In Simi Valley, California, Dr. Joan Winter provides integrative veterinary care. The practice’s listed services include Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) and acupuncture. House calls are offered.
Acupuncture is a common supportive therapy among integrative vets for back pain, IVDD recovery and arthritis, all frequent in French Bulldogs. Ask how many flat-faced (brachycephalic) dogs they see. See our French Bulldog IVDD guide.
