Fast Relief for Kidney Stones
- When a kidney stone becomes too large or painful to pass on its own, your doctor may recommend 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.
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.
If you’re experiencing severe symptoms, please go to your nearest Emergency Department.
