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.
Sound Familiar?
- Your knee is fine on the climb up, but angry on the way down.
- The trail run with your friends went great. The 10 days of back pain after, not so much.
- You used to say yes to everything. Now you plan around what aches.
- You've rested, iced and scaled things back. It helped at first, but the pain keeps coming back.
None of this means you’re broken. It usually means something has been asked to do more than it’s ready for.
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.
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
Pain is often 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: We calm it down. Hands-on treatment and smart training changes settle the pain, so you can keep moving instead of stopping completely.
- The Second Summit: We 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. We keep going.
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.

The technique of how Dr Andrew gets my body aligned especially my neck and my spine is probably the best I’ve experienced. Highly recommended!

September 19, 2025Andrew is doing an amazing job helping me to keep my spinal motion at a top level and to maintain a healthy body while training up to 20 hours a week. The best practitioner out of all physios and chiropractors I have been to!

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, 2024I 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!

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, 2025Hands 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.
