Comprehensive ESWL kidney stone treatment services in Bangalore
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is our primary service and area of expertise. This revolutionary, non-invasive treatment uses focused shock waves to break kidney stones into small fragments that can be passed naturally through urine.
Our advanced ESWL technology represents the gold standard in non-surgical kidney stone treatment, offering patients a safe, effective alternative to traditional surgical procedures.
