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 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.

I was dealing with pain that limited my activities, but with his tailored approach and clear explanations, I saw steady improvement. The treatment and exercises he recommended made a noticeable difference right away. Would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone looking for effective, personalized treatment.

Dr. Andrew Caroon is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything to me in detail. I had been dealing with neck and shoulder pain for months! He developed a comprehensive long-term plan to help me recover and get back to full health. I highly recommend seeing him and following his treatment and rehabilitation plan.

June 23, 2026Andrew 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.

I 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!!!
