[Mechanisms of action of some physical factors in therapy of patients with urolithiasis].

The authors consider four principal physiotherapeutic complexes applied in stone-eliminating therapy of patients with urolithiasis and mechanisms of action of these physical factors. In all cases of stones detection in the upper urinary tracts lithokinetic therapy begins with therapeutic impacts on the area of the affected kidney and upper ureter followed by the action on the affected part of the ureter.
