Fantastic experience: Outstanding, modern sports care that gets real results I came to Dr. Andrew Caroon after spending over a year in standard physiotherapy for chronic foot pain with little to show for it. At 83, I was dealing with chronic foot and heel pain stemming from locked, "frozen" foot joints and fascial tightness, alongside lower back spondylosis. My mobility and gait were significantly compromised. Dr. Andrew’s approach is a breath of fresh air. Rather than relying solely on passive adjustments or generic treatments, he focuses on functional movement, hands-on joint mobilization, and targeted rehabilitation exercises that address the mechanical root cause of the problem. Within just a few weeks under his guidance, the difference has been night and day. He has successfully settled my lower back and unlocked my feet to the point where I am now walking 30 to 60 minutes daily in relative comfort—progress I simply could not achieve elsewhere. He is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in his patients' long-term function and independence. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for effective, modern sports medicine and chiropractic care. Robert W. White
Thank you for the kind words Robert! Happy to help you get back on your two feet :)
Fantastic experience: Dr Andrew has been a key component in my success as a budding trail runner. We met at one of the races on the North Shore where he had a volunteer tent for the runners to get ‘tuned up’. He addressed my concerns with my knee pain at that visit and has helped me with other various flare ups over the past year now to keep me moving and feeling my best. I cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking my to feel their best selves who want to live crazy active lives like I do. Thank you for helping get me through two ‘mini ultra marathons’ on the trails!
Thank you Victoria! So fun working with you along your journey and watching you go from 'part-time' to 'full-time' on the trails 😆
Keep going!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Appreciate the review Racheal! Way to stay consistent throughout the whole process. Glad shoulder is feeling strong again 💪🏻
Fantastic experience: Dr. Caroon was awesome to work with. Extremely knowledgeable and great to work with. After many years with lower back pain he straighten me out and gave me exercises to do on my own time. So far so good! Thank you Dr. Caroon
Appreciate you Randy! Happy we got you back on the ice without paying for it afterwards. Keep going 💪🏻
Fantastic experience: I saw Andrew after a car accident and he’s been fantastic. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and explains everything clearly. Direct billing to ICBC makes the whole process stress‑free. I always leave feeling better. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much Tiffany! Glad you're feeling better. Keep going 💪🏻
Fantastic experience: It's been almost 3 years since I've been seeing Andrew. I am a person who does not particularly like being touched (I do not find massages relaxing!) but from the first visit, I've felt comfortable and safe in Andrew's care. He's helped me through some acute lower back pain episodes, and I was able to get an appointment quickly when I needed it the most. He takes the time to explain things in a way that makes sense to me, and I come out of every visit with confidence in a good plan, equipped with exercises to tackle whatever problem we are dealing with. Andrew helped connect me with other people that could help with my goals (and who have also become a big part of my life) - run clubs/clinics, a personal trainer, etc. and for that I'm so grateful! More recently he's helping me prepare for a big road and trail running race by drawing up a strength and run training program, keeping me accountable and fostering good, life-long healthy habits. He's made such a positive impact on my life - I don't know what I would do without him!
Vivian!! So cool to watch you grow as an athlete and as a person the last few years. Time sure flies! You’re just getting started. Keep going 💪🏻
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Andrew for a few years now, usually when I’m in significant pain. Every single time, he’s been able to relieve the pain substantially and get me functioning again. He is incredibly thorough, takes the time to assess everything properly, and explains what’s going on. The exercises he gives are practical and really help prevent further injury. I’m so grateful to have found him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and effective chiropractor.
Thank you so much Salima!
Fantastic experience: I connected with Dr. Andrew Caroon to create a workout program that would compliment the training I am doing for a few long trail races in 2026, leading up to the Golden Ultra in September. Now in the fourth month of Andrew's program, I can say I am seeing results in my strength, endurance, and running abilities. Working with Andrew, he fine tunes the workouts to what I need and can handle, while also ensuring I am pushing myself to make progress and see results. I appreciate the check-ins each week, the monthly visits, and importantly, the daily accountability to keep myself honest and my goals on track. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone who wants to improve their fitness, learn what they are capable of, and engage their goals!!
Thank you so much Terri! So much fun working with you. Can't wait to see you crush the Golden Ultra!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr. Caroon for several weeks and under his guidance, I have noticed significant improvement to my shoulder mobility, including a reduction in pain/fatigue. I would highly recommend Dr. Caroon’s services if traditional physio/chiro/RMT sessions have not worked to correct your issues.
Thank you Aaron! You're doing awesome. Keep putting in the work and your shoulder will keep thanking you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Andrew Caroon is wonderful. His knowledge and expertise has helped me immensely. I highly recommend his practice! Eileen Roth
Thank you Eileen! Glad we could make an impact for you :)
Fantastic experience: 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!
Thank you Debbie! You're a joy to work with :)
Fantastic experience: I greatly appreciate having Andrew’s support in my health and fitness journey. Having dealt with many injuries, I can truly say that working with him has made the rehab process much easier and more effective, from bicep tendinitis to my recent knee injury, he’s had my back. Thank you Andrew!
Thank you Sina! Happy to keep you on track with your training and getting you back to your handstands!
Fantastic experience: Quiet, compassionate professional Chiropractic services. Dr. Caroon is always a pleasure to visit and effective with his treatments.
Always a pleasure as well Mike! Appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: Happy to say I am lucky to have Andrew in my circle of care! He meets you where you're at and provides effective treatment to help me feel better overall! As an RMT, I find it important to have different types of practitioners in your corner in order to live life optimally! I treat a lot of people who are unsure about chiropractors and I highly recommend them to see Andrew because 1) he's good at what he does, 2) he's incredibly personable with a great sense of humor, and 3) he will not BS you :)
Thanks Kevin! Happy to have you in my circle as well! No BS :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Caroon is my go-to chiropractor on the North Shore. Being a chiropractor myself, I appreciate his knowledge of the body and therapeutic skill. I see him myself and refer my patients who are looking for someone in North Vancouver.
Thanks John! Appreciate the kind words. Lucky to have a superstar like you for my downtown peeps.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to chiropractors regularly since the age of 20. Sometimes to help with some pain, but mostly to maintain my good health. I am 67 today and can confidently say, Andrew is the best!
Thanks Mitch! Lucky to have awesome patients like you. Keep making those health deposits and watch that compound interest grow!
Fantastic experience: Andrew 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.
Thank you Russell! Happy to help. Next step, a full nights sleep! :)
Fantastic experience: Andrew has been supporting me greatly to recover from an accident. He’s been professional, considerate and always took a detailed look at issues and progress. Without his support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Fully recommending his services!
Thank you Felix! Happy to help get you back on your feet (and two wheels). 😁
Fantastic experience: Andrew 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!
Thank you Franzi! That really means a lot. Happy to help keep you moving!
Fantastic experience: Andrew is fantastic! He understands that people need treatment that fits into their everyday lives. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in, highly recommend!
Thank you Jackie! Happy to help :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Caroon is amazing - very thorough in his approach and takes the time to listen to my concerns. The adjustments are very effective and his addition of prescribed stretches and exercises have made a notable difference to my injury. I highly recommend!
Thank you Michele! You're amazing! :)
Fantastic experience: 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.
Appreciate the kind words Joanna! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Caroon is fantastic. He knows his stuff, always makes you feel welcome, and you leave feeling like he made a real difference in your recovery and your overall wellbeing. I always look forward to seeing him because of his pleasant demeanour, he’s always open to showing me a little extra to help with whatever I’m working through, and the adjustments always satisfy my body’s craving for a good crack 😄
Thank you Steven! Always a pleasure!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you Jafelin! It’s a pleasure working with you two!
Fantastic experience: Andrew has helped adjust my multitudes of back problems. He’s very knowledgeable and conscientious about my issues. So glad I found him!
Thank you Marcy! Glad I was found :)
Fantastic experience: 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!
Thanks for the kind words Debra! Happy to help you stay active all these years!
Fantastic experience: Andrew has provided excellent care that really helped me get back to riding and running. 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.
Thank you Matt! So happy we could help keep you on the road and on the bike. :)
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Caroon for years, and he has become an integral part of my wellness routine. I deal with chronic pain from past injuries, and with a regular program of active and passive stretching, manual adjustments, and exercises that I do at home, we've found a system that keeps my pain at bay and helps me to build strength and flexibility. I highly recommend Dr. Caroon for your wellness or fitness program!
Thank you Taleah! Appreciate you and glad all your hard work is paying off 🙏🏻💪🏻
Fantastic experience: I'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!
Thank you so much Judith! 🙏🏻
Fantastic experience: I 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.
Thank you Spencer! Appreciate you and the whole clan!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Andrew Caroon is truly exceptional. I came to him experiencing significant neck and back pain, with referred pain in my shoulder, pelvis, hip, and knee. After a thorough assessment, he performed a few adjustments, and I am genuinely impressed with the results. The pain in my neck and shoulder has completely resolved, and my back and hip feel much better. Dr. Caroon demonstrated professionalism, extensive knowledge, and patience throughout the process of the initial assessment. I look forward to my upcoming treatment session. Thank you, Dr. Caroon.
Thank you so much Shirin! Happy to help :)
Fantastic experience: Dr Andrew is amazing. He helped me with my soccer jaw injury. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
Thank you Amen! Glad I could help :)
Fantastic experience: Who 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.
Thank you so much Gabrielle! Takes a good human to know a good human :)
Fantastic experience: I've been visiting Andrew for the last 3-ish years, following him from his previous practice in Edgemont. Andrew is friendly and professional, and has helped me through various sporting injuries the last little while - I can't recommend him enough. Thanks Andrew!
Thank you Sam! Appreciate all your support and happy to keep you on the bike!
Fantastic experience: Andrew has been great to work with - I have been seeing him for many months now, and he's been a huge addition to my overall health maintenance. Even though I have been active and exercising for decades, I have learned new tools and tips to remain injury free from him. Highly recommended.
Thank you Jeff! Happy we are helping you keep your training on course :)
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Andrew I am completely pain free. After realizing I was suffering from Bursitis in my hip I decided that chiropratics was the way to go. In only a few weeks Andrew cured the problem! His knowledge and experience has me out on the tennis court again playing without that terrible pain. I have a few exercises to do that will continue to help me moving forward but I wouldn't be moving in comfort at all without Andrews help. If you are suffering make your appointment today.....and you too can get back to what you love!
Thank you so much Shelley! Love to hear you're back out on the court crushing the competition :)
Fantastic experience: Highly Recommend Andrew, while recovering from tendinitis. He is knowledgeable, provides a variety of techniques including active release, and therapeutic exercises.
Thank you so much Dionne!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Getting me all teary-eyed over here, Tess! Thank you so much for the kind words. Helps when you have great patients to work with :)
Fantastic experience: 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!!!
Thank YOU Bruce. Happy to help you keep doing what you love!
Fantastic experience: Dr Caroon is professional but very approachable. He listens and assess then gives a plan. Very caring
Thank you Terril! You’re a pleasure to work with :)
Fantastic experience: Andrew not only "fixed" my back, he also gave/showed me exercises to do at home to (hopefully) keep it in good shape. Very personalized care in a relaxed atmosphere. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him.
Appreciate the kind words Carol!
Fantastic experience: Dr Caroon provides excellent services, is attentive to patient needs, and overall is very professional in his treatment approach.
Thank you Clinton!
Fantastic experience: Dr. 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!
Thank you Shaz!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Caroon has really helped with some long term issues. Great listener and great at home exercises.
Thank you Blair!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Caroon is an exceptional chiropractor and really great person. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone looking for a higher standard of chiropractic care, anytime I have an issue, he’s always been able to help me.
Thank you Adam! Takes one to know one :)
Fantastic experience: Andrew helped me recover from a knee injury that I developed training on my own. Dr. Caroon's expertise and approach are unlike any other chiro I have had in the past. Dr. Caroon thoroughly assessed my injury and provided me with a personalized treatment plan that included manual therapy, exercises, and a warm up routine. He not only helped me recover from my injury but also changed my approach to strength training. He took the time to educate me on how to properly "brace", which helped me be more prepared when I lift heavy at the gym. His attention to detail and willingness to answer any questions I had made me feel confident and comfortable during my recovery process. Thanks for changing my mind about chiro's and my approach to fitness!
Thank you for your kind words Eddie! Knowledge is power! Glad we could help get you back in the gym pain-free :)
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Dr. Caroon for a few years now. I had acute back pain that limited my mobility. Soon after a few treatments, he had me on my way back to full mobility. I now look forward to my regular maintenance appointments.
Thanks Mark! All your hard work is paying off!
Fantastic experience: 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.
Thank you so much Nicole! You and your family are a pleasure to work with. :)
Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Dr.Caroon for quite some time now. He's helped me with all sorts of aches and pains. If you need a good back adjustment this is the guy to see. Thanks!
Thanks JP!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Caroon is a fantastic chiropractor! After just a few sessions my mobility and pain are so much better. Very knowledgeable and effective. I highly recommend Second Summit Health & Performance!
Thank you Margie!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr Caroon for over a year now, and I am very happy with his treatments and his approach. He is a good listener and is great at asking questions to understand what the issues are. He has many different ways to treat an issue; he is not just cracking backs! He will also give follow up exercises to do at home to help recovery. I appreciate that he takes extra care to help me understand what each treatment is, how it works, how it might feel, and what the outcome should be. He is very patient and understanding and I never feel rushed.
Thank you Amanda!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Andrew Caroon is a wizard. I had some hip flexibility issues and he really helped me on the spot, but more important gave me the knowledge of how to further focus and strengthen my hip! thank you!
Thank you Randeep!
Fantastic experience: 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!
Thank you Brendon! Happy we could make your first chiro experience a positive one :)
