Fast Relief for Kidney Stones

  • When a kidney stone becomes too large or painful to pass on its own, your doctor may recommend extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), also simply known as lithotripsy.

  • As one of few Bay Area health systems with an on-site lithotripter machine, we can treat your kidney stones sooner, often within 24-48 hours.

  • Lithotripsy is done at our Concord Medical Center by board certified urologists who care for hundreds of patients with kidney stones every year.

Non-Invasive Treatment for Quick Recovery

  • Soundwaves are painlessly sent through your body to break the stones into small, sand-like particles, which can then easily pass in your urine.

  • Since there’s no incision, you have less discomfort and a faster recovery.
    In most cases, lithotripsy takes just 30-45 minutes, and you go home the same day.

  • Stone fragments typically pass within 24 hours; learn more about what to expect with lithotripsy.
