont to his current location and have jokingly admitted he’ll be treating me until I’m six feet under. My most recent visits have been due to a pesky shoulder injury. As much rehab at the gym and life can allow, I knew it was time to kick it up a notch and have Dr. Caroon take a stab when I reached a plateau with my at-home care. Dr. Caroon has been instrumental in helping me go from not being able to raise my arm no further than (almost) laterally, to now able to lift my arm to full extension. Along with his positive attitude towards helping one get back to “life”, his rehab suggestions and exercises have been instrumental in getting back into activities I love a lot quicker than I expected. His multi-disciplinary approach to overall health, wellness and care are second to none. Thank you Dr. Caroon for not only being an awesome clinician but an even better human! I’ll be paying it forward by referring you to anyone who needs exceptional care.
