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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Caroon’s for a few years now. I feel that he provides me with the services of a chiropractor and a physiotherapist. Dr. Caroon recommends exercises for me to do between treatments to help strengthen my areas of concern. Dr. Caroon is super personable and offers various appointment times throughout the week. I highly recommend Dr. Caroon as a chiropractor on the North Shore!

January 7, 2025I highly recommend Dr Caroon. He is as stand up as it gets and has created a great chiropractic practice on the North Shore. My family and I have been going to see him since he founded Second Summit Health & Performance and we have all witnessed the business grow over the years but the values that Dr Caroon has instilled never waiver.

Dr. Caroon is amazing. His ability to work with you and figure out what is going on is above and beyond. He has a fabulous outlook and really listens. He has made my quality of life so much better. I feel very comfortable in recommending him to anyone.

January 16, 2025I’ve followed Andrew from one location to another – he’s that good! As someone who doesn’t feel comfortable with every traditional technique of chiro, I’ve always loved that he listens, respects what I want to try and what I don’t, and is gentle with me. He’s honest with me about when I’m doing well and when I really need to come back soon for another session. Thanks Andrew!

My husband and I have seen many chiropractors over the years. Andrew at Second Summit Health is the best! He is very knowledgeable and skilled in his treatments. We always feel better after our visits.
