I basically just take over the counter pain meds for mine although often that is not enough to entirely get rid of the pain. I have not tried acupuncture for it--if you do decide to try it I'd be interested in how it works for you.
Congratulations again on your pregnancy. It must be nice to go in to see doctors now about a welcome and joyous medical condition!
