Nearly 10% of Americans develop kidney stones in middle age. Many of their urologists turn to a procedure called lithotripsy.
Doctors use lithotripters to send shock waves that break kidney stones into tiny sand-like particles. These grains leave the body through the urinary tract.
The procedure is noninvasiveand doesn't require costly hospital stays or long recovery periods.
The nation's top provider of lithotripsy services is HealthTronics, which boasts 183 centers in 47 states.
Only 250,000 of the 600,000 U.S. kidney stone cases are treated with lithotripsy. The remainder of the cases either involve stones too small to require treatment or are treated with more invasive endoscopic surgery.
HealthTronics gets an average of $2,100 per lithotripsy device from private and government insurers.
