Kidney stones are stones that develop in your kidneys when high levels of dissolved salts or minerals form in the urine. Kidney stones are incredibly painful and result in over 600,000 hospital visits each year. They can reflect underlying concerns that can have a broader impact on your overall health. HolSpanMD delivers excellence in minimally invasive surgical management of kidney stones while also providing both medical and lifestyle solutions to help you limit your risk of future pain from kidney stones.

Hydration: Dehydration can lead to the development of a kidney stone, so ensuring you are properly hydrated will help reduce your risk.
Diet: More fresh produce and fewer processed foods will lower your sodium, and therefore, lower your risk of kidney stones.
Obesity: Poor metabolic health can be related to a variety of risk factors for kidney stone production, including weight gain, a sedentary lifestyle, and hormone imbalances.
Kidney stones inflict excruciating pain, affecting 1 in 10 Americans, costing billions annually; HolSpan's holistic approach aims to alleviate suffering and enhance prevention.
