    Kidney Stones Treatment Directory

    If you have a kidney stone, treatment options vary based on many factors. For a small kidney stone, often the stone passes on its own. Drinking plenty of water and soaking in a warm bath will help the stone pass with less discomfort. If the stone requires medical attention, it can be treated by shock wave therapy or surgery. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about how kidney stones are treated via home remedies and medical procedures.
