Lithotripsy is safest without any side effects:

   This modality of treatment is absolutely harmless and with out any side effects. It is approved by most rigid & strict health standards all over the world including FDA (America) & DIN (Germany). Some people may think that if these shockwaves can crush a stone, why don’t these damage the body, as the tissues of body are more delicate than stone? The answer is that our body has 60-70% of water. The characteristic of the Lithotripsy waves is that these travel through water without resistance but when come across a stone (which is devoid of water), lot of resistance is created and mechanical energy is generated. These energy-loaded waves penetrate the stone surface at a critical frequency and spread through its substance in various calculated dimensions.
This phenomenon first produces multiple cracks in a stone, and then transforms it into small sand like particles, in situ, without damaging the surrounding body tissues. Its example is like our voice comprising of sound waves, which travels in air without hindrance but faces lot of resistance, when hits a wall and echoes back.

Here it is important to point out that these harmless & safe shockwaves are absolutely different in physics, chemistry & characteristics from harmful ultraviolet rays used in radiotherapy for cancer disease. The ultraviolet rays used to burn caner tissue, effect the surrounding organs of the body to some extent but the waves used to treat the stone, don’t damage the surrounding tissues at all.
 
As you know, for pregnancy and other ailments, many physicians prescribe ultrasound test. During pregnancy, sometimes this test is repeatedly performed, if the consulting physician considers it mandatory. This test has gained great popularity, being safe, and harmless. The shockwaves used for stone crushing are also modified ultrasound waves and are absolutely harmless for human body.
