U can also use TENs machine ( check that it is safe for pregnancy) which send electric Impulses to the area of the soreness or pain. If u cannot afford one, u can rent from mother and child shop.My wife did that and it helped her get through the aches and pains
My wife did visit TCM and they can't do much about the swelling of feet. As for her back aches and joint pains，I try to help her massage .
