What Causes Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones form when minerals in the urine harden into small crystals. Some stones pass on their own, while others can get stuck, keep causing pain, or become too large to pass comfortably.
​
When that happens, treatment may be needed to break the stone into smaller pieces or remove it safely. Triangle Lithotripsy helps patients understand whether non-surgical lithotripsy may be the right next step.

Welcome to Triangle Lithotripsy
Triangle Lithotripsy Corporation is committed to the principles of trust, ethics, and integrity, which have guided our mission since 1989. Founded with a dedication to improving patient care, we specialize in lithotripsy, the only non-invasive medical procedure used to treat kidney stones.
​
Our journey began with a vision to offer a compassionate and effective solution for those suffering from kidney stones. Over the years, we have grown significantly, and by 2010, we were proudly treating more than 100 patients each month. This growth is a testament to the trust our patients and urologists have placed in us.
What is Lithotripsy?
Extracoporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy, or ESWL, uses targeted sound waves to break kidney stones into smaller fragments that may pass naturally.
How to Schedule Care
Treatment begins with your physician or urologist. Ask your doctor if lithotripsy is appropriate for your kidney stone size, location, and symptoms.
Know the Symptoms
Kidney stone symptoms may include sharp side or back pain, pain while urinating, blood in the urine, nausea, vomiting, fever, or chills.
Kidney stones are miserable. Waiting them out can be worse.

How Lithotripsy Works
Lithotripsy is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted shock waves to break kidney stones into smaller pieces.
​
During treatment, the shock waves pass through the body and focus on the stone — without surgical incisions.
​
Once the stone is broken into smaller fragments, those pieces can usually pass more easily through the urinary tract.
Break up the stone without surgery or incisions.
Common Questions
Am I a candidate for lithotripsy?
You may be a candidate if you have a kidney stone that is too large to pass, causing recurring symptoms, or has not passed on its own. An evaluation can confirm whether lithotripsy is right for your stone.
Does lithotripsy hurt?
Most patients tolerate the procedure well. Some discomfort, soreness, or cramping can happen as the stone fragments pass, but recovery is usually much easier than more invasive procedures.
Is lithotripsy covered by insurance?
Kidney stone treatment is commonly covered by insurance when medically appropriate. Coverage depends on your plan and clinical evaluation.
