Our Story

Lai Acupuncture was founded in 2003 by Dr. Jasmine Hong Lai on a simple yet powerful belief: true healing honors both tradition and the individual. With over 30 years of clinical experience, Dr. Jasmine Lai has dedicated her life to helping people find balance, relief, and renewed vitality through Traditional Chinese Medicine.

After serving as Chief Oriental Doctor at Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in China, Dr. Lai brought her expertise to New York, where she has since become one of Nassau County’s most respected acupuncturists and herbalists. For over two decades, her Floral Park clinic has been a trusted wellness destination for patients seeking compassionate, effective care.

At Lai Acupuncture, we blend ancient healing wisdom with modern insights. From acupuncture and herbal medicine to facial rejuvenation and post-stroke therapy, every treatment is personalized with intention and care.

We believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Whether you're managing chronic pain, seeking emotional balance, or simply looking to feel your best, we’re honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

Our Clients

Read what our clients have to say about their experiences:

"After two months of debilitating shoulder, neck, and arm pain (including a painful click when lifting my arm), I was fortunate to find Dr. Jasmine Hong Lai at Lai Acupuncture. They were able to get me in quickly, which I gratefully appreciated .

Dr. Lai gentle technique made the needle placement completely painless. The addition of the tens machine and heat lamp really targeted my pain points and provided significant relief. For the first time in two months, I slept through the night without needing pain medication! The office environment is also very clean, comfortable, and calming.
I'm already looking forward to my next appointment and highly recommend acupuncture for pain management and other issues."
